    Have you considered the chance that "configuring for BI" makes changes to descr_strat? Mine says:

    character Gisgo ofcarthago, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 17, , x 59, y 102
    traits NaturalIntelligence 3 , NaturalCharisma 2 , NaturalEnergy 2 , Selflessness 4 , Temperament 1 , Loyalty 4 , TurnsAlive 1 , QarthadastimKarthadastei 1 , GisgoBiography 1 , CommandExperience 2 , GoodTactician 1 , GoodDefender 1 , BadAdministrator 1 , BadAttacker 1 , BadRecruiter 1 , BlackBileHumour 1 , NumAncillariesAcquired 2 , FamilyMember 1

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    That seems to be the case. I've figured out the problem....and yes, it's my own stupid fault, not a bug.

    I did step by step what it says to do here, like I've done for every EB since 1.0:
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...3&postcount=85

    As you can see, it doesn't involve changing anything in descr_strat, only copying the folder it's in. However, after checking the EB 1.2 files, they do have the correct descr_strat.

    So what happened was that I did this BI setup guide when only EB 1.1 was installed, and then when EB 1.2 was installed over it, it obviously didn't overwrite the new barbarian_invasion folder created in order to let me play BI. Checking the EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder which contains descr_strat confirms that the descr_strat in that folder is correct like yours, but the one in EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion is not correct, since it was copied from the EB 1.1 install.

    Whoops, sorry.
