Re: [Youtube] Reporting to the Board LP with DrNickDoom

As I said at the top of my comment you didn't screw up irreparably

I usually pronounce it either lord-fa-DOOR-a or lord-fed-OR-a

Re: Too many enemy bases

A note that i think somebody else had a similar problem,

Re: Version 0.11.5

Re: Save game names

and then you run against the problem you complained (i think it was you, but i'm not sure) about to sslik, the filename on disk isn't the same as the one shown when you type the name in the save menu

Re: Save game names

makes things less userfriendly (because, yes, many users seem to like to exchange save games, so recognisable names are essential). They could just use names without specials chars then? hang on... did you just... space is a special char on some platforms... maybe you could just... not use special ...

Re: Error
