hi there sorry for delay replying, work has kept me away. Ive copied all the bulid requirements, info pics etc, and the campagain runs fine, allowing me to bulid all the mods. It is only during the batttle that the castles are woring, Ive looked at the maps in both the battlemap folder and the battlemap\vikings folder and both appear to be names the same so everyone I try to copy gives a name conflict.

I found another post on this site that stated the castle map name format for example castleplains02_5_2.jjm the 5 means this is a map with a fortress on, so the campaign appears to have access to appropriate maps

I have checked the startpos file and there dosent seem to be any command line that inhibits the number of castle maps available.

This isnt really that big an issue as I can still show maps up to keep level, but it is the last piece i wanted tyo sort.

I have managed to make new factions, new units using custom animations (I have made some napoleonic units by using animations from the Lordz mod), and after all that this seems to be such a silly thing to get stuck on LOL

Devil is always inthe detail. If any of the custom suff is of intereast Im happy to mail it out to anyone,

If you can help with the castles, many thanks
