Would be very nice if you'd upload some AAR in the relevant thread

@Olaszv and @ xeron22 - maybe you'd have some spare moment to write a short info about your campaign and upload a few interesting pics - in this dedicated thread :-)

[a Dictator's Cigar]

I'm having a constant CTD while loading the 95th turn in my Rum Seljuk campaign. I'm playing on (Patch H The August Version) and the campaign was smooth for me until the 70th turn. then every 2-3 laps I would get a crash while loading the next turn. I managed to reach the 94th turn yet for some reason this CTD is quite consistant. I would love if you could give it a look, I really want to go through with this campaign, more about it will be posted on the Empire Screenshots Thread.

[asirgitawe]

Getting a crash when I pick "Bulgarian Mercenaries" and open a battle

You can reproduce this by opening the attachment, find Ragusa, hire "Bulgarian Mercenaries" and go to battle.

If I hire any other mercenary, the battle opens up. But if I have "Bulgarian Mercenaries" in my roster, I get unspecified error.

Version 0.98

[kostic]

Read the post above. It's the same problem.

[Belovèse]

Things I've found playing 0.98:

- Ruthenian Archers missing model (Silver Surfers).
- Levy javelinmen (Spain) secondary weapon is a sword, but they use spear animation, so I guess they got bonus vs cav also.
- "Waning Faith" and "Growing Faith" traits simultaneously in Cardinal
- "Brave" and "Faltering Courage" traits, in same General
- "Religious" and "Strictly Religious" in a General (Not sure about this one, is it redundant?)

Hey Sinsathar, I found just today the time to look a bit more closely at your report (thanks again for it!)

- The units got adressed by other member of the team I think
- for the traits:
- Waning/Grownig faith need indeed to be fiwed, they are not mutually exclusive but they should! I'll fix it
- Brave and Faltering courage should lower each other at turn's end until only one is left for the next turn. I'll redo it so that there can be only one at any time!
- Religious and Strictly Religious are two different things: the first is about faith of the character, the second is about tolerance towards other beliefs I think. But it is not very clear I admit!

Hi, I'm 111 turns into the game on v. 0.98 beta.
I seem to crash during the sphere_(faction) triggers quite often. What do these do?
Example, also had it happened for turks on the same turn.

17:28:47.808 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

Other than that it has mostly been stable, a nice experience.

I also have a few CTDs in my campaign that do not recur after reloading the save. I personally have no idea of ​​their origin.

How do I fixe the "unlocalised placement text" bug for the Scoutatoi swordsman unit for the Byzantines? It's really anoyying me and I can't be bothered waiting for the next patch haha

This is the best way into modding! Only those who are annoyed about a game start tweaking code, then they play and write code, then only write code, leaving playing aside...

Ha! Indeed, I've been tweaking and messing around with the code of mtw 2 and rtw for years now. Could never be bothered getting into modding, besides doing historical resarch and descriptions for events, units and structures etc.
Anyhow, is there something I can do to fix this problem with the Scoutatoi Swordsmen?

[Jurand of Cracow]

Anyhow, is there something I can do to fix this problem with the Scoutatoi Swordsmen?

I don't know, but maybe something in the file export_units.txt in folder data/text

[Gigantus]

Anyhow, is there something I can do to fix this problem with the Scoutatoi Swordsmen?

• Find the unit in the EDU
• Note it's 'dictionary' entry
• Open data\text\export_units.txt
• Copy a set (3) of lines from any unit to the bottom of the file, example Ballista

{AS_Ballista}Ballista
{AS_Ballista_descr}These artillery pieces....
{AS_Ballista_descr_short}Resembling....

• Replace the unit's name 'AS_Ballista' with your dictionary entry
• Replace text after the curly bracket
• Save data\text\export_units.txt

Awesome! Fixed it, although I noticed that I had to rename the the Scoutatoi units to Scoutatoi Spears and Scoutatoi Swords, the game appear to crash when they had the same name. Is this to be expected?

Awesome! Fixed it, although I noticed that I had to rename the the Scoutatoi units to Scoutatoi Spears and Scoutatoi Swords, the game appear to crash when they had the same name. Is this to be expected?

I think that they should be called "Skoutatoi Spearmen and Skoutatoi Swordmen" and both with same abilities ( shield wall, good morale, good stamina), the shield wall is for reflect the "fulcum" formation in byzantine proffesional infantry army with difference for spearmen ( combat bonus against cavalry) and different attack stats and similar armour ( both unit models have the same armour and training)
