    Wait, so you use the Imperial Campaign rather than the Provincial Campaign? I didn't know that was possible. Why don't we use the Imperial Campaign? I'll have to ask Tyr.

    Anyway, it turns out that I have to delete map.rwm between each loading of the map, or else I get a CTD without error. This could use a little more work.

    from my experience that means there is an error somewere in the campfiles. I believe it ignores some errors the first time when it composing the map.rwm file, but not when loading it. Do you use the show_err parameter ?

    Yeah, I use show_err. Nothing turns up. Any idea what sort of campfile error it could be? The RTR campaign works fine.

    hm have you tried using the rwm file from RTR campaign folder in the base folder ? IIRC I just copy pasted everything from my imperial campaign folder to base and I dont have any problems. If it still crashes try renaming or deleting the base folder and see what happens (can't garantee that will work at all).

    Don't know if it's useful to you but, if you change the imperial map radically,then there is a very big chance that custom/historical battles will not work properly. The reason is that those maps are taken from the imperial campaign. If there is now a sea your army will drown immediately.

    Yeah, I realized that, thanks. I started thinking about this when I realized that historical battles used the base/imperial map, after all (trying to pick a realistic spot for the battles to take place).
