It crashes because there are some configuration conflicts in the rules.txt. I took it upon myself to edit this file manually. I started by trying to give one house an advantage. I got the game to load and run properly expect for one glitch still. The problem I run into is that everytime I try and place an Atreides Starport, the games shuts down on me. I am not sure why it is only this building that is giving me the problems but if anyone has a solution to stop the game from quiting when placing the Starport, I would appreciate hearing from you. FYI.... The only settings I changed were the cost, build times, upgrade costs, upgrade build times. I have even tried commenting out the Starport Update delays and such and it still crashes. I haven't been able to get that mini-mod working either. hmm Help!! Thanks
