Summary0001065: Cannot embark
DescriptionPlays very well through preparing... Very enjoyable xP


Anyway, once I finish setup and choose to embark, it hangs for a while, then throws a c++ error... With nothing on it. I can't do anything from here other than restart the computer. Have tried skipping set up and choosing instead "embark now" but that does the same thing. This is the same for every single map location I've tried (about 6/7). The only thing That has not changed between tries is map size, I have done maximum 16x16 every time (will try a smaller size tommorow, this just occurred to me now)
Steps To ReproduceAnything I try, 16x16 map size, even generated a new map

I think this is the same bug as 0000136.

Yeah, currently embarking on the largest possible area uses so much RAM that it crashes the game. Try a smaller area.
