Try taking him out again on your next turn. Maybe whatever the problem was will not occur again. |

2254 --> Ashman I took out Svensgaard again, achieved a cooperative victory again, and the game crashed again, this time error 2. I replayed the turn. First I broke the pact with the Drones, took out Svensgaard, did not achieve a cooperative victory, but the game did not crash.The imposter Svensgaard is gone and now it is every man for himself. Good hunting. |

Have you reduced the credits.txt file? There was this one bug that made the game crash when you win... |

Use Simple Text and delete the "PC beta-testers" credits from the SMAX credits.txt file. That should solve the crash problem. |

Killjoy, the credits.txt file in smax contains two lists of beta testers which appear to be identical, but neither of them is labeled "PC beta testers". Am I warm? |

just delete any lines out of credits.txt, it is just too long for SMAX to display it. Brad mentioned deleting the PC beta testers since they dont really "count" for the mac version, but if you dont find them, take anyone put your own text into the file, mayb esome chapter from the bible or whatever  |

Rue: I deleted the second list of beta-testers. Once deleted, re-save the file, and presto! You should now be able to complete the game without crashing. Good Luck! |

Illiria, Killjoy, thank you for your instructions. The job is done; however, since I played around the crash, winning at this point of the game is no longer an issue. How's that for bitter irony? |

2259 --> Ashrules explanation request I have not been able to find an answer to the following question in the manual. I have some cites off the west shore ot the mainland occupied by Ash. Part of the zone of control of each of these cities lies on the land. Throughout the game, I've been careful to occupy resource squares with workers. These squares also lie outside the zone of control of Ash's cities. Why do I find now, that I no longer have access to these squares? |

2260 --> AshmanPerhaps. But that would mean the former I had on shore could not see them either, nor the ship that removed the former which no longer had a purpose. Very interesting. I will do a fly-by to take pictures of your fleet of supply crawlers if for no other reason that for we pirates a fleet on land, of supply crawlers no less, will be a curiosity. |

Can anyone explain this? I just received the latest turn 2272 from Illiria. However, the moves I made in the previous turn were unexecuted. The tech that I finished developing last turn has just been finished again this turn. The diplomatic agreement made last turn has been offered again this turn. It's as if the last turn never happened. I closed the turn to make sure, I was playing the correct turn, too. And I was. I'm not playing this turn until we confer. So, what do you think?

Upon further contemplation, I believe the turn sent to me is the last one I played. I say this because I remember getting the warning that I had already played the turn. Perhaps It has been mistakenly renamed and sent along as a new turn. |

All this pirate wants is a little island somewhere to retire to (and no Elba business either) and freedom to sail the seas in the Jolly Roger and shake down the occasional cruise ship. |
