Summary0004144: Quickload button
DescriptionIt takes three clicks to reload a game, Play > Load World > World name.
Since 99% of the time the player will be loading their last game, it would be cool if you could do this in one click from the main menu.

I was going to suggest this. I hereby declare my support for this idea.

Yeah, supported. Continue (from last save) would be nice to have.

I'm actually a fan of this too.

Currently, "create world" is more emphasized than "load previous world". Given that the general idea is that you'll only ever need one world to play in, bringing existing worlds forward (maybe to the top of the list in the "play" menu) seems like a good idea.

I'm a big fan of this idea. Jerith nailed it. A bigger button on the main screen:

Continue Last Game
World: <worldname>

^^ Something like that. It would be a huge improvement on the UI.

Another quick note on this. Does AVWW track how much time you spend in a world? If so, it would be awesome to arrange worlds in decreasing order of the amount of time spent in them. This would immediately emphasize the worlds you play in regularly over others (perhaps multiplayer worlds) that you only visit occasionally.

@jerith Only problem with this approach is that when you want to create a new world and start from the beginning (and thus making this new world you main world) it will take forever before you new world will be on top.

Spork: Good point. Maybe some hideously complicated algorithm that considers time spent in-game, newness of the world, civ level, etc. Or perhaps track the regularity with which you play certain worlds. (A most-recent-first approach would be annoying if you play various multiplayer worlds occasionally but spend most of your time in your main single-player world.)

It's something that would almost certainly require tuning, and there's no single right answer.

Bumped up because of all the support for this one.

Okay, now in:

* The game now keeps track of the last world that you loaded, and a new button at the top of the main menu lets you quick-load the last world you were in.

Thanks!
