I think it may help you look up the error message again and post it first

error message says Medieval 2 total war encountered an unspecified error and will now exit

[LuckyNinja]

that's helpful

[KingLeonidas300]

that's helpful

well he asked what the error message was, what else am i going to write?

[LuckyNinja]

No, no. I'm saying its helpful, because it tells us that there's something wrong with your medieval 2 and that its unspecified

[KingLeonidas300]

No, no. I'm saying its helpful, because it tells us that there's something wrong with your medieval 2 and that its unspecified

o then im sorry bout that then lol

[KingLeonidas300]

yeap i need some help lol still get that error saying medieval 2 tw has encountered and unspecidfied error and will now exit everytime i correctly use battle editor. im just not sure what the problem might be. it is a siege battle and my other siege battle map i downloaded from another user worked perfectly its just my battles that seem to crash out.

Your error log... go to your error log under Medieval II Total War/logs and open it...
PS: I think there might be a tutorial for the mod workshop on this, also if you're using the additional units mod that might be the problem (I have a really bad headache so I'm forgetting why exactly). Mmmm other problems might include lack of a battle map (you have to specify coordinates, if they don't exist then that would cause a crash) and um, besides that I'd check to make sure all your standard custom battles are working.

Nothing in the log? If not I suggest posting your file here and somebody (maybe me if I get time) will get around to seeing the problem.

I'm no expert, but the problem seems to be a building that shouldn't exist being used for Mordor and OOTMM.

[miniwally]

yh earls stables not allowed for thos efactions so those buildings on the batles won't work

[KingLeonidas300]

yh earls stables not allowed for thos efactions so those buildings on the batles won't work

ah thats probably why, i was using a building for the battle

[gaunty14]

I recieved the same error, but on a custom battle,Silvan elves vs OOFTM on hills of the riddernmark (?) just a normal open battle, no settlement
I also have darthmod, real combat (additional units) and visual improvements if that makes a difference

This is the problem, you need to remove stables from the buildings in the castle.
