First off: congratulations on the latest Alpha -- truly phenomenal work!
I just compiled 9786 on my x86_64 gentoo laptop and played my first game (median oasis). After approximately an hour (unfortunately I started it from menu and not command line, so I don't have a timestamp) and 18597 turns, I lost all ability to interact with my units. I could scroll through the battlefield with both keyboard commands and the mouse, but I could not select units via hotkey or click. I had no problem selecting 'Menu' and exiting out of the game.
Checking my logs, nothing showed up under 0ad's interesting, and I have nothing strange in Xorglog or my xsession. I was simply unable to pass any commands to my units.
A quick search of this forum didn't turn up similar bugs, so I imagine that this is either a) a weird one-off, or a feature (the documentation of which I haven't seen) preventing users from getting too sucked into this game and thereby destroying any hope of productivity...
In any case, please let me know if you would like additional information & I'll let you know if it happens again.
