**Ashton** · February 06, 2010, 08:37 AM

I was trying to add a new faction, and when i finally did, this problem occured.
Every time a general is presented for an adoption, and i click yes, he instanly dies .
What's that ?

instantly = next turn?

No, when i click yes to screen that appears for the adoption.
He dies and then a screen appears telling me that he died in battle.

It happend to me before and I cracked my head finding a solution: You need to define a bodyguard unit for the faction you are adding so the general will be able to appear as a unit.

Gotta remember that one! Better add that to my tutorial.

Skeleton Of The West , you were right as soon as i defined bodyguard unit for the general's it was fixed. TY + Rep

Now i have another problem. When i go to family tree and cross my mouse over the faction leader the game crashes instantly.
The log does not show anything, it only says medieval ii crashed anything that i could consider changing.

Check expanded.txt in the text folder: you need a valid entry for FACTION_LEADER_TITLE, FACTION_HEIR_TITLE and FORMER_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE. The visible text can not be blank.

Check the tutorial in my sig: Adding a new Faction - it has a detailed documentation plus sample files. That way you shouldn't stumble from one pitfall to the next.
