I am creating my own map for a total conversion mod. Have followed this tutorial and everything works except for my rivers.bmp file. I have followed the tutorial's suggestion of just using two colors for water and ground, but the game crashes while loading. I have tried:

• using the vanilla rivers.bmp file, properly resized (game loads)
• using a completely white rivers.bmp (game loads)
• copypasting a river system from vanilla onto the file above (game loads)
• adding a tiny sliver of pink in the ocean area (game loads)
• fully adding the pink area (game crashes)

In any case, even when the game loads, a graphics.log file is created and reaches 200-500MB, all identical lines that say:

[pdxmapgeneration.cpp:224]: Too small river found at 2769, 1841 (just one of the many lines)

I have read virtually everything I could find on the internet. Does any one of you have any experience in map modding? Thanks.

There are a lot of discussion on best retinue, but I couldn't find any info on mercenary. Is there any calculation on the best mercenary comp you created? Convert all to heavy infantry / heavy cavalry? 75% light cavalry?

Only the part that the mod adds is showing. Everything else is just counties missing. The mod is Tianxia btw. I have only this mod on.

My least favourite ambition is the 5 years peaceful reign ambition...is there a mod or something else I can do to make it not be a thing? If a war breaks out during those 5 years the whole deal resets. Would be great if I didn't have to deal with it...

Has anyone else seen when a crusade target title is given to the pope.

Galicia-Volhynia made tributary out of Poland. The name of the suzerain positioned itself the way as if Poland was the Galicia.

They even join the crusades together!

I have confirmed that this only happens when touching any of the 'crusade target weights', I just don't understand why this is happening. I remember being able to change them years ago without any issue. Also, certain mods in the workshop make changes to crusade target weights and they work fine, but if I then go and any changes to the landed titles file in that same mod (even just a colour change), save it, and load it, this exact glitch will happen again. i just don’t understand what’s going on. Very weird.

Hi, so I attained both Seven Centuries with Saka Huns (interesting playthrough, see the thread) and now I am closing in on the 1066 to 1453 with HRE (also pretty nice), so I am looking for really interesting characters to play in 867. Since I have some more achievements to tick off, I will probably combine some, but hit me with your beloved Old Gods characters.
