Odd Game Ending

from Elemental Forums

Hi i just fired up elemental for a quick test and had just got into my 20th turn i had built up some houses and researched arcane research, mining and farming and was just about to get a 4th research in civilisation, my sov kicked open a crate and i got a message saying "this is the remains of a caravan that was on route to a distant city, and while the goods contained within are worthless the map of the city is worthwhile" or something like that and the camera tried to focus on something a way off. i clicked the end turn button and the next turn i got "conquest victory" very odd i thought, so i started a new game, and all i got was a white screen with a lot of bugs and artifacts in the UI, like missing graphics and odd things happening while mousing over stuff.

Trolls killed your opponents, and there's a new game bug where old data aren't cleared.

ahh i see, i just tried to replicate it with building and researching exactly the same stuff and nothing untowards happened apart from the AI spamming 5 cities right next to mine and blocking me off. thanks for the reply anyway

To clarify the instant conquest victory is not a bug per se - it won't be reproducible in the sense that a certain set of steps will cause it... it's just the AI sovereigns fighting NPC monsters offscreen and losing, so it happens completely independent of your actions.

The white screen problem is a bug that is separate from the insta-conquest result... it happens when you start a new game up right after another one.
