I think that probably my greatest achievement was introducing Ozymandias to these boards.

OKay, right click on the RTW or Bi shortcut, then select properties. In the target line add -show_err outside the bit in brackets so it will look something like:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err

When do you get the CTD in the game? In a custom battle? During a battle in the campaign?Originally Posted by Dominicus of Byzantium
Also as asked above what have you changed?

i have changed the factions that can use certain non-mercenary units e.g. amazon chariots to the greeks. I also changed the recruitment time but i destroyed that copy. i deleted maps.rwm and height.hgt. i modded money for each faction and I use a mod from this site to make all factions available. The game CTD's when I start or load a campaign.

That is your problem. Just undo what you did with that unit and your game should work.amazon chariots
I think I have read where people have tried to make that unit playable and the game would CTD.

export_descr_unit with calligula which worked and recently without.
descr_strat which I made a backup of a working version of

What version of RTw do you have? Becuase you do not need to delete height.hgt, and if you have 1.3, the game has problems generating a new version of the file.

Then you should not have deleted heights.hgt, that is what wrong. Someone released a file that converts heights.tga to heights.hgt, search the forum for it or look in the downloads section.

I copied those files before I deleted them so I have renamed the copies to the original name. I shall now test it.
Merged double posts
it worked, thanx. I would like to know if it would cause CTD to mod my descr_strat file as to add a greek general next to sparta with newly available units, (pikemen, chariots, elephants and cataphracts and sacred band) with a proper name from descr_names and a wife.
