Gratitude of the dwarves keeps crashing in Monster Kingdom

[Serious Business]

Trying to get the Orb of Sydrian but the game keeps crashing around day 50. No errors, just the game .exe has stopped working.

Any ideas on what causes this and how to prevent it? I've already verified the game's cache and reinstalled it once. Dependencies are all up to date and it's only this level that crashes.

Ah, it appears to happen when I put a bounty on Snowwhite's head. Unfortunately, without the temples it's impossible to complete the mission so that's that I guess.

Same issue. Tho I got some more details. Game crashes whenever any of my units enters the island with snowwhite. No matter how I achieved it.

Me too, with the unit entering the island as well.
In earlier plays the priestess had 3 popup windows with some speech like "I see danger", maybe those files got corrupted?
The crash also happens before and after day 33 when the priestess gets buffed.
Oddly placing a mage tower on the island does not trigger the crash, but i doubt the towers would overpower her healing.

Same.
Finish this only when foreced to loose time quest. After they invent their "super wepon", then it possible to use attack flag without game crash...

how did the bug get fixed? is it something i need to update? if so how do i do it? thanks. i would really like to get past dwarven gratitude in the form of the orb,

Still bugged, and I assume it won't be fixed. This mission crashed several times on me. The mage tower idea worked for me, though, or at least led me in the right direction. I hit her several times with dark vortex.

Just be greatful the expansion works for you at ALL. In my case none of the DLC content works because of Paradox breaking it

There is a 3rd party fix for disabled dlcs, altough you have to dl additional files.

It's possible to destroy the elemental without the shrine either by killing him early before he gets buffed or later on after you get so strong heroes, his buff doesn't matter.
Werewolfs, minotaurs, liches and archers are more than enough to take him down.
As for the pristess I killed her with magic as my heroes couldn't enter the island due to the crash.
You build one mage tower close to her and then just spam dark vortex on her till she dies.
She doesn't attack the tower so you can spam vortex for as little as 1k per cast.
Takes about 10/15 casts as she tries to heal dwarfs instead of herself.

Has anyone managed to solve that? I remember, I've finished this game many times, but this time it crashes even when day counters are done.
