i need help with making western rman rebels playaable

[Byzantine Mercenary]

hey, ive made western roman rebels playable, given them two regions (the two western roman provinces in africa) and got rid of dead until reserected in descr strat.

Ive given them a map and descriptions. They work and i can play a campaign as them the only problem is that as i get further into the game it starts crashing, with increaseing frequency until its compleately unplayable, campaigns as other factions work fine it seems to be just the western rebels that cause this problem, any idea what the cause might be?

Have you changes descr_sm_factions.txt? You'll need to delete the shadowing effect ie:
empire_west, shadowed_by empire_west_rebels
&
empire_west_rebels, shadowing empire_west

There may be other bits as well, I haven't personally tried this.

nope maybe thats the problem, it won't even let me load that game now!

what does the shadowing affect do? is it what makes rebeling western roman cites turn over to the eastern romans?

Sorry don't understand, do you mean you can't start a new campaign, or that you can't load your saved game?

Shadowing makes western roman rebels take over western roman cities if they rebel, ie. that is what causes them to be 'resurrected' in the original game. I had assumed your crash was to do with western roman city rebelling, and triggering shadowing effect.

When did your crashes occur? (ie. please specify: on AI go, loading battles, moving over strat map, etc.)

[Byzantine Mercenary]

i meant the load game, the crashes occured at random times on the campaign map, they became more and more common as the game progressed untill it was crashing so often that i couldn't even load the game. i had already recieved some rebelling western roman provinces and and i think i had lost some to the western empire through rebelion when the crashing started
