...when it crashes, you lose your Zombies, Centurions, etc etc.. But that's not the part that annoys me. That's a fact of life. But let's say you go through the process of conjuring servitors and such, then the system crashes, you lose them. Not only that, though, they are still listed in your Affects. I think there should be a way implemented so that if the system crashes upon the next time he comes up, people's affects are wiped clean regarding those things. It's relatively easy to code in a way to find out if something has crashed or not. - Upon bootup of CF, a file is created somewhere. Upon proper shutdown, it is deleted. Also upon bootup, if that file exists then that means it was not properly shutdown... Viola! You can tell if it crashed or not. Now that I type this, I think I should just delete it, because it would be really tedious to find out WHO was affected by the crash, etc etc. Bah, forget it, it's a fact of life.. It's just annoying to have the system crash and then have to sit for twenty minutes to try and get another Zombie, when you already had three-five of elite storm giant soldiers.
