I generally use snipping tool to screenshot segments. Clicking on the log will expand it to give me some more info. You can also (I think) go directly to the log file, which is more helpful. It is just unfortunate that the screenshot error was at the top this time. Will work next time hopefully.
Ah that makes sense. Sounds like I need to give more to do in villages, or some kind of incentive to keep them alive. :P
