0 turn or 1 turn campaign?

Are you using RTW or RTW BI for this campaign?

------

If this is a 0 turn campaign with RTW BI then I also get a CTD after taking the settlement - it's got the plague in it and looks like an instant rebellion.

Also, your other setltements are a mess - most appear to be on auto-manage. Personally, I never let the exe decide what to build and I do micromanage. The advantage of doing this is you should be able to hold the settlements with smaller garrisons (so your money can be spent on more field armies).

A number of your settlements (Lugdunon and Gergovia in Gaul and Sagunton in Iberia and Cannae in Italy) are about to rebel.....

Make sure you train up governors with good retinues/traits and you will have a better govenor which also means the garrison can be smaller. Settlements need education buildings (academies) to do this (also temples). Once you've recruited a govenor in such a settlement they should be left there for several turns to gain these retinues/traits. Don't leave them there too long as they will gain bad retinues/traits.

You should also demolish all non Carthage culture buildings that cannot be upgraded to your own culture - typically this is temples but there are other buildings. Having such buildings just cause unrest which also means you need to have larger garrisons.....

There are barbarian recruiting buildings in the Gallic settlements.

The game should handle rebellions OK. However, there is a Carthage owned settlement in North Africa that has the same colour borders as Parthia.... I deleted the map.rwm files but this does not look good.

I tried to download your save but the web site insisted that I sign in - so I'm not going to be any help as I don't want to register with them.....

You should be able to attach a compressed save game using this forum - simply press the 'Go advanced' button when you're posting.

-- triple posts merged (Brusilov)- please EDIT your posts for updates

I get a malicious site warning when I try to download the last one.

The method I suggested to attach a compressed save game to a post should work fine.

If you don't want to do what I suggest then you will have to wait for someone else to try and help you.

ok here is it this

**yutaty** · September 18, 2012, 06:40 PM

sometimes i use rtw engine and sometimes bi engine
what do you mean by 0 turn or 1 turn?

**Brusilov** · September 18, 2012, 07:06 PM

I just launched a new Carthage campaign (0 turn with R:TW BI exe) and let the Siga settlement rebel - it did so to the rebels and not Parthia.....

You either select 0 turn or 1 turn from the launcher....... Surely, you look at the options?

Do you mean sometimes in the same campaign you run it with R:TW and other times with R:WT BI? I don't even think they are compatible.....

**yutaty** · September 18, 2012, 07:39 PM

in the launcher i choose carthge from the list of nations and the game starts normally when selecting rtw or bi engines but it the start i used rtw or bi i do not remeber and kept using it until the first crash then i changed the engine it also crashed at loading the last save i have two windowes 7 and xp i usually play it in 7 but after the first crash i played in xp and the save ran normally in xp then it crashed again i reinstalled the game and it ran normally then this crash came and it won't work either by changing windows or by reinstalling it is not working

Mainly because you are being very vague about what you are doing. It's very hard to help someone if they don't supply the information we ask for. It's YOU that knows what YOU have done. We can only work off information that YOU supply.

We aren't paid to do this. We're spending our own time trying to help someone - time that we could be doing more interesting things.

Think about that before you post and have some consideration for others that are trying to help you.
