Summary0006159: Standardize Save File Location
DescriptionCurrently AI War stores its save files, profile infos, etc within the game's own folders.
Most other games and programs use %APPDATA%/<program name> (Windows XP and on) or ~/Library/<program name> (Mac) to store this sort of information. These folders are where people expect data to be stored, and it makes backing up the state of every program easy.

If added, should be optional. I actually prefer save files being in the game directory.

This can be set in options at the moment under 'Game Data Directory'. It will put any log/error files generated in the same place mind you so it's not perfect.

Erm, if you use this, make sure to use %USER%\save game files path, otherwise it will try to use one account across all accounts on the computer and fail to make any save games on any account except the one specified in the settings screen.
