I found the Black Lab Games\StarHammerVP directory in My Documents, but that folder is empty.

Where are the save games located, please?

In the steam version, the location is managed by steam. It's usually something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\{some_number}\337680\remote ( {some_number} relates to your steam userid, so will vary for everyone) )

Thank you Zak and blacklab. Many of my Steam games have their save games in My Documents\My Games or just My Documents, in their associated game title folder.

So, it is possible to locate them somewhere other than the default Steam userdata numbered folders that are very difficult to find.

Just a thought for a patch perhaps, to save them in a more user friendly location.
