i am absolutely sick of the backup message

i just tabbed back into the window after having left the game running overnight per usual and saw no less than six stacked reminders to backup

here is the thing: i leave my computer running 24/7. I leave the window with the game running open. The only way I am losing my game progress is if somehow while rebooting for updates all of my browser data is wiped, in which case I have more important things to be dealing with than a browser idler.

There is no force on this earth that will get me to ever load one of these backups. If somehow something extremely unlikely happens and I lose my progress, I am either going to restart from scratch or I'm quitting entirely; there are zero outcomes in which I use that backup save. It is strictly a nuisance notification for me.

I am begging for there to be at least an option to toggle this thing off.

yes I agree you should be able to toggle it off, but damn you have some hatred for a notification

also... you should definitely sleep your computer to save power.

legit and fair but the power draw is pretty limited and my local power grid's all hydroelectric so emissions arent a huge concern with household power use where i live

lol, to me the backups are one of the most important things in this game, you never know which upgrade might lose you a couple hours of progress by killing all your army with a surprise attack or suddenly there is a new faction (diplomacy) that will constantly attack you

before every upgrade that seems sus i do a backup and multiple times i have decided to go back to the previous save, to properly prepare for what's to come

that's not something i've ever had a problem with as i've played-- but i am very very deliberate with setups and am very conservative about when i move forward, so i tend not to have issues with getting taken by surprise

but yeah it's not that the actual backup function is a problem because the way you're using it is obviously perfectly reasonable, it's that before you could turn notifs off, wow was the reminder to backup spammy lmao
