Several sprites for units added soon before the release (of 1.1 ) were again forgotten, causing CTDs while loading battles. This fix will add the missing sprites and also fix another two errors in descr_model_battle.txt.
Download this file from the EB FTP, or if that fails, Rapidshare (who are quickly going to make themselves extinct by limiting to 10 downloads).
Unpack into <RTW directory>/EB/data.
If you already have them implemented, do you have some minimods installed?
CTD before battles are odd and almost ever linked to changed files, corrupted installation or the silly RTW-engine.
