i had a strange behaviour when starting the game for the first time:
it would always crash/disappear when i clicked start.
Once i used the map-editor and saved the map i was able to play it.
Does this make sense to you ?
Otherwise a neat game.
My complaint would be, that a bit more introduction could be needed.
for example i was not sure why some armies seemed to move at different speeds or how many man spawn each turn, i felt like it was different in some castles from other castles.
