Alright, I created a faction and I was playing through the game with it. Everything was working fine until I got to the year 1154 and my king was 55 years old and he had no heirs. When I pressed the button to end year my game crashed. I am using the latest version of VI, 2.01, so my king shouldn't die at 56 years. Nonetheless, I don't know why this is happening. Perhaps I need to adjust a file for when my game ends? I have no idea. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Can you load up that campaign again and wait for the crash.Then come back here and tell us everything that happened that turn.it could be a rebellion causing the crash if you havent put in the custom folders in textures for some of the units.
Nope, I made all the right adjustments in terms of the texture files, hence the reason why I was able to play up to the year 1154 after fighting hordes of peasants and arab infantry and UM's and whatever else. All I know is that my leader is 55 years old, has no heirs, and all my provinces are in the green. I was going to attack the byzantines on the first time my game crashed. The second time i loaded my game up, i decided to stay put and not attack anyone, and my game still crashed. I have no idea what went wrong
According to something I once read in dungeon:
If you have editted an existing faction for whom an in game scripted event is meant to occur at that point, a problem could occur.
That's what I'm thinking too, Khalifah. But, what file or files do I need to edit?
That could be the one.I used the FN_FREE21 slot for my new faction so i didnt have to worry about that.Nor did i have to worry about fighting AGAINST peasants ,it is when your own faction trains these units that you can crash the game methinks.
Have you edited the heroes.txt file correctly for the new faction?Is it the Novgorod that you edited?I had this problem with them as regards the heir but no crash..........just defeat.
Nah, I used the FN_FREE21 slot too. And, the game crashes while I'm on the campaign map, not while loading the actual battlefield. I guess it happened because my king was going to die at 56 and he had no heirs, but the comp couldnt find the game end message to use for my new faction.... I guess that means i gotta get my king making them royal babies, heh.
Yep............start chasing the Royal consorts right now. ~D
you could try using the hero maker tool. This would allow you to create an heir to your king so hopefully your game would not crash. It allows you to specify when he is born. Hope it helps
And if all else fails, reinstall the game
Alright, this is really annoying me. Now my game is crashing at the campaign map at different dates, regardless of any of the previous factors i mentioned. Has this happened to anyone else when they added a faction? Wow, i need some answers, please.

You will have to keep going back to the last autosave and re-loading.Play through to the crash again and again.Then post your observations here for us to see.I havent had this problem with my new factions although the name thing will not work for me.All my kings are called KING.That's probably down to my lazyness however.
