Location of Saved Games File Folder

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've searched my GCII and GCIIDA folders twice, with a fine tooth cone, and cant find where the game stores your saved game files. Anybody have a suggestion?

The folder is under your current Windows account's "\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Games\".

Make a shortcut to that folder. You'll need to access that often in the future, for easier file management(deleting, renaming, etc.).

I just checked it out, and did find saved files from GC II DA in the MyDocuments folder, but not all of them. Only the autosaves from my custom games, and the end game saves from my campaign games were present. Autosaves from my campaign games weren't there, and my personal saves from my custom games also weren't there. Any idea why this is, or where those other files would be?

No definite idea since I've not noticed a lack of save files in my version, just a few suggestions.
You say you looked in the DA folder, obviously if some of the files you are looking for were from DL they should be held elsewhere.
The quicksave and autosave files are limited, you should only ever have one non-campaign autosave and a previous autosave file, it appears to automatically transfer and overwrite. Same seems true for quicksave files.
Have you patched recently, maybe older saves aren't read anymore after patching ?

Hope you find them anyway.
