Just happened to bump into this. I can't join myself due to other projects (and this game also seems to be on the wrong forum for me

), but I wish you guys well, this seems like a intresting idea.
But I'm posting about the map. It seems that you are using the map for Legendary Ordeals 2? I just wanted to let you guys know that I've updated that map (removed some extra connections, fixed a horribly bugged indy defenders in one province and fixed a lot terrain). You can download the fixed map from my GM guide
here. Also if you don't use a GM, you probably should eliminate all the special sites from the central and outer provinces and the custom defenders. They won't be balanced without someone scripting the defense.
Marmaduke, about your crash. Did you play with random opponents? The map has just 2 legal starts for UW players, if your game went over that due to the random nations rolling into underwater nations, that could crash the game.
