[Groundworm]

First off, let me add my voice of thanks to the others, llamabeast. Your personal attention into a game that you had no prior involvement in is greatly appreciated.

That being said, this new turn is an absolute disaster for me. I had somewhat drastically changed my scripted orders in the turn immediately prior to that battle to include key spells. Since the turns I submitted never actually took place due to the repeated stales, my new orders were never submitted. This resulted in drastic casualties amongst my forces that were largely preventable. Furthermore, I specifically chose province 70 because it had the largest concentration of Pangaea's forces. If I had wanted to attack a lesser force, I would have changed orders and force composition, and (most importantly) spent fewer gems.

In sum: as it stands, the battle I just fought cost me far too many troops and mages, spent far too many of my limited gems, and gained me far too little.

If we want to continue because further troubleshooting of this issue is too troublesome, I will understand and make the best of what I have left. But while the current solution solves the crashing problem, it leaves me much worse off.
