Fair enough, but couldn't you give a pointer as to how we could even retro fit the castles?

I know its a workaround, but it would be better than nothing.

For a player, like me, it took a grand total of 60-75 minutes to discover this bug. I'm just thinking how long it might take a game tester to find it.

How come it can't be fixed by modding ?

Because it's not possible to do. Putting the stone fort files in the fort folder results in a crash that cannot be go around.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I've make the top-left and bottom-left one functional in battle maps already!

EXCELLENT!

Did the others work if you replace them over wooden ?

Great fix but I'm afraid I have no experience with modding, apart from an old failed attempt, and so don't know what an io switch is, can someone explain this please?

Unfortunately, no. I tried to replace the wooden fort. and I even made it a real stone one when adding the "woodden fort" in descr_strat.txt. But when it is built by a general I get a CTD when entering the battle screen.

There must be some key files that we don't know yet.

I remembered that someone said it is possible to replace woodden fort with the small woodden castle, etc. Please give me some tips.
