Hi there
When I play Hayasdan or Pahlava, sooner or later there will appear a Ghost General, when moving him out of town. Why is that so?
When I play Pahlava, there are many CTD's when I attack a hostile army. It happenes between klicking to fight the battle myself and the loading-screen.
I have installed all fixes, Version = EB 1.2
Other Question
Does EB run on Windows 7? I will have installed it on my new PC
EB seems to work with Windows 7: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=123030
The only circumstances I've seen a ghost general appear were:
A) When you use the move_character cheat on a FM who is inside a town and
B) A bug with the client ruler script which is no longer in EB 1.2
So did you perhaps use the cheat?
The pre-battle CTDs I have had were mostly in huge battles that involved reinforcements or more units than my PC could handle.
Hi burn_again, thanks for the quick answer.
No, I know about the effect this cheat has, if you move a character, who is in a city. I did not use any cheat at all in these campaigns.
There were no reinforcements in this battle. It was a very small one, 1 FM of my own against 3 units of light infantry of the AS.
Could it be, that my PC is too old and weak? *G* Maybe it gets better after I get the new one
This is the savegame:

Take the FM from Khiva and attack the Seleukid force just south of it. Then I get a CTD
I downloaded your save game and tested it:
- don't think you PC is too weak, such a small battle shouldn't be a problem
- when I move out the FM and attack the army I get a CTD too, several times, with script on and off
- when I use the unit of archers instead to attack, I also get the CTD
- when I didn't attack them, they moved next to Khiva in the next turn, I attacked them and got the CTD
I did not get the CTD when:
- I used move_character to move the army east of Khiva to attack it there
- I didn't attack them in the first turn, they moved next to Khiva in the next turn, I used the archers to attack them from behind with the FM in Khiva as reinforcement
Conclusion: I have no idea what it is :-(. I don't think it is trait-related, as I got it without FM too. Could be something with the map, but I doubt it. Best is probably to auto_win the battle and hope it doesn't happen again.
I also played the campaign for a few couple turns, moved FMs in and out of towns, but didn't see a ghost general.
Bad news :-( I will try what you said, but actually I cannot auto-calc the battle, because I would lose heavily. So I will let them besiege me, and do what you did. I have to fight it myself. Thank you very much for testing it.
In that case, i.e. if a CTD is stopping your case, using the "auto_win" command is not a cheat, so just use it!Quote:

They didn't actually besiege Khiva, just stood next to it. I won with only a few casualties on the bodyguard unit.Quote:

I will try that, and if it does not work, I will use the auto_win attacker cheat. Thank you guys
