Hey, can anyone answer this? Why do my armies die when i press withdraw on a computers turn? Sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesnt, and i want to know why it happens, I hate reloading because an an entire army dissapears when i press withdraw.

It happens when they are deep in enemy territory and cannot retreat back to a friendly province. In more explicit terms if your army is in a province that is not directly connected to one of your provinces it will die when withdrawn.

thanks foot, i got another question for you too. You said that if a govt is damaged 100 percent when you conquer a territory install your own, but what if it isnt damaged? For example, im playing seleucia, and conquered a settlement held by Carthage and they had their type 2 govt, but it wasnt damaged at all when i conquered it. Should i install my own type 2 , will keeping theirs cause ctds?

no, some cities have even 3 gov types, for example one of the aedui, one of the averni and one of the lusotannan. the AI seems never to demolish enemy gov types.there should not be a ctd

No, destroy all governments in a province, regardless of whether they are 100% damaged or not (they usually are).

care to explain why? I do it anyways, to get troops. But is there any other reason if you aren't going to build troops there.

Um, because if we could we would. But we can't so we don't and we expect players to.

And there is the reason of game stability. Apparently the game may get annoyed at you for having N copies of a building tree in the same settlement, at times with X copies of the same level to make matters worse.

At least that's the story; I don't vouch for the truth of it.
