This is not a bug report... only a comment.

It now seems pretty much confirmed that AoD is impossible to continue playing once any alliance list exceeds 77 members. In my case of playing USA, it is with allies Canada and UK and 74 puppets. So it might be that it actually is adding a 75th puppet that "breaks" the game or just a 78th alliance member.

I have long been becoming aware of the growing problem as my list of possible nations that I can give province to extended past the display space. At first one could scroll down to view the other country choices at bottom of list. But as the list kept growing, scrolling resulted in blurring the list (or super imposing names upon other names) so that it was completely impossible to scroll and still have anything slightly readable. The more one scrolled, the more layers of list would duplicate on top of each other in the strangest blurred way.

But lately I hit a new problem whenever I try to liberate the next nation - which would be the 75th puppet or 78th member of the Allies. The "Liberate Nation" succeeds just fine. But the second one clicks either the Intelligence or Diplomatic tab the game crashes totally.

Well, maybe I should reconsider "puppeting the whole world" only because it was something different to try. Or maybe I should kick out a few dozen members so I can possibly invite more... and continue my unusual game? :D

I am limited both ways. Turns out, as USA, I'm not the Big Chief I thought I was. I have no authority to Ban Anybody from the Allies. In fact, I can't even leave the Allies cause there's this war going on which everybody expects me to win for them.

So I can't play around with either the puppet count or change the alliance members to figure out if it is the 75th puppet or the 78th alliance member that crashes the game.

Releasing puppets didn't change anything. I'm sure it is related to the game firstly doing the below once the list extends past the display space. First image is of normal display for Give Province To. Note that includes a quick link to both the Intelligence and Diplomacy Tabs (precisely what crashes game when going there either place anyway possible after adding 78th alliance member).

NORMAL DISPLAY BELOW: I would like to give the island of Socotra (blue, visible just left of list) to Somalia (orange country at Horn of Africa) but Somalia is listed further down.




BELOW: List scrolled down by only one name (note the overlay on list names).




BELOW: List has been scrolled down 10 names. Note the 10-segmented scroll bar indicator at the top left of list window. So you can see how much more scrolling remains to get to bottom of list... and imagine the "all snow or white out" that will be there then as the overlayers increase with more scolling.



I don't mind if this gets moved to Bug Reports. Sorry, guess I should have started it there. But I don't like to bother the mods.
