The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

I'm a little confused how we can lure them out if they can't move. I know the rebel generals in cities have traits that make them immovable (and unbribable).

I am currently installing PE 1.4 and seeing if I can play out the rhegium save on that, save again and go back to 1.5.

EDIT: no, it still crashes. Autoresolving seems to be the only option left.

There is the possibilty of waiting for Rhegium to be taken over by another faction and luring them out. It is of course theoretical in the current scenario. I was able to play the battle at Rhegium by intalling RTRPE 1.4 and the previous M&N mod. It seems the new install contains the critical flaw as well. I see you have reacted to my posts in tech support about this, good work.

Can you play out "my" battle at Rhegium on your 1.4 install, DDW? ie download the rhegium.zip and fight the battle manually? Or are you referring to your own earlier battles at Rhegium.

If you can play out "my" battle, you might try doing that, saving it as rhegium2.zip and uploading it. I could try to play on from there. What do you think?

Autoresolve is brutal, although if we have to go that route, I would bring up more men before doing it. I don't think we can wait for another faction to take it - they are too weak, in my experience.

I agree Rhegium must be taken one way or the other. I am an idiot

as I realise that I've overwritten the 'previous' M&N mod with the new one. Still, I will give it a try anyway and see what happens.

It's ok - DDW - don't worry about it. I don't think my save will work on an older install of MN. It did not work for me anyway. I can take Rhegium by autoresolve and it's not so painful. I think I will do that.

Too late now, I already did it

The trick ended up being only RTR 1.4 and M&N, NOT the updates. Adding the updates causes the CTD at Rhegium. I lost 44 men and rhegium2.zip is available in the upload directory. I am a tiny bit worried about savegame compatibility, so I advise you to load, then save again immediately, quit the game and load it again. That should probably clear up any hidden problems.
By the way, it seems someone has gotten the 'Favour of the Gods' ! *Insane jealousy carefully hidden*.
