    Default Canīt play custom battles

    I canīt play custom battles since i installed the magnus mundus map on a basic and stable modfolder and let it run through the bi.exe.
    I can start the campaign and i even can fight battles within the campaign. I just canīt play custom or historical battles...
    What could be the problem???
    Thanks Sonny

    As much as I know about this mod ( it's an old one ) , I don't think that it's compatible with custom battles . Have you tried contacting the guys that developed it ?
    This mod almost exclusively focuses on the Provincial Campaign for single player.

    Thanks for the answer. I read somewhere that the developer is not active anymore...
    Letting it run through the rtw.exe works... but i need it with the bi.exe (shield_wall etc.) ...

    Try the Solvo Populus mod, then.

    Found it. Thank you, but that is not what i am looking for. Actually iīm working on a private mod. I want to include the graeco-bactrians as well as the indo-greeks. So the magnus mundus map is necessary (imperium parsa ll. would be even better, but i donīt know how to port it). Plus i need the shield wall option and other bi stuff for historical accuracy especially when it comes to greeks vs. hellenistic diadochis.
    Since iīm planning to implement new units it would be important for me to have the custom battles working...

    Find Lusted's Terrae Expugnandae and you're there. It uses Mundus Magnus map along with his tweaks on the game and Solvo Populus is the bi.exe version.

    The best I can say is use it as a reference on how to port it.
    If you can split the screen like comparing text files, compare TE's folders and SP's folders to see which files changed. Then you have a fair idea of what files and folder you need from the BI folder to port to your mod. If you do that, your shield wall can be used.

    Ah ok iīll give it a try... but is there really no way to do custom battles in mundus magnus running through bi.exe. It is now even possible for me to fight in shield_wall option during a battle in campaign. I just canīt do custom battles. No CTDīs it just wonīt load and goes back to the menu...

    It's been too long since I tried it. Check the entries in the EDU. There maybe a line or an attribute that needs tweaking.

    I checked the EDU, but since Iīm not getting CDTīs I donīt get error messages so itīs almost impossible to find the problem. Thank you anyway...

    Itīs working!!! I had to rename the mundus_magnus file in bi\data\world\maps\campaign into barbarian_invasion and edit the necessary text files in bi\data\text...
    Thanks for all the suggestions anyway
