[C3C] Steam version, Windows 10 - Whither save files?

[vorlon_mi]

Just got a new laptop with Windows 10, no optical drive, so I bought the Steam version. I already had Steam to get Civ V, so I took the red pill.

Each time I hit Ctrl-S to save the game, it seems to be saving them in the cloud somewhere. I see other save files that I didn't put there. Is there an option to save my games locally, rather than "out there"?

Can you navigate back to the 'normal' save location (.../conquests/saves) when the directory pops up? It should default to the last-used location next time you save.

Also, it's recommended you install outside of program files, but I'm sure you already knew that.

For the Steam version, it's usually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Saves .

In the Steam libary, right-click the game => Properties => Local Files tab => Browse Local Files button will take you where it is on your system. I moved my games to a different drive, so it's a different place for me.

Thanks for the responses. I followed the steps above, and found the files. They are indeed local, and the Steam install just gave me some save games in the folder along with mine. No harm, no foul.
