Unable to initiate combat on MOS 1.6.2

[iSmiff]

Hi there. Having issue on MOS 1.6.2 where I am unable to imitate combat with anyone as the Elves of Lorien (and I did try declaring war on Rohan too, as Isengard, to no avail).

I don't remember having this issue on my old computer which was significantly worse hardware wise so I don't imagine the issue to be hardware related -

Also; TATW vanilla ran fine without any issue.

I have tried disabling daylight savings time, I have deleted map.rwm and also deleted the two desc_geog files (although I only did this before the Isengard test, these 2 were present after deleting the map.rwm)

Also; another strange bug i've noticed on MOS is that depending on who I start with; my minimap is half explored half fog-of-war in either diagonal lines, horizontal lines or patches.

Any help greatly appreciated as I know there are various threads out there however trawling through them usually leads me to the same bits of advice. Changing DST or deleting those files.

Just to add- the MOS on my older PC was over a year ago - so that could explain why I didn't experience an issue with it - I appreciate new builds can sometimes experience compatibility issues

The error i'm getting is on the loading screen to the battle - Medieval 2 encountered an unexpected error - or words to that effect.

Anyone? Still having issues.

In the mean time I decided to try re-installing TATW & MOS.

Once again - No issues whatsoever w/ TATW. Runs fine. Battles fine.
Once i've installed MOS this time however, this time i'm not even able to start a campain. When I pick a faction and click 'next' it just goes back to the screen asking me if I want to start a Grand Campaign or a Fellowship Campaign.

Same happens when I try to start a fellowship Campaign.

I really prefer the MoS submod as it splits up the two Sylvan elf factions but alas i'd rather play TATW Vanilla than struggle through with this much longer.

Any help appreciated..
