BI: First game chrash in BI! ph43r my modding skills!

Ok, so I got the game tonight. Yay!

And of course, being the impatient SOB I am, I haven't played it (other than having a look at the map) yet, I went straight to have a look at what fun things I can do with it...

After having a brief look at some of the files, I modded in all the other factions. I left out the slave faction, as usual, and I also left out the roman rebel factions as I figured they would be rebels too.

Anyhoo, to the bug: When choosing the Lombardi, Roxani og Burgundii on the "faction-choosing-page", the game immedeatly chrashes. Fast. No buzzing, and no error. Just went down. OK, so the Senate chrashed in RTW, but at least you could start a game with them. With these, as soon as I clicked on their faction shield, the game would chrash.

So...anybody know what's up with the nonplayable factions in BI?

I understand that you cannot play the slavs, I guess they appear later in the game(at least I couldn't see them), but all these 3 are present on the map...

Oh, and also, I've found their maps in \bi\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion...

You have to add maps and descriptions for the new playable factions. You can no longer make factions playable just by a quick edit of the campaign

There are maps in fact, I think you just have to take care that you don't make the emergent factions playable or give them some regions and characters.

I started a RTW Campaign after installing BI and found that the exact same thing happens for some unplayable factions that I had put down as playable.
