Hello guys.
Time to share some stuff with your peeps. You may already have figured it out but a lot of this will be new to others so here I go. This is a VERY Long post as it is taken from a real working custom campaign. I am going to explain it as I go so you guys can see the problems I hit and understand why some quick fix campaigns are crashing.
This is a break down of how the campaign files seem to work. I am still figuring some stuff out so excuse any errors.
Any area boxed in by # is my Quote to you in this forum and will cause an error if used in the game.
I will cut excess lines and try and leave just a few examples for you.

# explains it self but the part that doesnt is the two number entries. Heres the first entry for ID_NORTH_UMBRIA.
# 7480 4496. These two numbers match almost exactly the coordinates of the border between NORTH_UMBRIA and scotland
# in the MapTex2.tga when loaded in to Adobe photoshop and measured in picas. Castles and other entries use this system too I noticed.

# Most of this explains it self, some parts I dont know yet but heres the info i do have.
# Income appears to be Taxes from that region. Rebelious is as stated but a setting of 2 is very rebelous,
# 3 would be constant chaos and large armies needed to subdue that arena. Culture is vitally important. The game cross links this to
# the owner of the areas own culture and the troops you place there. Giving an "attempting to play unit from different culture" error if you get wrong.
# This happens a lot and requires a lot of work to get right because of all the related areas that use the culture setting.
# Again you have the type of land the game should use which dictates the map and may need matching with the settings further up for that region.
# Castle name i believe is pure fiction. I dont believe its a file, just a name made up in this document. Though I have not tested this yet.

Time to share some stuff with your peeps. You may already have figured it out but a lot of this will be new to others so here I go. This is a VERY Long post as it is taken from a real working custom campaign. I am going to explain it as I go so you guys can see the problems I hit and understand why some quick fix campaigns are crashing.
This is a break down of how the campaign files seem to work. I am still figuring some stuff out so excuse any errors.
Any area boxed in by # is my Quote to you in this forum and will cause an error if used in the game.
I will cut excess lines and try and leave just a few examples for you.

# This happens a lot and requires a lot of work to get right because of all the related areas that use the culture setting.
# Again you have the type of land the game should use which dictates the map and may need matching with the settings further up for that region.

# This also requires a good working knowledge of the game.
# It is also one the hardest parts to get right. You must only place catholic troops in catholic regions.
# The same is true for the other religions too. Failure to do so causes and error. Beyond that
# you just need to check that a factions taxes can actually support the troops you place. Place
# too many and the factions income will be reduced to below zero. I will leave 1 example from
# each cult listed below so you have something to work with.
# Also notice that some entries have the culture listed at the end. These are rebel arenas
