OK....went to war with the first town...i brought 50% of my food (10k+) first thing I did was build a residence and a food ship and as soon as hat happened the village went kaput and i can't seem to get it running....
This game seems to crash a lot, especially when trying to save. Too bad because it's pretty fun. Also, some times...even after sending a lot of supplies to a newly conquered town...the town loses all supplies, shuts down, abandons buildings and has NAN workers.
Don't grind anything if you were expecting a long game. Story ends after the third zone. (Also, assassin and knight gear drop all over, so it'd be very easy to play them. not so much guardian gear, that was hard).
