That makes sense to me, and I am natively English. It would save you from 
having to again set all the options you might have set for the existing 
game, such as generator, huts, barbs, techlevel, anything that you changed 
from the defaults. So I would probably also want a command (maybe /clear 
? or /default ?) to clear all such options back to default settings to 
account for the case that maybe a new game is wanted that does not retain 
the settings just used in the previous game.
