i can make my game crash on command

[Jahi]

its lots of fun.

it appears to be something with the map.

the game will crash if i do the following:

undercover the piece of land SE of paris. (the dark strip)

now how i uncover this land doesn't matter.. the game can crash if i do a recon, drive a unit over there, sail a ship by, or trade maps with anyone who has that piece filled in on their map.

i'm running win xp fully patched as of 11/12/01 on a dell latitude laptop 1 gig, 512 mb ram 1600x1200 res geforce 2.

the save is a touch to big to post. i'm playing on a 256x256 auto generated map.

leave a message here and i can email the save game ziped.

Thar be dragons, Jahi. Stay away fron that tile!

I've had similar problems, and I've read some others have as well. I think it may be related to the 256x256. Have you made any other changes to the rules?

[Jahi]

i made a few changes just tinkering around.

changes i made:

imported my old cities.txt (from civ 2 TOT)

changed the default # of cities per map

changed the map generator to make 256x256 maps

and i think thats it. i'll send that file off here later today.
