Hi folks,

I'd like to have savegames treated differently. Everytime I start, load or continue a game, the first save I make suggests "NewSave" as name, instead of my city's name. If you didn't choose a name for your city, a name is given randomly. So my problem is, i often overwrote old saves by just clicking "save" when i first saved in a session of a continued game and many of my first towns from the first year are gone forever.

It would be nice, if the game makes the savegames unique - even if the city names are the same on two different projects - perhaps by using folders or zipping them up and add time and/or date to the filenames.

i don't even know, what's the clue of giving savenames by yourself. That's nothing the player should care about. Just the city name and if she/he wants to share it online, maybe a commentary to describe the state or the circumstances of this particular save.

thanks for reading,
a big fan of your work.
keep it up.
