It's not Alt + S. It is the small button called "Prt Sc". Print Screen. Then the computer will take a screenshot of your game - just paste the picture into Paint and save it. :)
I love the Indians. I've always loved their cultures and religion, so I was very happy when I suddenly could control a village full of Indians. :D And just after the Indians comes the Celtic. You gotta' love the blue markings on their bodies.
I just had exactly the same problem and I really don't know what it could be. I have saved all the information you told us to, Kays, but I can't seem to find any problems.
I am using the 1.20 version.
Thanks for posting the tip, Alberath! :) I couldn't remember the Japanese never stopped recruiting troops, but I'm also used to play as Good. I have lots of free time, and I'm alone in the house tomorrow. Then, I'll try it out!
