Hi everyone warriors.

At last, I was able to invest some time investigating what was going wrong, and that was my last try:

I copy-pasted the EDU and projectiles data files over the ones in the Data folder. After that, I deleted the maps.wrm file and started the game. No CTD until I pushed the "Start" button when choosing faction, some seconds with my computer frozen and I was thrown to desktop with violence. I had the log at the fist try, but at the second one it magically dissapeared... Well that is as much as I can do with my knowledge, I accept suggestions.

EDIT: I achieved to save a log from a new try, I paste some of the last lines below:

Thanks, team.

I think it overwrites the previous log with the current. Those errors you've posted above have nothing to do with the new EDU, but your first one might have.

I have no problem waiting for your next release, I only hoped to be of some help ;).

Best regards, thanks

Quick update, as in the OP I'd said I'll only release material updates, rather than deluging you with a new file every time I tweak some small thing. Fixing the broken phalangite animation issue isn't "some small thing", and I've removed the secondary weapon from the Pantodapoi and Illyrioi phalangites for the time being, along with sorted the funny spacing for the Machimoi phalanx. There's also a host of minor amendments (mostly consistency; so that lancers have the same attack stats with their lances, and all javelineer-skirmishers being equally useful against elephants), but what I haven't finished yet is the reworking of cavalry speeds. That should be in the next day or two, and once done I'll be putting an update here and removing the old one.

Updated EDU in the first post, I've fixed the phalangites with no secondary weapon skeletons/animations and the spacing on the Machimoi phalangites. Numerous little tweaks, but a revision of cavalry speeds, which mostly impacts the lighter ones, who will be slower. Even those Numidians!
