i have every kinds of victories as well as every kinds of defeats, i tend to get clear victories, but have no problem getting an heroic victory...i use my general, if anything needs flanking or slaughter, i send him in, he usually fights as much as the rest of the soldiers, sometimes even more, i guess i fight battles like everyone else... in this build i always play as the romanii, and i have 3 officers per unit+general in the generals unit...in the end of battles i usually get anciliaries, like confident commander and stuff, but this CTD bug doesn't happen...my ancilliary file is the original 0.74 EB one so i don't understand why so many ppl have this issue, and somehow i never come across it...so if i play a version that is in it's source equal to everyone else's then i take it is an hardware issue or a conflict in the software...but at least im glad i don't get CTD's
