In "My Games/Warlords/" you will find a the ini config file:

This is a regular text file, you can double click it and edit it in NotePad.

These are the lines I change for autosaving:
Code:
; The maximum number of autosaves kept in the directory before being deleted.
MaxAutoSaves = 20

; Specify the number of turns between autoSaves. 0 means no autosave.
AutoSaveInterval = 1
For those who want to turn on chipotle cheat code, to see more detailed information about what is going on, change these lines:
Code:
; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle
Hope this helps,

Is there way to hide those
"Autosaving...
Autosaving...
Autosaving...
Autosaving..." texts?

Bump due to the re-activation of this thread. When playtesting, I set autosave to however many turns are available in the game (i.e., if playing normal speed, maxautosave = 500).

Definitely a good idea for testing!
