Decay

Can multiplayer games be saved and resumed later?

I could also strongly argue that Warcraft, Starcraft, Supreme Commander, and C&C are all basically just graphical updates of Dune II. And that Baldurs Gate and Dragon Age are basically graphical updates of Ultima I. And that Diablo was basically a graphical update of nethack. And that Empire was basically just a PC conversion of existing boardgames. So what? The times are long gone when computer games did not always build and improve upon previously existing games. If you find a game today that you think look completely original, it is probably only because of personal lack of knowledge.
