Africa and Spain battle CTDs.

[thecellarlife]

Okay, I've done everything I could without posting this problem. Hopefully someone can help...

I'm using EB 1.2. I have the normal Rome: Total War game. I use a no-cd thing because my R:TW cd is scratched to hell. I let someone borrow the game, who turned out not to like it, and I got it back basically destroyed, so if there is another way to play it without the CD, great. But I do not think that is causing it, it has to be some bug in EB. I didn't have this problem playing the game normally.

I'm playing as Romanii. I've taken all of spain/Portugal, so I've not dealing with these there anymore, just because if I do have to fight it's a short, small battle with a rebel army. I'm now working my away into Africa and I'm getting these again, same problem with in Spain.

What happens is I always save the game before a battle, but it's not that I'm fighting it after my turn. I save it on my turn, and then try to fight the battle on my turn, on my choice, so I don't think the solution is to not save it like the sticky suggests. The selection to fight pops up, I select to fight the battle on the map, and then the load screen pops up, loads for a few seconds and then I get a crash.

It happens pretty regularly, but only in Spain and Africa so far. I fight battles in Germany and Greece and I don't get this problem, so far. I am going to keep saving it for this reason. I did the validation thing which I posted below, but nothing in there looks like it would have an effect on this, being it is a very specific area of the map. If I'm wrong, then great, you guys can help.

Also, I'm getting those spam reform markers in carthage's cities. I didn't get them in Spain so I don't think that is causing it. Those arn't too big of a deal for me anyway. I just don't want this game crashing all the time.
