barbarians own territory?

[unmerged(141381)]

Barbarians took over a territory owned by massadonia, I took out mass. completly, but cant send army to the territory owned by barbs. (Missions) wants me to take that territory but a cant click on them at all!!! Anybody ever experience this before and how can I take that piece?????????? Thanks

Normally you can't take over barbarian territory until there is a high enough civ. level to colonise there (though you can enter and move through barb. lands regardless of civ level) but what you described sounds like a bug.

If the barbarians started up a nation of their own (with their own flags, borders etc), you must have been at war with them at some point. You could have signed a white peace accidentally (or automatically, if you were at -3 stability). The solution is simply to start another war when the treaty expires...and then send your armies to KILL THEM ALL.

I think he has been struck by the bug were BAR owns a province, and thus can't be negotiated with. If I remember correctly the latest patch or the unofficial fixes mini-mod wich you can find in the Modification sub-forum will fix the problem.

barbs still own it

I cant attack them, its been 15 yrs and still nothing. I tried to attack, diplomicy, and bribe but cant click on them I think its some kind of bug or something. The mission thing made me lose stability and its still the mission. Any suggestions on a mod that would fix this??????????????????

I'm not good with code but maybe Descartes or someone can help out here.

I remember having the exact same problem and posted it in a forum.
Unfortunately I cannot find that thread so I can't remember exactly how it's
done, but the person advised me to modify the saved file. Something about
finding the name of the provice CAPITAL in the saved file and deleting the
line that specifies that it is owned by the barbarians.

For example, "owner Rome='BAR' " or something like that. I'm not a modder so
I don't know the code exactly. If this doesn't help you I can try to find it in
my saved file, but I can't promise if I'll find it again.

This sounds like a save game edit issue. Crack it open, and after you find the province, change the owner to whomever you want. Then declare war on the bastards to clear the mission.

thanks for the help. but how do you "crack it open" I know it sounds stupid but Im not that good with computers so I dont know how to get into the game like that. And also my game keep crashing any suggestions on how to keep this from happening?? My computer is a brand new gateway and is suppose to be really good for computer games so I dont know why it keeps crashing!!!!!! Thanks again

Phil, I downloaded that no barbarian state file but I dont know which file to drag it into?? Does it matter where to put it or does it matter.

You have to add it at the end of the file common/titles.txt in your EUR-directory.

Phil Inside my commoon file there are two folders, countries and families. They are both empty, so which one do I put it in?????? Sorry you have to explain it like im a retard. lol thanks

 

[unmerged(119342)]

They are both empty??!! I think you may have to re-install while keeping your old saves. In VV, you should see 4 folders and many ----.txt files in EUR\common\. What are you playing Rome or VV? I think something has gone terribly wrong for your game. You must give the doctors a full description before we do surgery.

Maybe he's using Vista? IIRC, it tends to do some funky stuff with files.

Ahh, Cheexsta! Good to see you back in the saddle. Help has arrived; you are saved Russ32.
