Oh man, I know I'm beating a dead horse here but ran a new game and Capitar died again...turn 13. Random large map, testing a mod. All the tests above were done with mods turned off so mods are not causing this. He refuses to found his capital oftentimes leading to untimely deaths.

1.19n example: Just took Tarth's capital over and the tile just east of the city center is a grassland land. Can't build on it. Why? Zip (debug, save) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/119n_UDFv01i_tilebuildproblem.zip &nbs

I was lucky to figure out MS Paint to edit the map images for the AI testing, rofl.

Here's what I have as the properties of my shortcut and it works fine (use it to view all map and cycle turns for AI testing): "C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Elemental\Elemental.exe" - cheat So just putting "- cheat" on the end should work for wherever you have the game installed I think.

Hi Sam - you are running 1.11, correct? I think this particular bug was fixed in the 1.19 series of betas...so the 1.2 version should fix this when released (or if you elect to upgrade to the beta series).

[quote who="EternalRequiem" reply="73" id="2928547"]again AlLanMandragoran thanks for the contributions your making in trying to pin stuff down for the Developers to work on and fix, you might just be helping them make the game a whole lot better in the long run.

Wait until the Paparazzi report on what you eat for lunch!

I did a few more analysis of the pop locks in this thread since my initial earlier reply: https://forums.elementalgame.com/407995 Short story: all Kingdom Factions with the exception of Altar seem to have pop lock issues, some way more serious than others. Most of Empires seems ok. The starting location seems to have nothing to do with whether a faction pop locks - it seems to be in the AI code, especially for Kingdoms. [e dig

3rd! The number 3 rocks.

Ok so here is my doctorate research. I started a new game using the vanilla MEDIUM map Colaxi. I wanted to see if the previous map itself or size of the map affected results. I reduced the # of games from 10 to 5 but still did two rounds. In short all of the Kingdom factions are messed up with the exception of Altar. Kraxis needs a peek. Please note I cycled turns until 36, saved, and recorded results. Here is the map and the locations noted: <img src="http://dl.dropbox.c

I believe if you edit the champion's card and just save it (without changing anything), it will refresh the icons - I think. Not ideal, but I believe a workaround instead of restarting the game.

1.19n CTD. In cartographer, played around with a map, closed it. Reloaded cartographer, crash. Zip (debug and dump) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/119n_ctd_cartographer1.zip

1.19n issue. Speak of the devil, just started a brand new ridiculous game on random large vanilla map and Capitar died to monsters and ruffians on turn 10. I guarantee this is from not founding his capital - he seems to have a serious problem with this now and then. ARGH!

Ok so here is my college thesis. I started a new game, same map but only changed the following: switched Pariden with Yithril (now testing Pariden and playing as Yithril) and the starting locations are different. Ran 10 games with new baseline save: Baseline save - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/119n_POPLOCKTESTBASELINE2_1.EleSav Here is the map I'm using. It&#

Ok so as I watched reruns of Gilligan's Island I decided to run games 11-20 using the same baseline save as the first 10. I assigned each starting location a # to see if there is consistency across future tests. Below are the results: Neither Kraxis or Capitar experienced further pop locks in 11-20. Their overall % dropped from 20% to 10%. Howeve

Removed - double post.

1.19 CTD: Ran an AI test, completed, went back to main menu. Entered cartographer, played around with a map, closed it without saving the map, reentered cartographer and CTD. I went to check on the dump and for some reason there was a rash of dumps in there over about a half hour period: Zip (debug, all the dumps) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119n/119n_CTD_cartographer.zip.zip<

[quote who="mywhiskey" reply="4" id="2927479"]It was a reload from within a game. There was a time where you got an instant crash from 1 reload so they have made some improvement. I agree, this isn't as big an issue as the other oom's.[/quote] Egad, instant crash from a reload... not good.

Looks like Relias picked a bad day to quit amphetamines.

Arrgh, hot diggidy dawg, another 1.19DX error! Same thing, moving around on cloth map. Something is wrong with this map I think. I remember many patches ago playing a game on this map in this exact location and also got crashes galore.

Frogboy's been busy and blaming it on Relias:

1.19n issue. I renamed Relias to Frogboy at the start of the game (this is now turn 92). However, at the birth screen the game announced Relias was the father. I am playtesting a mod so unsure if that caused it or if it's an issue with the vanilla game. Maury Povich demands a paternity test for Frogboy!
