It will still happen, but i didn't do all that work just to abandon it - i just thought i couldn't get past the CTD and so decided to move on. But i tried again at fixing the slightly older 4.7 and completing it. It required some additional work.
I still have 4.8 complete where it not for an unfinished EDB and portraits that i could easily copy from 4.7 - i just need to fix the CTD there too.
It adds alot of minor houses units - plus animations from Warhammer for Dragons and stuff.
I will probably start implementing units to ADOS monday.
