The game is significantly more stable. Several more games and no crash Roads work as intended, the bug with mouse is still annoying (it doesn't click where you want it to click), but all-in-all i'm getting some fun 

Sorry, fun was specifically verboten in the beta.  You'll have to be kicked out.

Really ? Oh well I meant "all in all i'm getting some fun-ny bugs" ..

After tooling around the screen for about 30 minutes, Screen goes blank and I get dialog box say my display driver is no longer working. Has happened all 3 times I have played.

I have XP SP2

Yay patch! I'm a day late though

Still can't wait for the next phase

From now, i've played a lot of game... maybe 15 and just have finish two... 1 Win and 1 Lost... For the other games it's always a Crash to Desktop ...

Today I've install the patch 0.23 and "surprise" I click on a spider and... crash to Desktop.... another Ticket number for me

Er... why? Wouldn't a player with the highest prestige already be in the lead?

No, because buildings that increase prestige are not the houses which give you the best benefit to population growth.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm in the beta, but haven't bothered to play enough to know what pretige does. Thought it was similar to the "fame" score from MoM.

My game still locks up when i've been playing about 30 min.  Right when I end turn.  Otherwise getting better.  But the popultion bonus is the same for all house types right?

Like I pointed out in the schedule thread, they need to average an update every two weeks to release in August 2010. (actually a little faster than two weeks)

Is the update intended to fix the crash where the cloth map appears for half a second and then CTD?

I can get into the title screen and set up a new game, the generating world dialog appears, then I see the faintest flash of a cloth map and then CTD.  So tantalizing . . .      I know that this crash has been reported many times, but I just wasn't sure if it was supposed to be fixed now or not in version 0.23.

Keep up the great work, guys . . . I'm excited that the beta is finally out.  Even just the title screen is better than nothing at all!

I haven't had any issues running the game, but I do get a little bored since my towns always hit level 3 or so and then stop growing, no matter what buildings I've placed. Is it supposed to do that?

Oh, I will point out that building things to a city never seem to work right. They always lose the grid and start to just build in one direction, kind of weird.

I had the same problem as Einlanzerous. I also had a problem where, after one of my guard units died, pressing the Tab key would switch between only the dead unit (which was apparently in one corner of the map now, albeit dead and uncontrollable and still in the fog of war) and my Sovereign, despite the fact that I had several cities and other units.
