Granted, this is a beta. But some people seem able to play the game as if it were finished. I, however, am not one of them. I get CTDs EVERY time I play. I've tried Romani, Bactria, Seleukids, Hellenes, and a bunch in between, most recently Getai (sp). I try the infamous, "move your agents around" fix, I try to do things differently. But I can never take a city. Ever. If I try, either the enemy sallies forth and I get a CTD, or I get a CTD when I assault it. It doesn't matter if I lift the seige and come back, or go to another city, nothing works.

If I fight in the open, I'm usually okay. It seems to be just assaults/sally. I can build and build; the game works great...unless I try to take a city. What's worse, is that the game has such promise, the chronic CTDs are frustrating because I'm totally missing out on a big aspect of the game.

I just hope you folks rectify as many of the problems as possible. I don't like to complain because I know you are all working for free, so I usually take what I can get in that regard. Additionally, I rarely play EB because of the CTDs; I just fired it up again because I was hoping it would work a little more smoothly. I'm sure you've got a ton of diligent beta testers that can provide you with all the feedback you need; sadly, I'm not one of them. But I am a fan. If my above post helps you in some way, great. If not, then that's fine too.

Thanks for listening.
