Can you remember the ancillaries he has received recently? I see you mention "Auctoritas", but I can't see that in the files, the closest is Office of Censor, which includes the word.

As a workaround, move him out of Rome (using the Army tab), then do what recruitment you need to do and put him back in.

Thanks, Bovi. I'll try to find some way to move him out of the city.

I told you the way to move him out of the city... Use the Army tab.

No offense intended, Bovi.

However, clicking on the Army tab also results in a CTD. I'm very tempted to start a new campaign, and move him out of the city at the very beginning.

I could move him by
*click once on the settlement
*click once on the Army tag
*click once on the guy's portrait
*move him somewhere with a right-click in a green area

If this crashes on your computer, I have no idea why.

Tried them all! However, I "bit the bullet" and went to an earlier save (Winter, 272), and moved him out of Roma immediately. I've since been able to play up to Winter of 269, have taken Taras, and have Bononia under siege.

I'm also going to do a complete search of a very large harddrive for any remnant of BI (as Narhon said). There could be something out there that caused the problem in the first place.

Thanks for you patience!
