Deleting elements of a save game

[Amartus]

Hi there

I seem to recall, at least from HOI2, that it was possible to delete certain elements - the recorded history (ie the events that had occured) - in order to reduce the size of the save game .eug, and speed up the game. Is this (still) true, or am I way off? And if I am remembering correctly, what exactly is it safe to delete in the save game .eug?

Many thanks in advance,
Amartus

Events history should never be deleted.

You can delete combats history and history logs, but there will be 0 speed change from that. You'll only reduce save-game file size, but that is not a real issue in DH as we optimized the save-game format and it is about half the size compared to Armageddon 1.2.

I have edited the save games relating to my current campaign several times, taking the date I am playing back in time by a year: so if the save game is for the 10th of June 1920, I have changed the date to become the 10th of June 1919. Would this cause a slow down, especially if done repeatedly?

No, but you run highly into the chance of messing up events and stuff. Why don't you just edit the end date?
