I tried firing up the current Basternae 3 codebase using Mono on my Ubuntu server. It crashed. So, here are the errors I have to sort out before I can get to the next errors:

14:30:34 Trace: Loading spells.

The first error happens when the engine tries to compile custom code in a spell file.

The last error, “race number 0 already taken” is not correct — the ID for Barbarians is set to 1, so the files are obviously not being read correctly.
