    Well said. I played round with a coastal map in the editor, and I think if I remember correctly that introducing a feature (in this case a town) caused one of these squares to appear on the coastline next to it - though you may have to experiment to verify this.

    You are quite correct, and I've stated as much before. If people would use the editor, they would easily see just what causes this bug. It has nothing to do with game crashes.

    Also, I never had a game crash in a shoreline battle, or any battle, before the patch (back when there were no shoreline squares) or after the patch. All of my many crashes happen on the campaign map. So the shoreline squares aren't there to fix crashes caused by normal shorelines, because normal shorelines did not cause crashes.

    For the final time, I recommend playing around with the editor for ten minutes. You will see what causes the bug. They introduced it when they gave us wonders, ports, and ships on the battle map, and I wish that they would revert it to the old. Who wants to see a wonder once every three hundred battles when the rest of those battles are riddled with shoreline squares?

    The absence of CA quotes on anything these days is quite pervasive, so I don't think you'll be in luck with finding that kind of proof.
    But the burden of proof is upon those who claim it to be a hotfix to prove that its a hotfix and not simply a bug introduced when enabling wonders and other features to be visible in neighbouring squares on the battle map.
    In the absence of proof of hotfix this is a bug.
    And frankly even if it is a hotfix, that implies a patch or free service pack to properly fix it.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    Erm, I never said it wasn't (and downright ugly to look at too). I was merely trying to point at what caused it based on the info I gathered earlier.
    Cheers,

    edit: In case I wasn't clear enough: my opinion is that they tried to fix something, but broke something else in the process.

    It's also great fun when you see a fleet of ships sitting on the square-shaped land.

    I am pleasantly surprised to see that there are people who agree with me on this issue. I was beginning to wonder if the fanatically loyalistic, automaton-like disagreement I usually get in response to this complaint were actually a normal reaction to this sort of thing among gamers.
