    doublecheck you have added new regions correctly into:
    data/text/campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
    &
    In data/world/maps/campaign/campaign into:
    descr_regions.txt
    descr_strat.txt &
    descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt

    Region names are case sensitive and generally need _ instead of space between words, follow existing format in files (region name and not city name is needed in descr_strat).

    If you are replacing an existing region you also should check if old one appears in
    descr_mercenaries.txt or
    descr_win_conditions.txt but that doesn't sound like the right type of error.

    Only other one for new regions I remember is I think someone reported that certain RGB colours don't work (don't know what message that generated though).
    (EDIT: am assuming you have added new regions with unique colour in map_regions.tga)

    Ive been told it might be a prob with the '...regions_and_settlements'. Is there any perticular way to put it in there?

    The one in data/text uses the squiggly brackets you just follow what is above
    i.e.
    {Cyrenaica} Cyrenaica
    {Cyrene} Cyrene
    {Region_name} tab tab tab In game region name
    {City_name} tab tab tab In game city name

    Bit in brackets must tie up with spelling etc in descr_regions.txt, text outside bracket can be whatever you want to appear in game

    descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt
    just uses:
    Cyrenaica
    Cyrene
    Region_name
    City_name

    again that is names as used in descr_regions.txt
    NB: You need a different name for the region than that used for the city.

    If that is all OK - silly thought - I wonder if it minds having number in region name, maybe try Test_A instead.
