[comp.sources.games.bugs] Some Conquer bugs

jrk@sys.uea.ac.uk (Richard Kennaway) (07/20/89)

1.  Conquer often hangs on me, usually when moving the cursor off the edge
of the displayed part of the map.  It tends to be consistent: whenever
it starts to hang when some PC moves the cursor to a certain place, it
will happen to that PC in that place on every subsequent run.

Sometimes it hangs after displaying the startup screen.

Has anyone seen this?  Does anyone have a fix?  I'm running on a Sun 3.

2.  Run conquer as GOD.  Use the 'c' command to inspect some nation's status,
then - still in the 'c' screen - use 'B' to get to the budget screen for
that nation.  When you go back to the main display, you are now that nation,
instead of GOD.

3.  GOD isnt very powerful.  He cant move nations' armies or population
around, or redesignate sectors.  Maybe this is intended, but it's rather
a cut-rate sort of deity...
