Yes it -is- cool. I'm a fan of the ROTTK series since the first
one. This one is the -best- so far.
One -major- probelm is that with the Saturn's interal ram -empty-,
you can only save 1 games. With the cart ram installed, that number
increases by 9 for a total of 10.
400+ blocks for a save... ouch!

I don't think that's a MAJOR problem. Personally, I'm glad the move
has been made towards RAM carts on both platforms, since it can be used
across many games, it's portability and reuse value, and that
manufacturers aren't limiting themselves in terms of save options vs extra
RAM costs. Plus we've also seen their commercial value in the forms of
the Pro Action Replay carts.
I remember how the Jaguar Theme Park couldn't save the actual park that
you made because of the size of the EEPROM. This basically meant that you
had to start over with a new park everytime you continued. This, IMHO, is
not good. If it takes 400+ blocks, that's because it needs 400+ to save
your _entire_ game, not just the "most important" parts (note the
quotes). If it doesn't, it's not exactly saving your game... just an
approximation of it.
Besides, as a stategy game, this is probably one of the higher values
we'll see for quite some time.
On a side note, is the Saturn memory cartridge Battery Backed SRAM or
is it Flash RAM like the Playstation memory card?

Is this a detailed strategy wargame, like Ogre Battle and Dark Wizard, where
you can spend lots of time setting up your units for battle?
