CTD when attacking Ogre settlements. Any known tricks/fixes except autocomplete?

[franz48621]

First of all, thank you alot for the amazing work. I am currently playing Chaosdwarfs and just had my first crash after hours and hours of playtime. When ever i attack any of the three Ogre settlements the game crashes with the endtime message.

Is there any trick like with the Nuln great canon? Thanks alot!

There is a bug with minor Northern culture settlements (both castles and towns) that causes CTDs when entering a battle. You have to edit "descr_strat" and replace "level town" with "level large_town" for chaos factions, ogres and Norse rebels (or all rebels to be sure). Do not change it for other factions/cultures as they should work fine. It is not save game compatible so you have to start a new campaign. Maybe it's fixed in 1.5 now.
