Is there an out of memory error popup when it crashes?
Are you using the human or fallen sovereign model?
A full screenshot showing city level, free space, what you're trying to build, etc would be more helpful. There are many factors that go into tile availability.
A savegame to reproduce this would be helpful.
It's an old, known bug. The problem is that the borders expand around your unit, and the game fails to teleport you to the nearest border when you decline war.
The savegame would be helpful to determine just which techs are there (to tell if it's just things being displayed that shouldn't or if you did indeed get research that should be unavailable).
If you're just looking for early play and aren't interested in really beta testing, we generally advise against joining in at this point in development.
Not today.
Both require appropriate resource production structures (mine and farm/apiary/orchard respectively).
[quote]Even if I can't play for now, it would at least be helpful to know why...[/quote] It helps keep everyone on the same page and cut down on duplicate reports. Feedback earlier in a build's life is also more useful than scattered reports from latecomers as the internal build will rapidly diverge from the public one as time goes on.
[quote]In contrast, I got 75 points for a thread that got 2,000 views and about 150 replies on the B12G forums. I mean, the point of it is a viral marketing campaign, right?[/quote] You started the thread prior to the contest, and there was already one on that forum previously. So while it's good to discuss the game out and about (obviously, since you did get points), most of the people there have probably already heard of it. By contrast, someone out spending time, gas, etc i
Yes, there are currently some bugs involving champion parties or level modifiers not being accounted for in the asked price.
This is fixed internally.
[quote]PBEM essentially is hotseat, only that you send a savegame to your friend instead of him sitting beside you.[/quote] Not really. I expect PBEM would basically be handled as async client-server (manual save handoffs via email would require internet anyway and just adds a cumbersome extra step). You log on, do your turn, toggle ready-up for the turn to advance, and come back later. Once the wrinkles are worked out in that, then we could look into hotseat since a little bit of tha
[quote]Frogboy mentioned that the pre-orders were remaining open until Monday. [/quote] Last Monday (14), not this Monday (21). We wound up extending it until last Friday (18), at which point it was closed following the release of the Beta 2A update.
You'll be able to do that if you like, though as it'd basically be a mod I'm not sure how it'd play out against data integrity checks for rated multiplayer.
Hotseat actually requires as much or more work than standard multiplayer, as you've got to account for differences in diplomacy, combat resolution, switching which faction the player is controlling on the fly, etc. And there are fewer people who would use it compared to standard multiplayer (even more so since as others have said, we typically allow multiple installations in the buyer's home).
Roundup updated.
The distance you can build from the city center is limited by the city's level.
[quote]However, if you just choose to build a city (without reviving the land) it only costs 1 essence. [/quote] It actually does deduct 3, IIRC, the popup is just wrong.
Do you have a save that this can be reproduced from?

City walls can break if you leave gaps or holes in your city layout (known issue).
There were some server issues over Saturday night-Sunday morning. Does it work now?
Neutral factions/cities are in but disabled in the beta.
