[.295][Bug] Teleport of Sovergn into the mountains

from Elemental Forums

After I had created my first city and was exploring with my sovergn, I ran into another civilization.  When I got the diplomacy screen, it allowed me to select something like "Leave Enemy Territory" or "Declare War".  So I selected the Declare War option, and then my sovergn is teleported.  First, I don't think I should have been moved given that I said to Declare War.  Second, the teleport put me directly on a mountain square.

Side Note:  I did install Jing as was recommended in the bug thread and was going to take a picture, but after Alt-Tabbing out of the app and trying to Alt-Tab back it wouldn't load (I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit Home Ed if that helps).  Next time I'll be ready to take a screen pic.

Jing works fine if you play in windowed mode rather than fullscreen - until the alt-tab bug is fixed you might want to consider that - you can select windowed mode with a resolution the same size as your desktop if you want.  Also, if you hit the print screen key while in Elemental, it saves a screen shot for you and you can use the options menu to select the format.  Unfortunately I can't remember what folder the screenshot goes into, and since my laptop crashed I don't have a machine that I can play Elemental on to figure it out (hopefully to be rectified soon).  As a third option, you can set up Jing to do a screen capture with a hot key (I was using control-j) and I think that probably works with Elemental in fullscreen, although again I can't try that out to see if it works. 

I hope that one or more of these suggestions helps you out.

Thx for the note, everything seems to run fine in Windowed mode and Jing can take pics without blanking out Elemental.  Good luck getting a new machine.

Windows 7 "print screen" button drops the file into documents/my games/elemental/screenshots.   Works pretty good so far.

The king  isnt actaly gone, he is still where you left him, only the graphic has moved, if you head back to where he should be, you can move down there and everythign is fine, at lest it has been for me.
