It is doing the classic crashing after loading screen.

 

[LeeS]

which log file is this being reported in ?

it looks as if there is nothing at all being loaded into the game's database for multiple game elements (ie, buildings, player colors, terrain types, etc)

have you directly edited any of the game's original xml-files, or perhaps re-installed the game for some reason but perhaps had an unsuccessful re-install ?

 

[Watsonnn]

Ok, I've fixed it now.

The issue was that I edited one of the XML files but used <TerrrainYield> in the <FeatureYield> column as a result of copy and pasting from elsewhere.
