    Default Create a rebel general?

    Here's what I'd like to do: Remove a province from a faction, give it to the rebels, remove the faction's starting units and family member from that province, create a new rebel general with his own potrait and custom bodyguard (drawing upon models already in game).

    I've swapped the province fine. The problem is in creating the new rebel general. I've got a custom name for him, and at first he wasn't appearing at all. Then I added it to descr_names and names.txt, but he still wasn't showing up. Then I switched him to 'family member' and it kind of worked by creating a general - just with no name. After going through descr_names and names.text again to make sure the custom name is in there, the game now crashes when loading the campaign.

    Where am I going wrong?

    Here's the line in descr_strat:

    character sub_faction england, Earendur, family member, male, age 41, x 113, y 234 ;cardolan
    army
    unit Dismounted Nazgul exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

    Try this:
    Code:
    character	sub_faction england, Earendur, named character, male, age 41, x 113, y 234 ;cardolan

    TNZ is correct and it also needs a traits line under character (AFAIK), DisposableHero.

    But if it's failing to launch a campaign, the first thing you do is check your log
