There's a much bigger bug in conquest, and I stopped playng becuse of it. Take a Dwarven Wizard. Buy one level of regen, and put EVERYTHING else into magic powers. When the game starts, tka take 4 sectors--Your starting capitol, one farm land, one gold mine, and one iron mine. Sit back. There's NO limit on population increase. You gain almost 200 points per update, your four sectors have about 500-600 soldiers, no one can take them, you can raise more people in an instant from your capitol if needed, and you just let everyone else fight it out and then clean up after them. The big problem with this is that population increase is adjusted by number of people in a spot--there's no NEED to expand in this game. Michael
