AWESOME. This is a smart balance choice, thank you.

Yes, our developers spent a lot of time on hang fixes.  The community has been awesome at providing saves, and we have fixed every reproduceable save we have gotten.  But if anyone has additional saves that have the issue, I'd love to get them so we can prove that the fixes we have take care of it, or fix them too if they are new.

I take it this only means games played when modding is off or is not using custom Mods or core folder files?  I do play modded bigger than normal maps though, so I suppose you don't want that.  I do find that the most likely time to crash is new turn time when one of your cities is just finishing a production and/or a message dialog comes up, especially when you have had the same gaming session open for a long time.

Are you considering any of the recent feature requests, such as notifications of boasting of AI players when they down a Wildland boss or special powerful event monster, or the ability to set restrictions on what one-use usable items may be used by a particular player/champion?  Hopefully they would be relatively easy because they expand existing features (informational notification messages, and item prereqs which already exist and work for equippable items) rather than adding completely new features.

Yeah, what StevenAus said....

Yeah, they would have to be unmodded game to be of interest to us.

And yes, I do consider them, but don't expect that means that a large percent of those sorts of requests are going to go in.  If they are significantly cool, simple to implement and have a low chance of causing issues then I'm all for them.  Unfortunately it's fairly rare that those three things come together.

I wonder if those conditional relations bonuses will produce oscillations

What about autosave issue? If monster attack my troops or cities, and I don't like the results of battle, loading autosave make the monster never attack me. It's good way for cheating and annoying if you just want to replay the battle.

Also if in that turn when I load autosave there is an end of training unit - this unit just desappear, as if never being trained.

Also would be good to make fast save button in the screen of battle (when you choose battle\autobattle\cancel).

I always forget, how awesome you guys are

Here is a savegame with debug file. The save crashes (freezes) for me on the very next turn. I have all the drivers etc. updated to the latest.

Good luck!

The autosave issue is... an issue? --> As to not getting the trained unit, it's a sort of trade-off for being able to avoid a fight  

Well, you know, I hate cheating. But human nature is so weak((( So, when situation is critical, I reload, avoid battle and then few hours have a terrible feeling - like if I ruined the whole game. Could I resolve the problem using only game's possibilities? Or my mistake was fatal? We'll never know.

Thanks for CNTRL+S tip

I give me myself one reload for example, if I let the AI attack a weakly defended city.  But I still prefer to play the game only reloading if I have a crash and the most recently saved game is not current.  I figure that if it crashes, I can do what I like when I reload the game because I didn't choose it to crash at that time.

Human nature is misunderstood.  It has the potential for great good or bad.  It's good if you can avoid your ego getting involved too much - I'd much rather finish a game (or stop it at a certain time when it's becoming a drag), never having reloaded apart from crashes.

What was the motivation for this change?  To make it even more likely that captured cities would be razed (perhaps the AI was having trouble knowing when enough cities is enough?)

I didn't hear anyone complaining about this, at least in these forums...

This might be in response to a very particular play tactic. Conquer city cast sacrifice city population (get 1/2 the population as mana), raze city. Thus, one could just snowball the conquer effect especially when one conquers an enemy city, using this tactic. (All speculation, since no reason was actually given)

My assumption is that it is to make attacking the AI less powerful in general, and less powerful on high difficulty levels in particular. I was getting hundreds of mana by Sacrificing AI city population, which seem to grow ridiculously fast on high difficulty levels.

One slightly quirky effect is that it's much better to capture an AI city one turn after it goes up a city level than one turn before. You may never get it to level 5 from level 4 if it's just lost 75% of its population.

The effect for the way I play as a Death faction is that I'll still Sacrifice the entire population of any level 5 city I capture from the AI, I'll just a lot less mana for it.

Incidentally I don't Raze the AI city after I've Sacrificed the population. If it's got to level 5 it's almost certainly got enough cool buildings to be worth keeping. A Conclave with 2 Essence with Produce Mana and Meditation would be worth 4 mana + 3 mana from population growth a turn. A Town with Slums and a Festival I believe could produce +12 Growth, all of which can be Sacrificed.

Produce gold and produce mana may also be worthwhile, depending on the Essence and gold producing buildings situation.
