Add an auto-save feature
In case of sudden power loss or system crash it would be very helpful to have an auto-save feature
Note: I found
bug 1217 while looking for similar RFE's, but since this is not really a bug I decided to create a feature request since I don't know how ADOM team goes through these and whatnot.
So, having recently lost two characters to a system crash the matter of auto-saving of course popped to my mind. It would be nice if ADOM took periodical auto-saves. A win in ADOM typically takes quite a long time (6-12 hours maybe?) so it would be nice if all this used time was protected against sudden termination of the game.
I am playing The Last Remnant currently and this game auto-saves after each area transition. A similar auto-save feature would in my opinion work well for ADOM as well. You would never lose a lot of progress this way, except in some specific locations like greater vaults.
Of course there's the matter of easier save-scumming (got confused by Skeletal King on my ice bridge. Kill ADOM, restore auto-save, try again), but in my opinion protecting "honest" players is more important than avoiding making things easier for dishonest ones.
