FIXED IT, the problem was the unit swordsman militia was corrupted and crashed the game.

[AJStoner]

Yes, a model was left out for Scotland (Swordsman Militia) that didn't show up in testing because of the weird cross-checking M2TW does if you have multiple unpacked game modes. If you go to the main download page you will find a link for a file which can be dropped in to correct this.

will this work with my current save? and where is the fix? all i see is chatter

[thedudeabudes]

Currently also wondering where the fix is because there is no file to download.

[Kaiser Leonidas]

I honestly don't know where the patch is. This issue seems to have come up quite a lot but the link only ever goes to some posts in a thread so I don't really know.

[thedudeabudes]

I'm also getting what I've read is some people get the crash around turn 33/34. I wonder when the next update will be and hopefully it fixes it. I prefer to play this over unmodded campaign due soley because of how crappy Rome, Medieval and I'm not sure if Empires and Napoleon has the crappy trait system of constant bad traits.

The file is actually in the bug thread "here be snakes" pg7 post 134

The download page link to the Scotland Hotfix has been repaired. Sorry about that but I don't have internet access where I am living now and so I only get online when I can head into town.
