Saving multiplayergames is ridiculous. how do you get every single participant to enter the game just in the same time? how do you manage the simultanious loading of the save-file?
In this case, I suspect that "Saved Games" would be best displayed as another gamemode?
I'm not certain, but I've seen online games saved and loaded on a few other RTS games, and they effectively worked as such.
Either way though, it isn't as useful as disabling/enabling countries via gamemodes, which I can see a bunch of uses for. Like having different eras within one mod, so it would be possible to have post-RA pre-RA2 allies/soviets, then RA2 allies/soviets, then post-RA2 allies/soviet, and so on. Coupled with adding new countries, this feature looks like a good idea to me.
