Fixed for next patch. In the meantime linux users will have to set resolution via command line switches.

I agree your workaround made sense in the game we were in, but I think generally people should just have everyone sit still for a turn so it can sort itself out.

True, I can see that, and I agree with you. At the time, it was unclear if there would be unforeseen repercussions that would ruin the game later on, though, as people claimed happened with similar scenarios (I forgot what those were) in other games, so I'm still happy that time was spent on this, that the problem and its effects were understood. When I'm administrating, I'm trying to make painstakingly sure that things don't drive into a wall.

Johan K:

Would it be possible to disable retreat at all from assassination battles? One extremely annoying thing, to lose your guy without having a chance to fight. I'm sure people would love you even more if that thing got fixed

Here's an oddity: I had a dead Celestial Master in the HoF, so I cast Ritual of Rebirth for the undead mage/priest goodness and got what looks for all the world like a mummified Caelian back.

The game tries to quess the body type from several characteristics. Flying units are brought back as winged mummies, big units (size 4+) are brought back as giant mummies, cold-blooded might be brought back as C'tis lizard mummies, etc.
