Turn End Crash

I save my games between 3 save files in a rotation. ie. Turn 1 save A, Turn 2 save B, Turn 3 Save C, Turn 4 Save A...

When I end my turn around 121 BC as Rome, I always get an error (see pic). I confirmed this by arriving at the same turn with saves A and B and getting the same error each time.

I ask the good people of this forum for assistance.


Here my log:

Can you attach the full log, please? Preferably with trace re-enabled in the config. That extract doesn't have anything useful, nor even a terminating error.

I hope this is it.

Can you get one with trace re-enabled? All I'm getting from that shortened log is this:

Code: [View]

19:49:37.210 [system.rpt] [error] Unspecified error. Please compress your error log in a zip format and upload it on the EBII technical help forum.

That makes more sense now. I was wondering why I didn't need to zip my first one...

Still not terribly clear, but I suspect you've got a situation where a faction's FL and FH are dying in the same event:

You may have to observe the AI turn with the fog of war turned off to find out which faction it is, then aid them to prevent that happening. Since it's cul_3 it's one of Seleukids, Ptolemaioi, Baktria or Bosporans.

The games seem to always crash on Seleukids. I guess I just need to console kill one of the FM before the crashing turn?

How do I turn FoW off?

EDIT: Nm, I found out how. However, because the Seleukids are so big in my game, I'm having a hell of a time finding the heir or FL. Is there any easy way to do this?

Ok, I narrowed the crashing moment to when this Seleukid army just won a siege. As soon as the avatar triumphantly raises the banner, I get what you see on the screenshot attached. All armies involved are led by captains. I'm not sure about the garrison.

My guess is that the Bosporan FL and FH are both in Pantikapaion, and the game is getting stuck trying to resolve who the new leaders should be with them both being removed at the same time. Check the garrison in your turn, use the perfect_spy script which is activated with F1 and the "?" button (make sure you turn it off again after looking).

When I press F1 it brings up the keyboard shortcut summary. Pressing ? doesn't seem to do anything before, during, or after the F1 press.

On a side note, the Bosporan FH is in the army towards the right of the previous screenshot. Also, I'm 95% sure this is the last Bosporan city.

There's no notification, but when you click it, you can "see" everything, it will show you the composition of garrisons and armies. Which will tell you which FMs are present.

You might want to try bringing the Bosporan stack to Pantikapaion, see if they can change the outcome enough to avert whatever's going on. Maybe move the Seleukid army away, too.

Ok, I realized that you meant the ? button in the menu rather than the keyboard button.

Turn out the Bosporan FL and FH are both in that stack off to the right.

How do I move their armies?

Ah, so the game might be struggling with them becoming homeless/faction-less as a result of losing their last settlement. Sometimes that passes without a hitch, other times, as now, it causes a crash. Looks from the map like they've been squaring off against that Sauromatae stack for years.

You need the move_character command which you enter on the console.

Code: [View]

move_character [name of the commander], x, y

You get the co-ordinates by entering show_cursorstat on the tile you want. You might also need to boost the garrison of Pantikapaion a little, try this in the console:

Code: [View]

create_unit Pantikapaion "hellenistic infantry hoplitai" 1 0 0 0
create_unit Pantikapaion "hellenistic infantry hoplitai haploi" 2 0 0 0
create_unit Pantikapaion "hellenistic infantry akontistai" 1 0 0 0
create_unit Pantikapaion "steppe infantry scythian archers" 1 0 0 0

I keep getting "unrecognized character" when I try to move_character the FH. Probably has something to do with his name changing or something?

Bosporans don't have surnames; try Satyros, SatyrosA and SatyrosB. Arkhon is a title, not a name.

Satyros worked! I moved that stack far away but I still ended up crashing. I think the faction being destroyed has something to do with it. However, I can't add more stacks to that city because it's already 22 (albeit, depleted) stacks.

Oh no, move that Bosporan stack to where it can do something about the Seleukids, and move any supporting Seleukid stacks away. You want to stop the Bosporans dying that turn.

I couldn't get the Seleukid army to move but I did manage to give that small Bosporan force just outside the walls some extra units. That did the trick! Thank you so much QS!

Glad we got to the bottom of it. M2TW is a weird, old game; sometimes you just have to find ways to finesse your way around places it gets stuck.

I was playing for a few turns and the exact same thing happened again. I think this time the game crashed on Sauromatae's turn. Could you point me in the right direction again QS?
