but anyways, the problem seems to be rebels related. If I look at my town and that town doesn't rebel, I can get past turn 1, but when I try to move my camera over one of the towns that has rebelled, it CTD.
Does anyone know what would cause this kind of problem?

I had a problem like that when I missed adding a entry in the expanded.txt file for rebel cities....

ok, thanks.
What entry had you missed?
Btw, RTW isn't leaving a dump file in my temp folder

I could play a battle against rebels with sassanids, but for empire east it crashes after turn one when some cities rebel.

This is that tricky bit because they are not always there.When general fault message appears, you need to leave on the screen, exit RTW (through alt+ctrl+del) and go go to c:/docs&settings/user name/local settings/temp,right click to arrange icon so you know what files are the latest and try to open them with Windows Debugging tool.They are not exactly called "dump" files -I can't remember what file extensions they are.

Ok, thanks. But when this happens, it crashes right to the desktop, so I can't leave RTW on screen.
I'll do some more testing

Finally solved. I changed all the default factions in descr_regions to franks, and now it works! This probably has some connection with the way rebels are spawned. This is very weird.
Anyways, it is solved now.
Thanks for your help guys:)

Glad you have solved that

This "spawn" problem with rebels and mercenaries keep coming back.

Well, it ain't completely solved.
I thought I should test it a bit more, and now it crashes after the second turn when my capitol rebels. There is no logic in this CTD. It worked with another map I had using the exact same files, except that this map is smaller (fewer regions), so I've no idea what would cause a problem now.
