I don't know if anyone has experienced this before but on completing shard 4 of the campaign and making the first astral choice (no disease btw) the game crashes when attacking the next shard. I've played Eador on and off over the years but it has never crashed on me until now. This is the save that caused the problem if anyone is interested:

It's not too far into the campaign but I don't want to start again and risk it happening again.

Thanks

EDIT: I think it may have been a self induced crash. Maybe it's not so good an idea to edit shard_bonus.var to get better random units and then forget that you made those changes.

Definitely self-induced, doesn't work on fresh version.

Thanks for testing, Gremlion. I still get a crash on a clean install so it may even be a non-Eador problem.

I suppose error in the modded file leaded to generation of impossible bonus on shard - I can launch the game, and get instant crash when I select shard.

You're spot on Gremlion. From memory I was trying to get a bonus fairy on shard 4 or 5 so it makes sense that the crash would occur then.
