One last question

Hi, Forum

Since SPQR seems to be a really stable mod of RTW, is it possible to save a game BEFORE a battle in the AI-turn (by pressing ESCAPE when the “Battle Deployment Window” appears) and then upload the save and continue at this point later?
When the save game has been loaded, the same “Battle Deployment Window” appears and by pressing ESCAPE/? it should be possible to activate the script before the battle is fouht and, thus, everything should be fine and it should be no corrupted save the next time. Am I right?
In other mods saves before a battle almost always cause a CTD… but due to my family-duties I have rarely the time to fight 4 or 5 battles at a stretch during the AI-turn!

There is no guarantee that this should work flawlessly and I've heard people talking about a risk of corruption, however, I've done this several of times and I've never had a problem with it.
I save inbetween battles due to the slight risk of a crash either after a battle or when capturing a town just to be on the safe side, I hate replaying battles...

i do this almost all the time, i vagely recall someone having issues with something like this and discovering as long as you play more than one turn when doing this that it is okay

although this never got confirmed, it seems to match my experiences

Thank you for your relative appeasing replies. In most cases I´m pinched for time and I only manage to fight 1 or 2 battles during the AI-turn; the remaining battles have to be postponed to a later point of time or even the next day and, thus, such saves during the AI-turn are essential for my game.
