+  - Maps are a fundamental part of the game. In fact, the game is named after one style of game map, City-based. The other style is Territory based. The type of map and the data included with it can greatly affect gameplay. The game has five maps by default, and we may add more in the future. You can also download maps with the mod tools.

+{{ :gamemanual:mainmenu_load.png?direct&400|}} GearCity is a very long game. You probably can't play a full game in one sitting. So you will probably want to save the game at some point. And to load that save game, you'll need to use the load game window.
+To open a save game, click the "Load Game" button.
+Select the save game from the list (#1).
+Information about the game appears on the right side of the window (#2).
+To load the game, click the "Load" button (#3).
+If you wish to delete a save game. Select the save from the list (#1), and then click the "Delete" button (#4). This action will delete both the game and the reports for the save file. It is important to delete the save file from in-game. Otherwise, you could orphan several hundred files accounting for hundreds of megabytes of storage space.
