Problem with culture change

[reahad]

I recently modded my game to change the Scipii and Brutii into Bactria and Magadha respectively. I followed the tutorial by Atilius to the letter and got the Bactrian faction working. I then did the same with the Brutii/Magadha, and here is where the problem occurs.
I added a whole list of new names for my Magadhan faction (data\descr_names.txt, data\descr_names_lookup.txt,data\text\names.txt)
and changed the names in the descr_strat.txt file to reflect this. The campaign loads up perfectly. Everything is dandy until I click the end turn button, at which point I am getting a CTD (without any warnings from using -show_err). I'm not sure, but I think the fault lmay lay in the new names that I added or the descr_strat.txt file.
If anyone has had similar problems or knows whats wrong I would appreciate the help.

I think you're correct about the cause. I once had exactly this problem when I was experimenting with names. In this case I was attempting to cram every characters' full name into his first name and blank out the last name. At first I simply put a carriage return after the last name in data\text\names.txt. This caused a crash when ever you try to save a game, and of course every time you hit the end turn button, the game autosaves after all the AI turns are complete.

You probably need to add just a few names at a time and then test. It's time consuming, but should solve the problem.

Good luck.

Thank you for the help. I moved some of the first names to the surnames section in descr_names.txt and it works fine now.
