Grrr, stupid CTD!

No possible revolts that I know, no scripts and, opposed to my bad habit of not doing enough backups, I have the good one of always deleting map.rwm.

I'll restore tomorrow original traits and ancillaries and see but I don't think that's the problem. I rechecked the files and only made some very minor changes there.

Anyways, I will try that. It's a very minor effort compared with what I've already done trying to hunt down this bug.

Oh, and played one game on -ai (thanks, didn't know of that switch) and apparently no crash, although the ai was defeated in 244 BC, lol.

When I play I use to crash around 256 BC or so.

I'll keep in contact. Thanks again, guys.

check the rebel-factions/faction-creator in descr_regions, if you and only you cause a crash than its probably some sort of UI matter (as in "you scroll over ..."), try setting like all rebels/owners to the same rebels/faction(any faction you know is in the game!)

test if it still happens than ... (just a (wild) guess, but faction-creator and rebels caused me similair problems wich I never have been able to fully pin down)

Thank you, thank you everyone, I got it! w00t!

Maka was right: Traits or ancillaries.

I reverted export_descr_ancillaries, export_descr_ancillary_enums, export_ancillaries, export_descr_character_traits, export_descr_VnVs_enums & export_VnVs to the originals and no more CTD!!!

Now I have to track it down and I will post what was exactly the cause.

EUREKA!!!

From the sounds of the error, you probably have two triggers with the same name, this can cause an errorless CTD when one of them is tested.

Solved!

The bug was caused by two ancillaries I had not included in text/export_ancillaries.txt: priest_of_Neptune2 and priest_of_Poseidon2.

And the CTD only happened to me with the greek_cities because thats the only faction with whom I build this kind of temple.

Thanks for all the help and for pointing possible solutions. While looking for the cause of this CTD sure I fixed tons of things!

Well, back to mod until the next crash!
