@requiem, gonna be honest... your game is so broken that I couldn't even begin pointing at stuff.

just some excerpts:
the Dragonian race has broken xml
multiple Patches fail horribly
a lot of stuff is just flat out duplicated or misconfigured
not even animals or biomes work correctly


@AetherRenegade, you added ThirdAge to a running game. That will mess up your game.

@erdelf - ThirdAge has been present since the game was created.

That's not what your log says. The save was saved without it being active.

That's bizarre. I haven't disabled the mod since it was installed. This game was just created yesterday. Everything was functioning normally about 4 hours before the update dropped. Checked a few separate saves and everything seems normal. Just this one string is messed up. The only other thing I did was enable steam to upload saves to cloud, but I have no idea how that would cause something like that. Guess I'll just have to scrap the save.

Thanks for looking.

I also checked my own saves after I got your reports, and I can't see any difference. Also you two seem to be the only two affected, so I'll mark this as a fluke for now.
