Possible CTD Source

Yeah, the end of spring is when eligibility is determined (> 20% MP remaining, not besieging or under siege, high natural energy, etc). Then at the end of summer, the results are determined.

Yeah, and fixing that should be savegame compatible, too.

Ah I thought so, the end of summer which are the resaults. Most of the CTD's I have been experiencing are with KH and A. Seleaukia at the end of summer....and almost at no other time. Now I have to load up the saves where I have recurring CTD and check it out.

I think this may clear up a significant number of CTDs, but I'm still getting the AI attempt to merge failure bug, where they move a captain/general on top of another and it CTDs. I have no idea what causes this.

THANK YOU! Your little fix just saved my Sweboz campaign. No more CTDs here, now I can go back to leading my barbaric alliance against the city dwelling people of the world.

Malrubius, I have to point out something that happened while continuing my Epeiros campaign. I managed to win the olympics with another character and everything seems to be working fine. I got the victory message and the +1 influence I think. But... I never had a message/trait before that telling me that he had entered the olympics. The only one I received was the victory trait. I know that with Ptolemaious I had recieved the message that he had entered the Olympics, and that was before I fixed the code in my game. Just wondering if there might be a connection. Thanks.

Edit: When I looked at his profile again I see both the entering of the olympics and the victory in the olympics message. I on't think generals new traits are always announced at the start of turns.

Yes, with this bug out of the way I seem to be able to load up most of the save games that had recurring CTD's and continue playing. So I have to say that this bug was the cause of most of the recurring CTD's. I managed to play from 243bc to 223bc in one sitting without a single CTD in a campaign that was riddled with them.
