from
Elemental Forums
1. Start new game.
2. Play a few turns.
3. Press escape.
4. Click Main Menu.
5. Click Skirmish.
6. Continue.
7. 
8. Profit.
Also note that is my invisible imaginary island city, the total population of zero, and that I cannot make any moves. The menus are functional, but nothing else happens.
