    Anyway. I tried to add the lines at the end of "export_descr_character_traits.txt". But the game wouldnt start when I did. It "froze" at the start-up screen.

    So I tried to "steal" the export_descr_character_traits.txt from the "ALEX EB" mod. The game started without problem - I loaded my Pontos campaign and pressed "end turn". No ctd - but my faction leader got tons of strange traits; like client ruler and such. And he didn't die.

    I guess that's because the fix is not save game comp..

    If you're using notepad, don't. It can screw things up.

    Try adding the immortal trait not at the very end of the file where the triggers are, but at the start with the other traits. And see if the game still crashes.

    Speaking of immortals, in my Ptolemaic campaign in 1.1 I fought the Seleucid faction leader when I attacked Seleucia - and he just would not die. He was the only guy left in the town square, surrounded by my men, and he just would not die. I eventually won by literally shoving him off the square and waiting out the three minutes. He was still alive when that time was up.

    Glitch? Or did he just have an incredible number of hitpoint-giving traits?

    Probably a combination of tired men, hitpoint traits, and armour. Don't worry about it.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Had exactly the same, but I could not bear with the thougth he was still alive so my men attacked him another 5 minutes, finally killing him.

    Heh, I am downloading Alexander right now because I am sick of my beloved generals dying. I always reload, and that gets annoying after a while, especially when you see all of those traits gained you have lost by reloading and doing the "End Turn" thing all over again.

    So all my campaigns after the Romani one, which I am going to finish in a couple of months (conquer the world) are going to be on alex.exe with immortal generals!! Ahhh, my dream come true.

    Say what you want about role-playing and cheating, but I like my generals alive. I have months of history behind each of my generals, and 10 influence and management, and I am not about to give that up.

    Especially that mercenary general that started out with a whole lot of negative traits, including Pessimistic and Dull, but eventually became a Governor of a province, Plebeian Tribune, Quaestor, Aedile, Praetor, Consul, and finally Censor as well as Pontificus Maximus. He is also a member of Equites, Nobile, and has a whole load of modesty and honesty traits such as Integritas, Verrecundus, Fretus, etc. That is just a small fraction of his three-page long list of traits. The guy also has 10 influence + management in addition to 7 command. I love that general to death, and I would be devastated to see him die.

    Cavallery charge attacks negate the live points, so I always kill enemy generals with them, or when they are routing, but man I once had a ptollmaeic enemy general who was routed across the whole map by 5 units of cavallery, all where faster than him and surrounded him, but they couldnt kill him...

    Exactly how certain you are that cavalry charges do that? Your statement seems a bit questionable to me. I have no idea whether you are right or wrong, so if you have any evidence or appeals to authority, present it now please. Can anyone else confirm or refute the statement? I myself doubt it.
