Well, just killed the three lieutenants and the overlord on continent 4.
So i left the overlord tower, went to a harbor and sailed to the new continent...
Only there wasn't any, nope... instead the settlement had been placed on continent 1
It shows two settlements now on continent 1, the other called continent 5.
The continent still has all its towers conquered, and is still at tier 5.
And best part of all, i couldn't even leave the game normally, pressing esc took control away from my character but it didn't open the menu.
Instead i got spammed with a huge amount of error messages just by being on continent 1 or 4 (didn't bother checking the other two)
In the end i attempted to access the menu while on a continental ship in the ocean, that finally worked.
Yes, you all have permission to reenact that great scene at the statue of liberty in planet of the apes now
