M2TW Kingdoms suddenly closes?

[moonstrike02]

this is very odd whenever i try to attack the mongol invasion the game suddenly closes without giving me a error message

i got game version 1.3

i play with Spain my computer specs are

Core2Duo e6600 @ 3.6GHZ (water cooled)
Evga 680i
Evga Geforce 8800GTX (SLI)
Windows vista home premium

anyone has any clue even when i play with another faction this happens

That is a known problem with the 'cannon elephants' - the game will crash if they are in a battle. Only solution is to autoresolve.
For a new game take them out of the script file. Look for this entry Elephant Artillery and put a semi colon ( ; ) in front of the line - that way the game will not read the info in that line. Do for all entries. Remember: this will only work for a new game, in your present game you will have to autoresolve battles with those units.
