[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#3516) Save files to large and redundant

["Alan Horkan" <horkana@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure but i get the feeling that civserver overwrote one of my
save games* with the current game, which is not exactly running the games
in parallel but if i can verify this problem i will bring it up properly
onlist.

Also, if an idea is particularly good then doing it as a script means that
it is not integrated and is far less likely to be ported or maintained.

* i had only kept the very last save game.
