does anyone know if the ctd happens with mercenary elephant artilary or is it specific to the timurids?

i.e has anyone fought an army with merc elephant artilary and experienced the ctd?

There are elephant artillery mercs? Oh no, and I thought I got rid of this unit but erasing them from the exp_descr_buildings.txt...

Mercs...guess I need to erase them out of the campaign map --> descr_strat.txt, right?

only if the cause the ctd - i am also wondering if i need to mod them out.

i am doing it by replacing their unit description with that of normal elephant mercs

In my Turkish campaign, I use a unit of Elephant Artillery mercs in my Italian armies. I've fought at least 5 battles with them and haven't had a CTD yet. Though I heard that it only CTDs when fighting units of ele arty that are damaged and not at full strength, and I haven't lost any of my elephants yet, so I'm not sure if it's relevant.

Okay I just got this damn crash. My merc ellies got hit and one died. Next battle started normal,ended normal. Next battle..BOOM CTD wtf!!

Damn it I wonder if I can retrain merc elephants?

you probably can but will nedd to go t otthe region you recruited them.

a worK round would be to disband the unit and then add it back using

create_unit (city name) "Elephant Artillary"

(NOT SURE ON SPELLING)

Gah I can't retrain my elle arties. I really don't like the idea of disbanding them coz those ellies are all silver chevrons and above. Plus they have been decimating the Timurids. I can't seem to win any battles against them without these buggers. Call me a lousy commander but I loved using elephant heavy armies back during R:TW. Nothin like 19 Armored Elephants and one 10 star general to completely kill any Roman fools.

Disband your elephants and add them back in at full strength with "create_unit".

Tried the code but it doesn't but get command error message. Can someone give me an exact code? The settlement example can be Tbilisi or Trebizond and the unit is obviously Elephant Artillery.
