I did just figure out the pause issue, and the pause option disappears when save is set to mania. So, no issue there (other than that the autosaving on save->mania doesn't seem great).
As far as recruits go, I didn't find any on level 6... so I should try to find them and see how it behaves on my end. Here are some spoilers about the recruits I had trouble with:
Murphy, on floor 2 behind a secret door - garbled text, but didn't freeze
??? on floor 5, you have to climb up through 6 and navigate some darkness to find this one
??? on floor 8 behind two secret doors near the middle of the map
If any of those works fine for you, or I find Lawrence and it works fine for me, I suppose I've just been crying wolf the entire time...
I had the same issue when recruiting Murphy. I don't know what I chose (garbled text), but he wasn't around afterwards. But, I cast detectepic, and realized he was in town, just waiting to be added to a party. Not sure casting had anything to do with it, he might just be waiting for you in town.
Sorry, got it wrong, it was Floor 5, not 6. He's at X11, Y9.
Cheers for the town tip, I'll check when I get back. Just finishing up Floor 5 with Grid Cartographer now. Decided you had the right idea with mapping, just cuts down on the portability of it but does increase enjoyment.
No, FFS I got it right first time! It *is* floor 6 at X11, Y9. I've been mapping it out in GC and due to the elevator I missed a floor. Just hit the stairs back up to Floor 5 and thought I was going mad when my drawn maps showed no stairs on the floor above.
Heading towards that dark area so will update when I've found this other dude.

This is getting weirder. I've explored and mapped every square on Floor 2 and there's no secret doors and no Murphy in my game. There is a locked door that I picked that had a gargoyle battle hidden behind it and some ancient text but no Murphy anywhere. Are we sure we have the same game lol? Sure enough, Laurence was waiting at the tavern to be recruited, a lvl 8 Lord. I went back down to Floor 4 with him in the party and spoke to the soldiers that were looking for him, but no different response from them.
Holy shit!! I don't think we do for multiple reasons - soldiers on floor 4, no murphy on floor 2 (murphy is a level 10 lord), gargoyles on level 2...
There are two empire GBC games that got translated - #1, The emperor of Naraka, and #2 The Staff of Resurrection .
So, I'm playing the first one "The Emperor of Naraka" The intro screen is just a sword.
I suspect you are playing 2, The staff of Resurrection - the intro screen is a pair of dragons... Are there a couple of soldiers you can talk to at the door of the dungeon, and a castle you can visit to talk to nobles or some such.
Here's the crazy thing. This thread seems to be for the first one, cause it sez Empire 1, and the image 'n boxart in the first post is the title screen of the game I'm playing.
BUT!! The link to RDHN from the same post goes to the page for the second game!! So yeah, that's crazy and I see how our wires got crossed.
I suspect this first game may not have gotten a playthrough, while several people played the second one, BUT
I might also be going completely batshit insane!
Well that explains everything! I'm using the translation patch MrRichard999 linked in the first post in this thread and yes, I'm playing the Staff of Resurrection. My original ROM says Fukkatsu No Tsue and it's working perfectly so I'm pretty positive in saying the patch in this thread is for the Resurrection staff game.
Glad I've got another one to look forward to after playing this one.
Yeah, and you also have 3 more gb wizardry gaiden, and 1 snes gaiden - MrRichard & co do nice work!! Also, there will probably be less bugs when you get around to this one.
MrRichard999 So, a lot of chaos in this thread, but here's the tl;dr:
I am reporting bugs for wizardry empire 1 (emperor of naraka) and *not* empire 2 (staff of resurrection). The patch linked in this thread is for 2, but I'm definitely playing with the patch and appropriate rom (correct crc) for 1 from here : http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2316
So far, I've encountered 3 things I think are bugs, and I think they are all dungeon recruitment events.
The first one didn't cause a crash, only garbled text during the encounter, and the character got recruited just fine. I didn't make a save state for this one, but I can make it happen if needed.
The other two both caused crashes and I made and uploaded save states for both. Those links are bad now, but I can make more if you didn't get a chance to download them.
Please disregard anything I said about saving functionality - those bugs occurred between my ears. I'll make states for anything else I find.
