My save got corrupted

[Eneru112]

over 200 turns of domination as the Naggaroth dark elves, and my save gets corrupted. Whenever I load the game, it crashes.

No reason to play this anymore I guess. I like long campaigns and this mod clearly doesn't provide that.

[Carl Jung was right]

Wait, you mean to tell us that you played 200 turns with only one save? If so don't blame the mod for something going wrong.

And what's wrong with that? I have over 500 in third age right now as lorien elves.

CoW is essentially a heavily in-beta mod that adds a ton of scripts, models and features that the original game engine isn't really programmed to handle well. That's why you can expect anything to happen.

Tatw is a very stable mod compared to CoW 1.5 because it had a lot more years of programming and bugtesting going into it and a much larger dev team, not to mention it's not nearly as ambitious in scope.

When playtesting any unfinished mod, it's basic common sense to have as many separate saves as possible. In its current release CoW is fairly playable, but you can't expect to run it on a single save, something even the devs stressed.

Might we ask out of curiosity, what were you doing in the game prior to the save corruption?

But yeah uhhm.. nevermind, I managed to restore my game after realising I had the autosave feature turned on. Thank Khaine for that.

You should always have a back up save file. I recall someone saying this is one of the more bug prone mods since it was originally Russian.
