Aedui Taras CTD

**Giuliano Taverna** · April 25, 2008, 11:55 AM

I am playing as the Aedui and every time I take taras as soon as the flag is placed on the settlement it crashes, this has happened 3 times. The first was auto calculated, the second was a successful siege assault, and the third was an auto win auto calc., (I got tired of fighting the same battle since I already won!) anyway, something is clearly wrong, any ideas?

Try a force diplomacy for the city. Just an idea. -Leon

That's not going to work...

Well perhaps you can post your save game, and i myself try with force diplomacy. If it does not CTD, i will simply repost it for you. -Leon

I was hoping it was something obvious enough that I wouldn't have to, but here it is.

Well i loaded the game, i did auto_win for taras, no crash. Apparently after you take the city, the roman faction died. So that might cause it. So i did not use force diplomacy, so ill re-upload. -Leon

P.S.
I killed the city population in my test, so just to let you know. Sorry if you did not want that. I still have your original save incase youd like me to take it another way.

No that's fine, (I was either going to do that or enslave them anyway.) thank's hopefully I can use this.

**Giuliano Taverna** · April 29, 2008, 05:30 PM

Well that didn't work, I put that save file right in my EB saves directory, and when I clicked on it in the load campaign menu it began to load with the Gaul icon, but then the icon disappeared and it went back to the previous screen, what the heck?!

and I tried my old save again, the same thing happened. it crashed as soon as I won.

What is wrong with my game?

Im not 100% sure, i do play using the alexander exe instead, so not sure if that is it. -Leon

**Giuliano Taverna** · April 29, 2008, 07:23 PM

That's probably it, because I am using plain Rome total war for my base.

**Giuliano Taverna** · May 04, 2008, 09:05 AM

Well I figured out how to get forced diplomacy to work and I made the Romans protectorate so I could go on conquering other things.

I haven't tried taras since, but eventually I am going to need to take it. (I have completely surrounded roman territory and there is no one else to kill them off.

Any way, here is my latest's save if anyone wants to try taking taras perhaps you can figure out what is wrong with my game, as indicated above I am using RTW as my base, not BI or Alexander.

Was the Taras under any faction controlled or under the freeman? Even without force diplomacy you can ask the faction to give the settlement with some exchanged conditions.

**Giuliano Taverna** · May 10, 2008, 09:26 AM

No I can't. Its the capital of the Romani.

**Korlon** · May 10, 2008, 10:35 AM

Bah, I was meaning to try out this save earlier, much earlier. Apparently, I forgot about it. Let's see it now...

I used regular RTW to play this one. Took about two years or so (an hour). Did some stuff while I moved characters towards Rhegion and Taras. So, check out everything.
