Yes, there should be a way to save the replay as a file. Mark has a point. I often saved my Civ I replays in the beginning, and printed them to see what I did wrong.

Ok, the thought that springs straight to mind is that if the replay is made from a datafile, making a simple read application would be easy?
Then if you want to show anyone your history all you need is to send the datafile.

At least it covers my greatest worry. In SMAC, the replay feature went by too quickly. You just couldn't keep up with it, in 5 seconds the replay would show hundreds of turns of action, and then be over before i had the chance to read anything. Better than Civ 2's replay, admittedly  . But with this 'play button' stuff, it even prevents the infinte 'press spacebar' syndrome from Civ 1 as well. So a big 
But yes, i would like to save my replays as well (it might still be an option, like when you close the replay it could ask if you want to save....

looks to me like when you select the city out of the list it is pointed too on the map.
i think you should also be able to see its growth and in size and culture when you click on itand have it zoom in on the city as it progresses in fast forward..

I know its not the best way, but in many cases you can probably save your game before finishing, and therefore load up that game and watch the replay whenever you want.

But a record button would fit, and it would be cool graphics.

Some civers brags unbearably about how easily fast they can ICS-expand and/or conquer the the world. A recorded file as proof would once and for all settle the difference between truth and bullshit.
Also, such a rec-feature would give those players who cant (for some reason or another) play MP-games, a change to relate their own skills with other civ-veterans. Downloadable MP summary-replays would be a nice subsitute.
Finally, notice the "view history by..." dropdown-menu, with several options, no doubt; Score power, military power, economical power, cultural power and so on. At least I hope so. This is an upgrade compared with Civ-1, where one only could view military landgrabbing achievements.

I sure hope you guys are right, for reasons I mentioned in my previous reply. Hopefully a Firaxian comments this.

really ralf, i think its safe to assume that you can save your replays. theres no reason that you shouldn't be able to. could you do it in civ1? anyway, saved game files arnt that large. you could just transport them. yes, i know it would be a tiny bit more of a small hassle, and yes, i know that firaxis could probably do it very easily, but you guys have to stop being so critical of them.

Perhaps there is no button, because the replay is automatically saved.

I want to show others my history in the game so that they know just how bad I really am.
