Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator - Bugs

Bugs

There is a major bug in all ports of the game such that if the player is doing particularly well, the game often hangs in the final turn.

There are some suspected bugs in the war code for managing the losses of different unit types; it seems that SAM units sometimes have absolutely no effect whatsoever.

There appears to be a bug of some sort with regard to the defense budget; if the game lasts a long time, the defense budget eventually, one year, is set to 0% instead of the normal 35%. The budget can still be increased by 2% per year as normal, but as one might expect, the actual monetary value of the budget is then uselessly low. This may be related to the defence budget being set to 41%. In the year before the budget crashes, the player seems to get equipment like Hinds without buying them.

There are a few typos in the game which can be distracting to the player, such as the announcement that a given country has been overrun by another country's "hoards" (its bank accounts?), rather than using the correct term, "hordes".
