CTD and Mongol Invasion

[Zaale]

I don't know if it was an ancient thread. Wudan_Clong said, concerning the Mongol Invasion in 1219, to not save before the Mongols had taken both Bukhara and Samarkand. Is that correct or the script has been already updated?

OK, for Bukhara the thing is already done but Mongols went south and are now besieging Merv (that belongs to Seljuks), so I saved the game (I cannot play 4 hours waiting for the Mongols to go take a walk on the neighbourhoods of Samarkand).

If the info is obsolete (I cannot say for sure but I think it was a 2009 thread) When is it safe to save after the Mongol invasion?

Thx

It would be most safe to wait after Samarqand and Bukhara have been taken by the Mongols. There may be other circumstances in which the script is terminated, but I don't know which may those be.

Well, I assume they go for Samarkand after Merv then, they take a hell of a time, it's 1223 and still they are nowhere near Samarkand and I'm under attack fron Turks and Egyptians.

Something is going wrong here.

Mongols returned to Bukhara (now rebel) sacked again, then take a walk, them went back again to Bukhara to sacked in again. Go to take a look on the scripts

There's no need to checking the scripts. It's not scripted behaviour. They are just doing that on will. You can exploit it nicely, but if they have conquered Samarqand and Bukhara, the script should be terminated now and you can save safely.

By "taking a look" on the scripts I mean "check" the last Grandviz script on the CTD hunting, got a CTD yesterday on year 1225. Mongols went to Bukhara (Ghaznavids), go down to Merv (Seljuks), now they besiege Urgench (Khwarezn) and POF! CTD (see the cause of CTD, is the Byzantines turn, near Constantinople, one stack of troops go on another byzantine stack) . Have previous saves but the perspective of re-playing 12 turns of battles is too much for me. I have the BC 2.02 last version but I remember the Grandviz script worked fine for me with the 2.00 + 2.02 patch.

What do you think? or was it (the Grandviz script) included on the last 2.02 version?

Thanks for your quick replies
