Has anyone seen this before? I've just discovered democracy and want to take advantage of it. In this snapshot, inciting a revolution causes the game to lock up.
If anyone has a suggestion how I can get this revolution to happen, I would really appreciate it.

Found it. It has nothing to do with the save files. It's the KING.TXT file. Restored it from an old backup and made it read-only.
Now figuring out what triggers the game to actually write to KING.TXT. Anybody have any insight?
 
I know only that:

1) 'fresh' king.txt already has some binary data
2) game will freeze if you will delete this data altogether
3) all different king.txt files which i have (including problematic file from Valen) have same number of bytes in this part. So it does not looking like some totally arbitrary writing. At least it always in this 'data' part of file.

Should at least investigate read/write from a file routines. But for me it's not easy, we need someone of level of darkpanda here. But I'm definetely interested.
