This is currently WAD but I'm not a fan of it either. It won't be changing for 1.1 but it is on the post 1.1 list.

[quote who="Fistalis" reply="2" id="2844059"]Sure thing. Just to note though.. I haven't seen another crash since this one in 1.09V. Where as in 1.09u after the first crash it was like clock work.[/quote] Good to hear!

Thanks for doing this, checking it out now (meanwhile the smart people will check it out in the morning). You look like you are using a custom faction. Could you do me a huge favor and start a new game with a standard sovereign, faction, no custom unit designs, no mods and see if you have the same issue (just because it have been so reproducable for you).

[quote who="Sethai" reply="13" id="2843706"]i get this too; monsters attacking in the early game that it would have been completely impossible to defeat. i like how the monsters work and behave, but this SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. what if that had been someone's first game?[/quote] This was behavior in the beta for a little while. It won't happen with the current beta (now the starting monsters ramp up over the first 25 turns).

Thanks for the crash dumps, they are greatly appreciated. We will take a look at these. Please check out patch "v" if you get a few minutes and let me know if the issues continue.

I loaded your save with patch "u" and I was able to play through without a crash. Incidently we played a 5000 turn game yesterday with no crashes, and Brad had a 2700 turn game going without a crash. So people have been way beyond winter 244.

But it is on my post 1.1 list. Unfortunately it isn't a simple change. When you use a infocard picture the game saves it for 3 turns and then drops it (we don't want to waste the memory holding onto all these images, we will just rebuild again if required).

Reply to 1.09t- Bug? Can't train groups or teams in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Works fine for me in your save. Your selected city doesn't have a war Council, so you cant build any there. But your capital (Tooratol) has a war council and can train groups. Keep in mind that you cant train groups of pioneers so if you have the pioneer selected you cant select group options (which can be a little confusing).

I hear you. It would be easy to allow the public to submit bug reports. We would get tons of bug reports. Some good, some bad, most somewhere between. Sorting through all that info takes time, to much time. Most companies deal with this by having a small private beta team. And even then its uncommon to get responses to individual posts (though a high percentage are read). We have public betas, which means the s
