Hello, I cannot start a new game on my CoM 1.5.2. When I press new game, I get the message "An unhandled exception occurred. Please report this bug to the developers. Please attach a saved game file that can be used to reproduce this crash"
Uninstall/reinstall does not help. I have no saved game to send, but I have a .log file. It doesn't show any obvious issues but stops at the line "Hero 35 Prayermaster = 1". Happy to send anything to help me diagnose the issue.
Previously, I had opened the game ~January of this year without issue. The other games within the MoM Classic collection (Original, Caster for DosBox) are able to start a new game.
Any help would be much appreciated! I hope I can play this game again soon.

did you try deleting or moving the files COM.set AUTOSAVE.SAV and all the files 1-8.SAV?

Yes, unfortunately didn't fix the issue. I tried deleting COM.set, I also moved it to a new folder within the Master of Magic Caster Windows folder. I then deleted COM.set and the new folder but they both re-appear when I boot the game again.
I also deleted all the Autosaves and Files 1-8.SAV (They don't exist in my folder anymore, I searched "Autosave" and couldn't find anything across all versions of the game)

did you try uninstalling, deleting all game folders and files and reinstalling? are you installing from GOG? Steam?
if this doesn't work, if you want you can create a zip from your installation, upload it and PM me the link, I can compare it to the files in my PC and tell you the difference.
Holy Weapon only buffs the To Hit of Thrown and Breath attacks when cast out of combat, not within, making it considerably worse as a combat spell. This doesn't seem intentional.
It looks like Zypher found a rare bug in COM4Win: If an AI wizard gets banished while casting “Summon Champion”, the hero may end up among the player's units causing some weird game behavior and a small risk for crashing to desktop.
Another thing I noticed is that mercenaries from races added by a MOD can be from the other plane before the towers break. Personally I don't mind it, but it's certainly unintended.

Steam backs up a few files in the cloud, including com.set, magic.set and HOF.set . I strongly suspect (but am not 100% sure) that if you delete these files, Steam automatically restores them from the cloud, as no matter how many times I delete HOF.set, my hall of fame stays the same.
Cloud files can be accessed here: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage and login with your steam account.
I feel like the latest versions of CoM have memory leaks. I've frequently experienced the game slowing down when I keep it running for long, and usually it causes the computer to slow down too. Today it got so bad it made the system hang until I force reset it. This seems like a pretty severe issue, it should be looked into as soon as possible.
Version 1.5.4, I try to use GETCITYDATA to record farmer pop number or food number from ecofood.cas to use in ecogold.cas. For some reason, the function is not working properly. Number transfer from one script to another is not correct, and it also not update too. It keeps report number 2 except when I set it with integer or command, it could not report proper value set as factor reference.
I think there must be something wrong with SetCityData and GetCityData function, it could not retrieve accurate value. I have tried it several times and pattern of error seem like random for me, or it recalls wrong city ID.
