Ive installed this mod with a few others and when i start the game it gets to the first loading screen and goes back to the desktop, any ideas?

This mod is an altered edu file with the units avaible ingame declared. As you say you're playing this mod along some other's I'd guess the game's CTD means somewhere it's called to spawn units edu doesn't have.

Please go ahead and post what is said when you start the game with the command line parameter "-show_err".

@ Keifer
Is this meant to be used with the vanilla version of Rome?

thanks for the reply Marcellus Trajanus.

What ive actually done is edited myown export_descr_unit.txt and changed the recruitment and upkeep costs so that it works with my current mods. it's pretty easy if you look at the instructions at the top if you will.

; stat_cost Number of turns to build,
; Cost of unit to construct
; Cost of upkeep
; Cost of upgrading weapons
; Cost of upgrading armour
; Cost for custom battles

all you need to do is change the 2nd and 3rd number on the particular unit for the stat_cost line from

type barb peasant briton
dictionary barb_peasant_briton ; Barbarian Peasants
category infantry
class light
voice_type Light_1
soldier barb_peasant, 60, 0, 0.7
attributes sea_faring, hide_improved_forest
formation 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 2.4, 6, horde
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 1, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, knife, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 3, 1, 0, leather
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 2, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental 0, low, untrained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 1, 100, 20, 30, 150
ownership britons

This makes the particular unit cost 1 Denarii to build and cost 1 denarii for upkeep in each turn.

its as simple as that

Thanks anyway
