Here's another problem i noticed.

It occured several times, my opponent actually dissapear from the map for the rest of the game. He still does things, but i just can't see him anymore. However, i can still see his "helpers" (Cheerleaders, Grannies, Definers etc...)

Also, i had problems moving my new "helpers". I see them on the clipboard, select them (The clipboard becomes light blue), and right click on the state i want it to go in, but nothing happens. Other times, everything works perfectly.

This might be a lead to a problem previously mentionned. It would seem that when i start a new game, having left the first one using "option", it would seem that some of the previous game's data remains. Exemple: The cursor displaying the location of my candidate was not in the state i'm in, but rather in the state i WAS in the previous game. That might also explain why my opponent dosn't move; perhaps the AI considers that all his stamina has been used. Good luck.

Here's another problem i saw a few times. When there's a political opportunity in one of the state, i send my candidate to grab it. However, once i land in the state, i do not grab it, and it remains there. Then after, my opponent would fly in that same state and he does grab it.

Maybe the AI considers it has captured it when it was "thinking" his moves, and not actually when he did complete the move.

However, it seems a rare problem, i only had in twice in about 10-12 games.

One more thing. I've been noticing that the colors on the popular vote map are not very helpful. You can be seriously misled and find that the "almost black" state has become a runaway for your opponent.

I was having CTD until I turned off my norton anti-virus. Just made it through my first complete game.
