Unable to hire an allied general

[Boriak]

I play with Ptolemaioi and have just conquered Meroe, Kush province. I made a Type IV Government but am unable to hire a general that would be governor there.

Where can I get a general to govern that province?

[athanaric]

Import one. Meroe and Axum don't have Allied Generals. Dito for Sind and parts of Arabia.

[Boriak]

I have no other Type IV government city.

See this thread for further information.

Iamphet describes in his posts how ot get around it.

What do you mean "hire allied general?"

[athanaric]

Type IV governments allow you to hire mercenary generals, which can turn into client rulers (with a big popularity boost, good for pacifying outlying regions) if you leave them in the city. They are not part of your royal family though.

Hmm, I've tried following the instructions in the quoted thread to get Hellenistic Mercenery General in the various cities missing recruitable generals, and EB crashes whilst starting (it doesn't even get to the opening "New Campagin", "Load Campaign", "Options" etc screen). Here is what I have placed at the very end of the \EB\Data\export_descr_buildings.txt file:

Can anyone see what I've got wrong? Should I include it in a certain section of the file, or is it OK to put it at the end?

Bumpity bump Mr. Bump! Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

To get allied generals for Kush and Diamat provinces I reconfigured Erythraia from Type 3 into Type 4 government and trained allied generals there.
