I made the senate playable and...

[I Like Rome]

i made the senate playable in rome total war and when i clicked on the senate button it crashed does anyone else had this happen to them. i just want to know if it's my computer or if it's the fact that the senate has to set the stuff in the senate page

[Genius of the Restoration]

That happens when you click the senate button if you're playing them, they're not supposed to be played and all. The game is a bit buggy with them, so be careful!

[I Like Rome]

ok

[HanatielHawk]

The game is even more buggy when you play the rebels But indeed do never click the Senate button or type ";" when you play the senate or else you'll get a ctd (crash to desktop)

[Genius of the Restoration]

It's strange, I've read this a lot about the rebels being buggy, but I never had any trouble with them myself. What's supposed to happen?

every settlement is meant to rebel, and become rebels, then you will see Spartacus coming out of your computer screen, shouting "I....... am Spartacus." Then, you'll get speared in the stomach, and the game will CTD, with the spikes of the spear still in you.


THEN,

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

you will wake up, and think it was all a nightmare

[Bow-wow-wow]

Yeah Senate and rebels arn't meant to be playable. It is possible that it will work when you click on them but it will most likely just crash.

Nah, I can play with both Senate and Rebels but it's just a bit buggy. Rebels because they have a huge disadvantage with money and a "scatterd empire" also you can just put the tax high even if PO is onder 75% because rebels can't rebel And the spawn system can be usefull, but also unusefull. Also diplomacy is disabled. It's just a kind of death match.

Senate's only problems are with the houses and with the Senate button.
My game never crashed because I selected them to play so I think it's your computer

Yay you can't go to the senate tab while playing as them because you are them.Also the other Romans can attack you from turn 1 so be careful.

Which they won't because they are inferior to the senate's position. Unless they are very very strong so they would revolt against the senate (outlawed) they will NOT attack you. Nevertheless YOU can attack them without having enough popularity tih the people.

[n00b]

It even says they're not playable when you select them as your faction, so just dont play them.

[Tay333]

Really HanatielHawk that's weird since when I played as them I was attacked on the 2nd turn.Glitch?

[Lucarius]

That's True n00b
but if you plas as Macedon or any other "not playable faction" these factions don't give an Error. (or other problems)

Thats because they are supposed to be played but TCA did just not put them into the unlockable/playable section. Rebels and the Senate are "special" factions because the Senate holds a special position for the roman campaigns and the rebellions for all campaigns. It's just a bit not programmed right.

the senate is epic, cause their citys carn't revolt

Serious? I thought only the rebellion-cities could not revolt.
