Bug list

[Mocha]

Hello,
my 2.4 game crashs in the 1400 campaign at the Lithuania turn.
I play with Eastern Rom and and the two bugfixes were installed.
Here is the log.

It would be nice if somebody can help me.

Can you save your game the turn before the crash and upload the save file to rapidshare (I need it for testing purposes).

Your save files are located in the 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\eras\saves' folder.

Here is the savegame http://rapidshare.com/files/151486456/03.sav.html.

Maybe it is a problem that I use the german version?

Some other rather unusual behaviour in game:

1) No music plays on the campaign map as Wales.
2) Also, they have no family tree. Is this because they use the Teutonic Order's slot? It doesn't have any effect on gameplay I guess, but I noticed it...
3) I couldn't call a crusade on the Cuman Khanate (1200), even though they're a muslim faction...is crusade-able factions restricted to the Holy Land and any excommunicated factions? Maybe this is simply a vanilla gameplay element I hadn't noticed before (in which case ignore it :P )
4) I spotted some more units with weirded cards/unit preview pics. Will get the list soon.

Mocha I'm trying to find the cause of the crash. So far I've ruled out guilds, traits, ancillaries, and the campaign script. I don't think I've come across this bug before.


1) This is a bug, I'll have to look into it (I probably forgot to add them to the 'eras\data\world\maps\base\descr_sounds_music_types.txt'.

2) Wales does not have a family tree because the High King of Wales was not an heraditory title (in many cases it was awarded post humorously).

3) Crusades can only be called against regions that have a high Catholic Christian population but are not controlled by an Christian faction or are controlled by an excommunicated Christian faction. Also some regions have the a 'crusade' hidden resource, which allows you to call crusades against them regardless of how Christian they are. Try sending some priests to one of the Cuman Khanate's regions to make it more Christian.

4) Awaiting the list.

Oh, additional: Noticed many factions have their campaign map flags all swap-changed everywhere.

F'rinstance:

Ireland have a Rebel crossed-swords flag. The Eastern Roman Empire have the Irish Harp, some Rebel armies bear a red Templar-like cross.

And ahh, didn't know that about 2 and 3. Thanks :) Will get back to you sometime today about the unit cards. I'm going to start a campaign as every faction to try find them. :P

Also, Diplomats sometimes gain a trait called User of Religion when they're trained near a Merchants' Guild. I get the feeling the names are crossed, since the actual trait involves a 10% cost to bribe (can Diplomats even be bribed?).

Also, found out that Ayyubid Sudanese Tribesmen and the HRE's Germanic Sergeant Spearmen are invisible in battle - you can see the Sudanese Tribesmen's shadows, but their bodies aren't there. The GSS don't even have shadows.

Hokai, here is your list of what I got so far:

1200 Campaign:
Welsh Skirmishers (as mentioned previously) have no unit card or unit description pic - they use the RTW peasant placeholder.
Meirionnydd Spearmen - Unit Description picture only (the unit card pic is ok)

Also, a Venetian cardinal spawns in Florence region, which is HRE controlled in this campaign.

1300
English Levy Spearmen have no unit card pic. They are also, strangely, weaker than the European Spear Militia...which doesn't make a lot of sense considering that Levy Spearmen are trained from castle.
European Merchant Cavalry Milita have no unit card or description pic.

Empires Campaign
Kalmar Union Sword-Staff Militia have no unit card or description pic.
Sufavids Dynasty faction profile speaks of a rocket launcher, but isn't one.


Also experienced a strange crash mid-battle against the HRE. They had a spear-heavy army (mostly european spearmen and militia, with a couple of peasant archers). My army was comprised of albanian cavalry, bulgar brigands and peasant archers, and lots of spearmen. I've used this army before without trouble and the battle started without incident. I was just running some troops to flank and the game decided to go nuts. Probably JOOTT but thought I'd mention. No units seemed to be missing their models either. The battle occurred just north of Pest, on a very craggy terrain with a henge on it.

Hm, seems I've hit a crashy bug on this turn. It happens when the Rebels faction logo is displayed in the AI turns.

I have created a rapidshare link with system.log.txt and my savegame as I'm unsure exactly what happened to cause it, or what was happening at the time. My guess is that a rebel settlement got captured.
