    probably is the infamous quotes bug. Try to delete (or better, rename) these files:

    descr_quotes_lookup.txt
    descr_transition_screen.txt

    located into ...\Rome - Total War\IJ\data folder, and

    quotes.txt

    located into ...\Rome - Total War\IJ\data\text folder

    you could try to delete first the files and then if the CTD happens again reinstall, it can save you some time .

    The problem itself is very odd since I don't know any mod other than IBFD that have this bug. I'm starting to think that is somewhat related to the structure of the modfoldered installation. Anyway, if the problem won't be solved in time for the next version my idea is to have the quotes as an optional install...better a stable game than the additional historical flavour that the quotes provide.

    I think what also is different is that with RTW mods the quotes files that are altered are in the RTW data folder, whereas for the IB mods these files are contained within their own data folder. I think you may be right about the structure of the mod folders. One solution may be to copy and paste the revised quotes files into the RTW data folder then delete these files in the IB folder.

    If somebaody can try this it would be interesting to see if this corrects the problem.

    beatoangelico, perhaps you could try this with the new revised quotes that I provided you.

    Cheers

    yes it could indeed be the key...tomorrow I will try. I had the idea when I saw that Arthurian TW, BI-based but not modfoldered, places the quotes files precisely in data\text and not bi\data\text

    Edit: Everything is fine now, it seems I didnt waited for the DOS to finish during installation, so I reinstalled and it works fine. Looks great!
