Bugs, errors etc

[Dom9127]

Whilst playing the new repackaged version of 2.6 as the RK, I encountered a bizarre bug where I tried to merge two armies one consisted of four units of Dol Amroth Men at Arms and two Blackroot Vale Bowmen, whilst the other is shown in the 1st screen shot. However this resulted in the first Army disappearing, and being replaced by the enemy bronze chevroned General and the Flag Icon unit.

I was able to select the enemy General and move him out of the Army, and the next turn I attacked him. The unit with Flag UI card although having a RK bodyguard had the voice of the Adûnabâr bodyguard, and also led the Army the model for the existing General was grey.

When the battle ended RTW BI crashed, displaying the standard Vista "this program has stopped working message".

Other bugs, oversights etc

The building diversification screen mentions the "Rangers Hold" however it can only be constructed in provinces not on the map, is this in preparation for the next version? Will it be constructable in South Itihhilien also?

The first bug sounds weird. It is probably a one-time glitch, as I can't imagine what could cause the process of merging armies to get screwed and your general transforming into an enemy general. Can you upload a save-game before that happened so I can check it out?

Yes, the Ranger Hold will be there in the next version, but it will be for Rangers of the North, not Rangers of Ithilien, so it will be available only in Arnor.

The save game is around two turns before the event, I'll also upload the pictures which failed to be displayed.

Although the merging event is weird previously I had fought an enemy general which displayed only the Flag UI however the game crashed after I won the battle.

In your game, can you replicate the error (not the crash, the general turning into a banner)? Because I cannot.

[Dom9127]

So I loaded up the Save game and tried again, moved the same units out of Pelagir and in the gap between the turns they transformed into the Flag and Enemy General. I'm not sure if the presence of the Rohan Diplomat affected them though he did extend his scroll to them.

Gah, weird... I cannot see anything wrong with the game or the files, so this must be some strange glitch.

Try using the save-game before the transformation, and don't move anyone for that turn. Or move one guy out of a city (he'll be a lieutenant Herucalmo, probably) and then move him back to a settlement. And see if the transformation occurs then. If doing nothing or creating a lieutenant and then moving him back to a city don't work, you'll probably have to start a new campaign (sorry for that).

[Dom9127]

Keeping the units inside the city just results in the game crashing, however taking even a single one unit captain led army outside of a settlement or ship creates the Lieutenant Herucalmo and his enemy General sidekick. Still this results in the game crashing at the end of the turn or if he fights a battle or goes inside a City.

Maybe using the kill character command might work?

Other Bugs

Some of the traits don't seem to have effective anti-traits e.g Characters being Elven fair and Plain, Captain of Dol Amroth and Emyn Armyn

kill_character might work, but it requires a script to be used, it won't work through the console.

Captains of Dol Amroth/Emyn Arnen don't need to be anti-traits, as they are given once (when the generals are recruited) and don't change from that point on. Plain and Elven-fair should be anti-traits, thx for bringing it up.

[Dom9127]

Looks like I'll have to start a new campaign then. Shame because it was a good one, but thanks for your help, and keep making the mod great.
