====== Banners of Yunhe saves ======

===== Slots and the autosave =====

**Save / Load** in the top bar (or **Load a saved game** on the title screen) has ten save slots and an autosave. The game autosaves at the start of each of your turns and before each battle. If an autosave ever fails, a message offers to try again or to export the game to a file, and the previous autosave is kept.

===== Export and import =====

**Export to file** writes the game to a JSON file that you keep wherever you like. **Import from file** loads one back. Use them to:

  * keep a backup of a campaign,
  * move a campaign to another computer,
  * move a campaign between the browser and the desktop editions (the files are the same).

A file is checked when it is imported; a damaged or edited file is refused with a reason, and your current game is left alone.

===== Where saves are kept =====

^ Edition ^ Where ^
| Browser | In the browser's own storage for the address you play on (IndexedDB), preferably kalretro.au. Each address (kalretro.au, retro.theiguru.au) has its own saves; export and import to move them. Clearing the site's data in the browser deletes them, so export anything you want to keep. Each browser and each computer has its own saves. |
| Desktop, Linux | ''~/.config/Banners of Yunhe/'' |
| Desktop, Windows | ''%APPDATA%\Banners of Yunhe\'' |

Settings (volume, mute and reduced motion) are kept separately from saves and are not in an exported file.
