Can games be "continued"?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ever since I started playing the game, the Continue Game button is grayed out. I always have to load games directly. When does this button come into existence?

that button is if you are in the middle of a game and choose "main menu" it's not like the MOO2 continue button.

OK but the manual (page 7) states otherwise:

"Continue Game (to continue your last game)"

and further down:

"Restoring a Saved Game:

If you had a game in progress that you saved (or was automatically saved) you can return to it by loading the saved game. You can select Continue game to load the last game you played."

The "continue" button is also grayed out for me and I'd like it to "do what it says on the tin": load my latest save.

I mean, numerous games have this feature (Oblivion, Chaos Theory, to name but a few) and it comes in really handy for me.

I emailed support to have their opinion on the matter

Thanks

Also, it seems that the most logical use of continue would be the last saved game regardless of whether you left the game or not.
