and a THIRD application crash attempting to access memory just after killing verga for the second time
had loaded elemental, loaded the last save at turn 191, played on killing the settler just outside the town I had just captured, then going on and attacking yithril's last known town, killing all five defenders, added some buildings to te town, added fresh units to the train queue, waited till the first unit was trained, then went out to hunt monsters & ruffians and verga(verga was approaching thetow I had just captured and had a health of 10/62 (both of the last crashes) attacked verga first time it wanted to fight, the second it ran away, but both times I killed it the first time with an arcane arrow, the second time with a basic bow attack
zip file created, added dxdiag & saves
interesting how killing ONE ai can kill the game engine in this version
