If possible, please send the save after weather roll as a courtesy for me to examine. Thanks

Tried to fix it by going back to an autosave. This caused errors in trade. Going back further to break down save. This, however, will cause new units to be drawn for builds.

I will send me the save as soon as I have a save without errors. I was a bit short of time when I did things yesterday so I messed it up.

[NatRapsEno]

It's OK. Don't go back, it's not worth it. Please continue the game. I can return it later.

[Orm]

Ok. Save sent without going back and fix it.
