I thought they just had trouble crossing water, since it was in the river where mine froze up, them refusing to get across. Got to pay more attention to that and see if thats a differant error.
Downloading the expansion pack now. Why isn't it called "The Expansion Pack" instead of glest_data? I would never had gotten it if I hadn't stumpled into this thread and heard what it is.
Great game. Once you figure out how things work, you can really get into it. Of course, tech seems to beat magic easily, but there is probably just a tactic I haven't figured out yet.
---edit--
I can't seem to download it! It freezes up shortly after it starts. Guess I'll try another mirror. I believe Minneapolis, MN was the one I tried. Does everyone get a problem with that one?
