jamestown, CS

Sory It went this way ! Steam backup only takes it´s own files, not plugin files ? GameSave manager http://www.gamesave-manager.com/ would have helped ! Supported games http://www.gamesave-manager.com/?s=support&c=supported_games&id=c Reliability of these new games is far to be heard of !

Very disappointing.  Not that it's any particular comfort, but it took a couple of years before custom content in SC4 reached a level of quality control where the player who used a lot of it could be assured of having a relatively stable game.  The obvious lesson is "Save your work in the game often."  I don't mind doing manual saves because it leaves me in control.  With both SC4 and C:S I use a running datestamp that I change a couple of times a session.  Thus today's first save would be 151107-01.  A couple of saves later would be 151107-02 and so on.  The savedgames aren't that large, and every couple of days I clean out the folder.

Don't get discouraged.  Jamestown was good stuff.  Whatever you do next will be even better.

eh, i'm not that upset since i start new cities pretty often anyway. i was liking getting more detailed with it though, and i'm going to use that a lot in my next big city. it's going to be on a map of montreal! 

the save game for jamestown is still good, just won't be playable without some very large annoyances like having to regrow a fair amount of buildings. i'm going to keep it around and make some road maps and transit maps while i'm planning my new city. maybe i'll keep playing it if it turns out to not be too bad. i think i got ~most of the stuff back that i need for it
