Suggestion: Era Reload mode

At the moment we have "reload anytime" & "commitment" mode.

My main problem is on commitment mode you cannot take a base in a different direction/timeline. I want to pick commitment mode because the threat of destruction is much more interesting/fun. But Its a shame in a game when bases take a really long time to build that you have no way of trying something different/creating a new story.

My idea would be "era reload". Your game lets you save every (x) years. Or alternatively, is saved separately when certain technologies are researched. This way the you can't save-scum whenever a raid arrives and re-play it if a key pawn dies, BUT you can go back and, for example, do the traveler quest you weren't able to do 1st time around.

Now you could argue just do "reload anytime" and just decide not to do any saves until you're at a new point. This is fair but you could also say the same for commitment mode - just pick reload anytime and only use one save. I.e. its certainly doable but would be nice to have a proper mode for it.
