Saving game

[axx0]

So we can either:

1. save the game as in the original binary .sav format (this shouldn't be a problem as the whole .sav structure is more or less figured out)
2. save the game in a newer format which would make editing the saved game easier and new stuff could also be added, but this means you can't open the file with the original game (is this even important?)

Option 1 is a no go if we want more than 7 civs,

I think option 2 is the only option. I suggest a ziped json or bson format

Should the new sav file have a new extension (e.g. .savx) to distinguish it from the classic files?

[reubene]

It's not really necessary, you can tell what a file is from the contents

I was planning on looking into this next unless you want to tackle it?

Go ahead, I'm busy with some other stuff.
