I don't have debug.errs from the actual issue because it isn't technically crashing, but I have included both of them from the last crash on each account. Screenshots are also included to show the graphical difference between the standard and elevated accounts. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9236139/Elemental.zip

****BACKGROUND INFO & TESTING****This would be the first bug report I have submitted for elemental, but I've seen it persist since beta 3 & the new graphics engine launched. The systems admin in me can no longer hold back the unbridled rage!! :) I have a windows 7 64-bit box running a limited account as it's main. (for limiting exposure to bad things on the web of course) I am fairly certain it is not 64-bit that is the problem, but the limited account as I have duplicated the is

On the sovereign issue: The idea of soveriegn death = game over seems a bit harsh to me. It should definetly be a disadvantage to lose your soveriegn, but losing the game over 1 battle doesn't seem like much fun.

In the games I've played so far, I am always running cash negative because the pop tax isn't enough to cover expenses, and I am unable to decrease research spending levels, or tax the hell out of my population and get them mad at me to get a positive cashflow again... Otherwise they are WRONG because I am having fun with this game already!
