While it does feel that way, the save feature should be kept the way it is to allow for people to save in combat. It should never be taken away! Why? I would love to save in the middle of a hour and a half 32+ unit combat, because shit happens. Games crash, things get reset, and sometimes we dont have an hour and a half to sit in a combat. It's nice to revisit.

Taking away something that could be essential for some, but cater to others preferences is potentially dangerous.

Use your discretion when save scumming.
