Well I can't get on MSN for some reason...

For the benefit of others, I now have the climate appearing on campaign map, but crashing in battle, like eadingas.

The results of my tests with descr_geography.db were that when I renamed it, and fought a battle elsewhere than my new climate, the battle loaded, the the ground was transparent in the forground, and white (snow as it was winter) in the background.

This would make it seem that either the game does not parse descr_geography.txt or that descr_geography.txt does not contain all the info that the .db file does.

I realised that we might be missing something in that there are several files and two folders I think which contain the names of climates. I made a copy of these files and renamed them.

Now when I try to play a battle on the new climate, it reaches the loading bar, but crashes early on. Did this happen before I renamed the files? I can't remember if it CTD before the loading bar...

The game still CTD's
