Bugs:

"You won the game" thing noted last version is definitely caused by having no non-warlord AIs on the map, or at least all wizard ones.

Auto-buy from the market appears to not be consuming any resources it buys. It'll take the stated gold, but the building's resource cost will not be consumed and any resources bought will remain in your resource pile.

Gold cost for auto-buy from market when building appears to be only asking for the cost of a single unit of one of (seemingly chosen at random?) the resources involved. Further testing shows it's actually consuming the gold cost of one of each type of resource bought. Other than those two bits, it seems to be working quite well.

Game killing error, log below*, continuing did nothing (next turn button wouldn't work, as usual).

Error during world gen, log below**, continuing did nothing, generation stalled at analyzing geography. If it helps any, settings were medium/frequent/old/scattered/primeval/pervasive/high/very high/exotic races/varied, with three very easy warlord AIs and choosing Earthen King for wizard. Using the same settings a second time didn't cause the error to repeat.

Game killing error, log below***, continuing did nothing (next turn button wouldn't work, heh). Seems to be another example of the first one, and checking the last version's error log thingy, looks like it may be related to the second one from the last post.

Wizard tower expansions that can't complete appear to not be giving a message to that effect, now.

Upgrading a burial ground to a cemetery seems to delete the burial ground in the process, leading you to be able to rebuild it afterwards. None of the other upgrading buildings has this behavior, near as I can tell.

Silly minor, but ectoplasm is generally spelled without an e at the end in english.

Suggestions:

It'd be really nice to be able to save your world generation settings, if that's not already planned.

It'd also be really nice to be able to scroll the event log. Three or four cities with associated building messages, or a large number of followers doing dungeon diving can fill the entire list up very easily. Alternately (or, perhaps, as well), perhaps consider grouping similar events? All follower recovery messages in one box, all construction in another, etc.

Rather imagine it's planned, but some way of grouping/rearranging/etc. followers would be... very nice. If you conquer a few cities, it seems like you end up getting a lot of followers,**** which makes managing the list somewhat clumsy (since you have to scroll around a lot, etc.). Not necessarily parties, but having them grouped by martial/artisan/etc., that sort of thing. Possibly even some kind of filter option in the (probably distant, it's not exactly a big issue) future, so you can see only your elves, or bankers, or whathaveyou.

Other:

****... incidentally, if you conquer a few cities early, you end up with quite a lot of followers in very short order. A crusader start that immediately jumped three nearby cities within the first ~5 turns has ended up with 18 followers by turn 21, as an example. Not sure if that needs to be tweaked, or if it'll be more manageable and whatnot when party mechanics and so on get implemented.

Bugs/suggestions/etc.

Bugs:

Assigning emissaries changes the text in the follower screen to "Emissaries can perform many tasks: of diplomatic, mercantile or more nefarious purpose
(Olabode is currently assigned to )." Minor bug is the "to )." bit. Something similar happens when you assign a follower to explore a province (which doesn't seem to do anything, by the by, which may be known).

Emmissary tasks also seem to not be registering who's assigned to them properly -- their "currently assigned" lists appear to always be empty. Assignment also doesn't register in follower details. Emissaries do appear to do their job, it's just not being reported properly.

... turn 2, I get the message "You have won the game!" This continues for every subsequent turn ;_; -- tentative: This seems to be either because I set all the AI to wizards or becaues I set the racial templating (or whatever that is) to "No templates". Later game suggests it's not due to the "No templates", though I didn't get around to trying another all-wizard AIs game to see if that was causing it.

Not sure if intentional, but Lesser Nature Magic gives the Lesser Mark of Ice along with the lesser mark of nature.

Researched enabled critters appear to not be working, which may or may not be a known thing. You research them, then the regiment type does not appear for recruitment (or regiment creation). Actually, a couple games later I notice this seems to work for skeletons, but absolutely nothing else, heh.

Combat window hung, had to close it, which stopped the game from continuing.

Duel's message was "GameModel.Character, emissary in Sorawia, ended up in a duel due to romance, stupidity or bad luck." Which, uh. Follower's name wasn't actually GameModel.Character

Wizard tower expansions appear to double-tap on resource costs? Ferex, started building underground tunnels, it cost me 10 gold, 10 lumber. 12 turns later, I get a message saying construction failed due to insufficient resources. Two turns later, I get sufficient resources back and it completes. Paying attention, though, it doesn't double-tap on the resource cost, it just refuses to finish if you don't have sufficient resources to build the expansion again. Doesn't consume the cost a second time, but it fails to complete if the cost isn't there. Perhaps importantly, the message given is that the expansion failed to start building, despite the fact that it was finishing.

Suggestions: Clicking on wandering monster type messages could maybe focus on them on the map? If you can see 'em, anyway.

Questions:Is auto-resolving combat supposed to be an all or nothing thing, currently? Seems to always end up with one side winning unscratched and the other being completely destroyed. Not a critique or anything, just making sure that's working as intended with the system currently in place, heh.
