i had this last night,i guess it was horrid luck.

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.
