Known issues- please read!!!!!!!
When you click too many times in the icons from the imperial campaign menu (when you are selecting the faction you want to play), you will have a CTD
If you enter on the imperial campaign menu and then return to the custom battles, you will have a CTD. The inverse situation has the same problem, i.e., if you select the “custom battle” menu and return to the “imperial campaign” menu, you will have a CTD.
Compatibility with other mods
Some files need to go to the main data folder and they will probably interfere with other mods that you have installed. If you want to play with other mods remove the following folders from the main data folder:
-data/ banners
-data/models_strat
-data/ui
Then, when you want to play with Portvcale, put those files again in the data folder.
