Quite a lot went wrong this time. In short, I can do this:

AI only battles

This is what happens when I start, AI starts digging and I have no control. See also the minimap.

Veins of evil

Spirit chamber mana 'locked':

Replication does Not always work. It may require a few tries. This only works on the very first skirmish game started. The steps:

1 - Start a skirmish game with an AI in the game. I used difficulty easy, personality Rhaskos, colour red, theme Rhaskos for all testing.

2 - After five seconds or so, leave to main menu.

3 - Immediately re-select the map and open it again. If it works, it shall show up as per the first screenshot.

4 - If not, reboot and try again.

I used my own map to recreate this:

Output log of the basic bug without starting the game:
output_log (second).txt

Output log of the game being started (different game entirely):

output_log.zip

A word of warning, playing the game with this causes the output log to bloat considerably. It was 27MB when I first found it, and 31MB by the time I had compressed it.
