I'm just about to re-install the game after hitting another fatal CTD related to AI faction client ruler-clones. So my question is simple; if I remove all the parts of the script relating to client rulers, as per that thread in the mods subfolder, am I less likely to get bugs?

The major game-killing one is related to AI faction FMs with the same name as their client rulers and generals, being adopted, I think. Manifests itself as a banner-less stack that vanishes when you mouseover it, and if you attack it CTDs come.

There's also some strangeness going on with capitals becoming bugged such that you get CTDs if you try to look in them, which is irrecoverable.

Will getting rid of client rulers reduce the likelihood of these ones? Much as I do love them, I'd rather have a game that doesn't require regular restarts because of whatever's going wrong with them.

Will I still be able to recruit generals with a top-tier regional barracks without the client ruler script, or are they part of it too?
