YOUR Captain-led armies & the Reinforcement CTD bug

Forget that.

I just started a game as Makedonia, Kull. I killed off two family members, leaving only 1, and a daughter elligable for marriage, meaning that i get a proposal literally every turn because i have only 1 family member. I have this save game, the Greeks are sieging Korinthos and i have an army stood outside, all captain led. I ended my turn, they attacked me and my army from Korinthos was drawn in as reinforcements, i fought the battle and won a heroic victory, had no CTD, and then on my turn i got a candidate for adoption.

Do you want this save?

Excellent idea! And yes, please provide the save game!

It is with the 0.74 patch and the traits patch that was released on April 1st.

Just end your turn and the Greeks will attack the army thet is sat outside Korinthos, which will bring the garrison from the city into battle as reinforcements and so you have 3 captain led armies. Then, on the next turn you will get a candidate for adoption since all but 1 family members are dead.

I won a heroic victory and went on to get a candidate for adoption on my turn with no CTD.

Traits Patch? The only one I know of was specifically designed to eliminate the awarding of most traits, thereby (hopefully) rendering the Reinforcement CTD all but impossible to get. If that's what you are using, your tests are not going to provide the results we'd expect from a typical v.74 installation.

No, there was another traits patch released by Malrubius on April 1. I haven't downloaded it because I'd have to restart campaigns, but its on the first page or two of the forum.

Actually, it was several pages back. here's a link (I hope): link

Looks like the joke was on me.

Gahhh. Save games are not compatible, which means updating my v.74 in order to test your file......hmmmm. I'll try it anyway, and if no dice I'll have to create a new v.74b version for this kind of testing.
