cleared all non unit related files from the units folder, deleted all other folders from mygames/elemental on my i7 ati 5850 win7 64bit system
started elemental, created new race man with bows & other attributes
then started a new game on mega map with 10 ai , my custom sov and new race
played to turn 245 when oom during save (failed to allocate 24MB)
added dxdiags & folders to the crash zip
loaded the last save game which was at turn 340 played on untill next oom
added dxdiags & folders to the new crash zip
btw during this game did confirm that bow are working properly, but that daggers/swords are able to hit/kill up to limit of combat movement without moving the unit. I suspect that the ai knows and uses this during the autoresolve.
and when I finish uploading the video of the kill with sword in movement range exploit I will add it to the post I made about it
