Update to the Turn Button going Grey.
Last game, I played until the first instance of the "Grey Plague" hit. I was Zoomed into the Map roughly 3/4. I zoomed out to perhaps 1/4 and noticed peripheral movement, the AI's turn, and then the the "Grey Plague" ended. Upon Zooming back in, in roughly 5-7 more Turns, the "Grey Plague" returned.
"AHAA! I have you now "Grey Plague". I muttered. Promptly Zoomed out and once again AI movement returned the button to me. A few more turns and the "Grey Plague" returned. No worries, I have it in the bag... Zoom out and.. and... arrghhhh!
Game Over. A short wait in the Task Manager, switch the instance from running to not responding. End Now. Thought we had it pegged. Damn.
Next game, same thing transpired, but this time I had only 2 AI's running, had killed one, and assimilated most of the local hero's so AI movement was minimal. Then the "Grey Plague" hit. Zoomed out, nada. Foiled once again. The "Grey Plague" had apparently mutated but then I noticed something strange.
The Left hand Icon list of Town(s), assimilated Hero's and Sov had a new Icon. My wifes. I double tapped her and the Map auto-scrolled out to no-mans land to find her. I then issued her a move order and the "Grey Plague" was once again gone.
Sadly, with her move completed, the very next round found the "Grey Plague" back and no Zoom or attempt to move the Queen would placate the beast. C-A-D to once again watch the seesion go from running to not responding.
