Crash bug / Reclaim Site
« on: November 18, 2007, 12:35:00 pm »

Well, i donŽt have the save data here, because i was using a friendŽs pc to play.
Anyways, iŽll give you guys as much details i can while i try to get the saved data.

I started a game in a area with a CHASM, a CAVE and a VOLCANO, and all pretty close to each other. There are kobolds and many itens in the cave, near the chasm there are A LOT of enemies and in the volcano, the volcano creatures.
My "fortres" died shortly because of the troglodytes and antmens. HereŽs where it starts to get strange
When i went to reclaim the fortress, the game offered me... 32 dwarves!
I went on to reclaim the fortress and well, i had some map problems and i gave up. ANyways, went again, and the game offered me 70(!) dwarves.
The game then loads, and crashes after a while.

IŽll try to get the save here so you guys can analyse it.
Game version: current

If i left anything here unanswered, iŽll gladly answer those questions. Please bear with me that this is my first real post in the forums, and my first bug report for this game.

Jsut ask out anything, and iŽll try to supply you guys with information.

Cheers, Edward

Offloading units doesn't mean dwarfs... it seems that some (but not all) animals/hostile creatures count as units that it'll offload on abandon. I've had forts of 100 dwarfs offload 250 units.

If you have a save that crashes in 33b, I can probably figure out why.  Otherwise, it's very difficult to solve these kinds of bugs.
