Hi nokhor

The original version was very unstable there was however 2 patches that were released by the developers before the company crashed. One was a European version (3.14) the other was US version (3.22). I found that using the two patches together helped make the game more stable and lowered the frequency of crashing on the campaign map.

One thing about the battles - the enemy army did deploy, but you had to wait for a while until they send out a scout to look for you, if you let the scout return the the enemy lines unharmed the enemy would soon attack. Many people believed that there was only one army because of this.

If you would like I can try and get a link for the patches.
