What's wrong with Alexandreia-Ariane?

[Taedius]

Ok, this is basically a rant. In my current Saka campain, I keep crashing trying to take it. Even crashed once accepting a battle to relieve it. It's getting frustrating.

There, off my chest. Any suggestions are of course welcome, but I expect this is just one of those things.

Now, off to try AGAIN...

Does it crash even if you auto_win the battle? Is there a FM involved with zero movement points? Did you use move_character in this game?
Is it plain EB1.2+fixes or a changed build?

Phosphatrian or whatever the city just south of Alexandria Ariana kills attacking fm's no matter what..

I've bypassed the problem for now, by retreating when the battle came up. But I'll have to take that town sooner or later. We'll see.

As for XSamatans points: Haven't tried autowin. The pre-battle crash seems to have been a one-time thing.
Zero movement points, don't think so, but not sure. They were stuck in the towns zone of control, first turn of siege.
No move_character.
Plain 1.2 + fixes, in effect. I tried earlier to install a modpack, unsuccessfully. Could be something there, I guess.

Create a backup of your save and try it once with auto_win, normally this does the trick.

Thanks, if this keeps up, I'll try that.
