repeating crash and interesting unique battle behaviour

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well the 'retreat-path' isn't neccesarily leading back to from whence they came; it may actually (I have observed this rather 'odd' behaviour myself on numerous occasions) lead further into your territory or be about some very elaborate grand manoeuvre... The AI is crazy like that.

As for your story of the entire army crashing through your lines -- that's the usual stuff when the retreat route would lead 'em accross the bridge. Happens elsewhere too... the bridge a Ptolemais-Theron, some of the river crossings in Delta-Neilou. I guess it just happens if the AI has a bad day and makes the wrong decision about army-movements on the strat-map.

There was quite a lot of text there so I may have missed some. I gather that the crash happens after the battle is concluded and when returning to the campaign map? Have you tried to wait for 10-15 seconds before closing the battle summary?

hello bovi.

no, the crashs are completely random during the battle. in fact, i get very few, if any, crashes after the battle, but i always have a short look at the battle statistics so that may help.

most crashes seem to happen when i have the enemy army trapped on the bridge and it´s already routing and i try to charge in my reserves for the kill. then often i get an instant CTD. and also only on that specific bridge map at massalia.
very strange indeed.

another but i encountered concerns the Aedui "time of soldiers" reform. after that, my main MIC buildings are constantly red/damaged. i can put them into the repair cue but they stay red. doesn´t seem to affect my capability of recruiting the reformed units though. i still get my nietos and brihentin. this bug affects MIC buildings in all stages.

Then I guess it could be a pathfinding error when the troops start panicking. You may want to try to allow them to cross the bridge fully before engaging, so you can see if it makes any difference.
