if you added a new .cas e.g. fancy_general.cas
check what default texture that is looking for - if it isn't one of the ones you already listed and included then you will need to add the named texture it wants to the folder as well

where did you put Effect Level 2
and what else did you do about that - if you added new trait then it needs new entry in the data/text files.

Is there a hard coded limit on how many different strat models one can have per faction?
In the fellowship campaing of TATW for example, the fellowship faction has eleven different strat models plus two for spies.

Can a faction have for example 20 named characters with different strat models?

Yes there is a limit, every character who can have traits can have max 10 models for him\her.

Now I think I got confused!

The following is from the TATW descr_character.

faction timurids
dictionary 2
strat_model eriador_general
strat_model theoden ; heir
strat_model frodo ; leader
strat_model faramir
strat_model sam
strat_model aragorn
strat_model gandalf
strat_model gandalf_white
strat_model legolas
strat_model gimli
strat_model boromir
;strat_model theoden
battle_model eriador_general
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

If I get it right, you can have one strat model for generals (eriador_general) and another 10 strat models through a trait. For example Aragorn gets the 5th strat model, because his trait Effects Level 5:

Trait Aragorn2
Characters family

Level Aragorn2
Description Aragorn2_desc
EffectsDescription Aragorn2_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect Command 3
Effect Loyalty 6
Effect Authority 3
Effect Attack 4
Effect TroopMorale 2
Effect HitPoints 12
Effect PersonalSecurity 2
Effect Level 5
Effect MovementPoints 10
Effect BattleSurgery 20

If I added Glorfindel's strat model like this

faction timurids
dictionary 2
strat_model eriador_general
strat_model theoden ; heir
strat_model frodo ; leader
strat_model faramir
strat_model sam
strat_model aragorn
strat_model gandalf
strat_model gandalf_white
strat_model legolas
strat_model gimli
strat_model boromir
strat_model glorfin
;strat_model theoden
battle_model eriador_general
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

I would get a ctd, right?

Is there no way to bypass this?

Yes you're correct in the above part the additional levels go from theodon to boromir, which are 10 after that the another model is commented out by a semi colon ";".

About the second part you can do it, you won't get a CTD iirc, it simply won't be acknowledged and the strat model won't change, it will show the name something like EMT_character_11 something but the model will remain the same due to hardcoded limit.
