Rome Remastered is fucking great (though the AI is still dumb as rocks during sieges and will march units aimlessly up and down while you pelt them with missiles), but the new UI has ... issues.
The Load Game and Save Game functions are on the same screen. You click on the file, then click on one of two identical-looking buttons to either save or load. Worse, if you double click on a file on the list, it automatically LOADS that file rather than saving it like in any other game. All you get is an "are you sure you want to load this game?" warning, which looks exactly like "are you sure you want to save this game?" unless you are paying REALLY close attention.
It's late. You're tired. You just won a brutal victory against the AI, beating impossible odds. Your general even got one of the rarer camp followers as a reward as well as an extra command star. Time to save and go to bed. You pull up the load/save menu. You double click on the file for this campaign and click "yes" to the save overwrite prompt.
Except you didn't save. You loaded your file from 3 hours ago. The game autosaves at the beginning of every turn, not after every battle. That's assuming you had it enabled of course.
Do the battle again, bitch. In fact do the entire turn again, bitch. What's that? You did five battles this turn and a bunch of other stuff because you were leaving the really hard battle till last? Do them all again. Fuck you.
To anyone wanting to play this game (and you should, it's fucking great) - quicksave after every battle, until it becomes instinct. You'll thank me later.
