[QUOTE=dclare4]Maybe you could try making the province and city names different?

Renamed "Culzean" to "Empire" across the board.

Repeat the same error message, only replace "Culzean" with "Empire"

What exactly is this "String Table" it is referring to?
I had assumed that it was the Campaign_names_and_regions files. The lookup file and the one that sits in the /data/text dir.

again, prior to the fresh install, it made no difference to the game that many of my cities had the same name as the region. So long as all the files contained the correct spelling.
