Ya know what, thanks for all your troubles! Problem solved!!
Well, not actually solved but you were right, it is RTW with some new features. Looking through the forums made me think it wasn't possible but it is; it's just with the BI.exe it gives smarter AI (it is harder to be outlawed but it still happens). All i did was, for an hour or so, start a campaign and walk around with my diplomat bribing entire regions with my Force Diplomacy script (I'm no cheater I just use it when the AI would rather not exist then submit) until I got around 65 or 70, checked my senate stats until my popularity with the plebs was 2nd from top, then attacked rome with a spawned onager and auto-won it (didn't want to take risk of another CTD later in the game). Senate destroyed, got the win movie too. Also, when I attacked the Senate I was outlawed with NO CTD.
Again, I appreciate your patience on my ignorance.
