Greetings everyone,
I've recently been getting back into this game (one of my favorites from when I was a kid) and I am noticing on my 64-bit Windows 10 gaming laptop that if I move a unit into the northern most row of tiles, or southern most row of tiles--or if the AI does the same, the game crashes as soon as that unit attempts to move again.
This is forcing me to declare war on someone who I don't wish to fight right now because I see one of his units on one of the offending tiles, and as soon as the screen pans to his unit, the game crashes. I know this is the reason because I had to perform a trick to prevent the game crashing earlier when my units visited the north (instead of manually moving the unit, I had to order it to a base and it'd go there on it's own).
Very curious bug. Is there a solution to this? Thanks.
Edit: Giving it some thought, could this be because I made a 200 x 400 map to play on? I know the game warns you of "slow downs" if you do this, but I ignored that warning since it is a 16 year old game and it's running on a beast of a computer...
