Thanks to the recent TW Humble Bundle, I have gotten back into Total War and MTW especially. I can see why people consider it the best in the series and when put together with its excellent mods, I have to concur.
Unfortunately, as the title of the thread says, I cannot get custom battles to work with some of the mods. Battles loaded from the campaign map work with every mod I have tried, custom with only a few. Redux and NTW work as intended, but I cannot get the Ancient TW, Hellenic TW, and Pike&Musket mods to work with custom battles.
What happens is that after selecting the factions, units and map, the game seems to start loading the battle (the loading bar fills up about 1/10th), then it just CTD's. Quick battles load up the map, but of course, the units are all wrong.
I am using the latest Steam version and JSGME (Generic Mod Enabler) to install the mods (but have a separate game copy for each of them).
I hope that some of the MTW veterans here will be able to help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
