If you play for the northeastern countries: Han, Hindus, after the capture of the Huns, after a while the game crashes with an error: it is impossible to read the memory ... Since there are no logs, nothing is clear in this case. My guess is the models of the mounted troops.
This happens in both CW7 and CW8.

I have already bought 8 cities for food, while there are no more such problems and crashes.
Assumption: Perks or buildings with the same name gave out problems ...

P.S. After 20 minutes ... I jinxed it, it broke on the 9th task ...

@SGZ***71 all you need to do to fix a good amount of the script errors you have is to make sure none of your city ::NAME strings have extra (empty) lines after the string itself.

The empty lines look fine in the UI, but break the script when generating certain random/dynamic objectives. If a random/dynamic objective ends up requiring a city with those extra empty lines, it will always break the LUA script and the objective won't work properly and give console errors.

I agree with you. After the bug from Baku, I bought another two cities for food, then again the quest was issued to Baku with a bug.

Thanks Fristi. Just to be clear, before I go trudging thru lots of files , are you talking about the .str for each city ? If so, taking Baku as a example, there are no empty lines,...?

Is it possible that the 'of' gets into the generated script?

I do see empty lines in the Baku string. I am talking specifically about the ::NAME string.

Every city's ::NAME string needs to not have these empty lines underneath the actual name. Same for general names. Tooltips are fine.

Unfortunately you have given each city its own .str file so it'll be a bit of work to open and save all of those :D

EDIT:
To be clear what I mean is this: https://imgur.com/a/xRNukLM
And those should be deleted for all city ::NAME strings and also all the strings for general names. The text of those strings must just be on a single line

The 'of' is not the problem.

The problem is with these dynamic objectives the LUA script generates a XML string for the objective.
Then the XML string has more LUA inside of it, but that LUA is also a string at first, and is run separately later.
But the 'outer' LUA that's generating the XML that holds the 'inner' LUA is already fetching the strings from the string system and outputting them as string literals to the 'inner' LUA.

But then if such a string has a line break in it, it will become incorrect syntax for the string literal in the 'inner' LUA and will cause an error when that inner LUA (which was previously just a string in the dynamically generated XML) actually fires (when the XML code actually gets parsed and loaded after the strings are already inserted into the inner LUA code).

If all of that sounds like Greek to you, don't worry, it's pretty advanced and I kind of more or less am a quasi-professional programmer myself these days.

But trust me, the line breaks in the name string shouldn't be there.

Just dropping by to say thanks again, this is amazing stuff, I cannot believe these guys haven't thrown money at you to basically design the next game!

[SGZ***71]

Thanks Fristi. I'll so some work excising unneeded space ! :)

[mazytus]

Memory leaks also piss me off. As soon as "memory not read" crashes, you can quit the game and start over. I didn't get further than capturing 10 cities and 400 weeks in 15 games ...

BASTARNAE cannot do mounted scouts, is that correct?
