Stuck in a game

[SlipperyJim]

After several false starts, I got a good game going as Senator Santorum of the Empire. I whupped some lousy Demonologist and a whole pile of independents. My dominance is unchallenged!

Um, except ... there's still one AI player hiding out there ... somewhere ... and I can't find the bugger. I have explored everywhere from sea to shining sea, and I have not been able to find any sign of my sole remaining adversary.

There are some rivers on the map. Could he be hiding behind the rivers? I don't know, because I can't seem to cross the rivers! Is there a bridge-building unit of some kind? An amphibious unit? What am I missing?

A saved game is attached. Any advice would be very welcome!

Meanwhile, I'll continue my new game as Cardinal Torquemada.

EDIT: Hmmm ... attachment didn't work. If you're interested, get the save from my Google pages.

You can cheat by using shift-C to view the whole map. It also gives you extra action points.

Dang, that was fast! Thanks, Johan. I'll try the cheat.

[SlipperyJim]

Why, look at that! There's the silly bugger, hiding on an island in the southeastern corner of the map.



Any suggestions as to how I can reach that island to apply some serious smiting? Amphibious landing vehicles? Paratroopers? Orbital Mind Control Lasers?

A shaman could have taken him with spirit attacks. But you are not a shaman.

What? We don't need that silly superstition in the modern, enlightened Empire!

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll follow in the footsteps of Senators throughout history and simply declare myself the winner. Enjoy your island retreat, elf-boy!

So what are your options when this happens besides just qutting? Is there a method to reach these islands? Is there a cheat I can use to kill the AI? Is this a bug or is it normal?

[Kristoffer O]

It's highly unlikely, but as evidence shows, possible. There is nothing you can do.

Good to hear it's rare... it happened to me on my first game last night as a Necromancer. Think raising the dead makes you insane? Try scouring the map for an hour and a half in confusion!
