[.295][BUG] Starting location being completely surrounded by mountains

from Elemental Forums

I meant to take a screenshot of this, but I accidently copied the map seed to my clipboard while I had not pasted the screenshot in paint yet... My bad.

Anyway, in a map with random map seed 1268393412 I found myself in a starting position surrounded completely by mountains. I could walk around in this tiny little valey but actually leaving the valley was not possible.

The game will take it's own screenshots and put them in "my games/elemental/screenshots".  All you have to do is press the screenshot button.

You can even change the image format of your screenshots if you want, in the options screen.

I agree that it's maddening how often this happens in the current beta.  It makes the testing a little more difficult because in that game you can only test crashes that are caused without enemy interaction.

I've been thinking that this issue might not be a problem in the final version, though.  If there are any floating (or flying) transports or element-less spells that can translocate the sovereign across mountains or over seas, it would be a mere temporary setback.
