    how would you be in the middle of a turn without activating the script? thats always the first thing you do whenever you load up a game..or bad things happen otherwise.

    It is not possible to activate the script when there is a pre-battle or post-battle screen up. Which is the case if you load a game that was saved during any AI faction's turn (ie the AI attacks you during it's turn -> you save game before entering the battle or withdrawing. You can also save right after the battle, IF it was a siege that led to you capturing a settlement)

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    You can quicksave in the pre-battle and similar interactive screens AFAIK. Kinda exploity of course and bound to cause some difficulties with script activation...

I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    In my case, it wasn't to exploit. I was just tired to fight the same battle 2-3 times in a row, win it exactly the same manner 2-3 times and having the game CTD on me when I went to get the town.

    On the positive side, I'm an expert in sorties battles now.

    After extensive testing this week end, I can tell with certitude that it's a code 14 bug. It doesn't happens when the script is activated. I'm sorry about the oulabaloo.

    The story's lesson: Don't buy ATI video cards. They suck and they make you do stupid things like loading games during an eleutheroi turn so your script isn't activated when you take a town.

    Don't blame the ATI card for saving during an AI turn...


    On the other note, he's right. Don't buy ATI cards, they suck.

    I do that sometimes. If I have to fight multiple large battles in one sitting, my computer might crash. It's not very good

    Thanks Conqueror, you explain clearly what I wanted to say!
