strange demo behavior

[Makinus]

I´m playing the Dominions 2 Demo and something strange is happening since the game randomly ends my game with the message that my pretender was died and no provinces are left where i still have several provinces and my pretender is still alive and well..

I understand that the demo have some kind of turn limit (100 turns?) but this happens randomly, sometimes it happened after my 6th or 7th turn and other times it goes 30+ turns until the message posp up...

I tried reinstalling and in different computers and the same keeps happening...

any ideas?
