I 'll choose my army and the ai's army then click the start battle button, then the battle loads but when i see my army they have no ground under them only a black void. in about two second M2tw ctds and says its encountered an "unspecified error....."

3. edited export_descr_unit

i tried switching to my backup export_descr_unit but it still ctds
