Norfleet - I am playing Caelum in Pascentiful and assuming you moved that Horde into the Iron Hills (I think that's the name - the province you assaulted the Last two turns) we were going to have a pretty huge battle with a *LOT LOT LOT* of battle magic being thrown around...any chance that is the cause?

Other than that I was not throwing any unusual spells - just doing a whole lot of troop movements...

Boy this really sucks - I was really looking forward to seeing that battle go down - win or lose it was going to be cool to watch...bummer. Assuming, of course, that you went there

Further detail on this - if you did move anybody into the Iron Hills I brought along a Staff of Storms and had a lot of mages summoning storm power which is something I don't usually do - is there any history of that spell or that item causing issues in battles?

Other than that the spells were pretty standard - Banish, Thuderstrike (x a bunch ), Orb Lightings, Lightings, More Orb Lightnings...

Unfortunately if we experiment here I'd like us both to avoid combat this turn since if I fight that horde I want to do it at full power - if I start experimenting and we have a big battle I am concerned that I will get...well let's just say an unpleasant result (for me).

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

That shouldn't have been the cause, since I tried cancelling that order, with no effect: It's apparently caused by some other nation. If I could get a debug dump somewhere, I could probably isolate this. Otherwise, the game is still up, and if anyone would like to try changing any potentially questionable orders, you can do that: I'll periodically attempt to get it to host and see if it crashes.

I am only making one attack this turn... though it is a potential candidate for a hang since it is a large underwater fight. Though a larger one I had two turns ago showed no problems.

how do I pull my .2h so as to be able to mod my completed orders? (i.e. avoid instahost on restart)

Nope. Ain't you either. Good news is that you can continue your attack, anyway.

Is anyone casting a wonky, rarely cast global, like Haunted Forest? Haunted Forest has caused molestations of the dead in other games before, which results in the nagot-on-host.
