Why isn't this working

[Dulce_et_Decorum_Est]

I tried modifying the Extended Greek Mod Spartan Hoplites from this:

type greek hoplite spartan
dictionary greek_hoplite_spartan ; Spartan Hoplites
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Medium_1
soldier greek_spartan_hoplite, 40, 0, 3.2
officer greek_spartan_hoplite_officer
mount_effect horse +8, camel +8
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, very_hardy
formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, square, shield_wall
stat_health 2, 0
stat_pri 12, 12, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,0.9
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,0.9
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 9, 8, 5, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground -1, 0, -2, 0
stat_mental 30, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 5000
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 30, 8000, 520, 90, 130, 1200
ownership greek_cities, romans_brutii

To this:


type greek hoplite spartan
dictionary greek_hoplite_spartan ; Spartan Hoplites
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Medium_1
soldier greek_spartan_hoplite, 49, 0, 3.2
officer greek_spartan_hoplite_officer

mount_effect horse +10, camel +8, chariot +4
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, frighten_foot, very_hardy, command
formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, square, shield_wall
stat_health 2, 0
stat_pri 13, 12, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 , .9
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,0.9
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 9, 10, 6, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground -1, 0, -2, 0
stat_mental 40, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 5000
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 30, 8750, 620, 90, 130, 1200
ownership greek_cities, romans_brutii


But now the game won't start.

What's wrong?

The thing I think is most likely to have caused a CTD is your 2 unit officers. Try deleting one. If that doesn't help, check you've named all the DMB models correctly.

Do you use the -show_err option on your RTW shortcut?
If not, right-click on it and go to properties. Add it to the end of the 'target' line so it looks something like this: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err

When the game crashes it should now give you an error code which should help you track down the problem.

Sic.

If I had been thinking straight, I would have gone with "Vivamus_Mea_Lesbia", since Catullus is less of a socially conservative meathead. On the other hand, Catullus is irritatingly emo and whiney. I could have gone with something from Ovid, 'cause he was a slick ladies' man, but I can't think of any of his lines that I like.

Edit:

At lest I didn't quote that pompous windbag Cicero.
