Hey all. I had decided to open a saved game to make some modifications for the update I'm now working on, but suddenly, for some unknown reason, I get this error: Couldn't open file: AGCEEP\events\AI\BP_rag_ai_shift.txt
I found the file, and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. I haven't modified this folder at all, and I'm not sure what the problem is. It has prevented me from playing my Byzantine saves, or any saves for that matter. I can still load the grand campaign however. I have no clue what could be the problem.

NOOOO...... that is not good news..... hope you somehow get it to work, because I have really enjoyed this AAR and was hoping to see it finiched.
Sheesh... I just finish this AAR (thus far--hey, that kinda rhymes! 
) and find that the author is having problems due to what may or may not be a corrupted file Having lost a save I was writing an AAR about for another game to a thunderstorm before, I can sympathize. Hope you can get everything resolved satisfactorily

Yes, please try to salvage this AAR, it is so terrible when your hopes are cut down so close to your goals...
Good luck fixing it, and if you do start a new AAR, post a link here.

It seems that it is something to do with the saved files themselves. It isn't just my Byzantine files either, it is all saved files of my games. Even my autosaves. I'm not going to give up, but I would like some help or advise on getting this fixed if anyone with the know-how is out there.
Did you update your version of EUII or AGC-EEP, this usually renders saved games useless.SeanB said:
Mr. Capiatlist said:
No, not that I remember. I did try and copy the latest save into the latest AGCEEP ( in another EUII folder ) and it gave the same error, however. So I might have accidently updated my AAR one. If I could find a working version of AGCEEP 1.7 delux I would reinstall.
If you hadn´t checked and changed the directory when instaling AGCEEP it would have instaled to the true EUII folder.SeanB said:
Well, the folder my Byzantine AGCEEP is in is called "Copy of Europa Universalis 2". But I'm not sure. Do you know where I could download a copy of 1.7 today?
Well, I will continue to try my best to fix this problem, but until I do, this AAR is on hold. I have started a new AAR in the vicky section, check it out here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=247739
I DID IT! I'll get to HARD WORK on the next update to this right now! I got it to work, so yes, I'll be continuing this AAR. I'll continue with Travena as well, but it will be secondary to this, my original, and primary focus.

What is Travena?SeanB said:I DID IT! I'll get to HARD WORK on the next update to this right now! I got it to work, so yes, I'll be continuing this AAR.
Great news with Byzantium though, what was wrong with the file?!

Hurrah!

After the death of Ibn Ibrahim, the victorious Roman armies soundly crushed the little resistance that was left in Egypt. The entire region was soon secured, and a victory parade was held in Alexandria, the former rebel capital, to celebrate the great victory of the Emperor’s armies over the rebellious Arabs. The Greek majority population of Alexandria was overjoyed to be free of their captors and thronged the streets as the Emperor lead the march. “Hundreds of thousands flocked to see the marching soldiers; the roar of there cheers waging a constant battle with the marching footsteps of the army.” Stated French historian and Imperial enthusiast Charles du Fresne, sieur Ducange. Though Emperor Alexios VI’s desired capture of Ibn Ibrahim was not accomplished, and is said to have greatly upset him, he did not let it show in public. It was still considered a great victory, which reaffirmed the power and authority of the Roman Empire’s capability to hold itself together in the eyes of Europe. After the parade, the Emperor and all but 10,000 soldiers were sailed back to Constantinople and the Balkans.
Though the war was over, there were literally thousands upon thousands of rebel prisoners left, and Emperor Alexios was strained to decide their fate. Though the Dynatoi urged him to burn them as an example to all of the other “Heathen dogs”, Alexios knew this could potentially only cause more tension among him and the Arab world. However, simply releasing them likely would have been seen as a sign of weakness. In the end, the Emperor decided to put them to work rebuilding the land as temporary slaves. When they completed their tasks, they would be set free. Egypt and Palestine had been scarred by the war, which was a painful blow to the Empire, considering Egypt was it richest of mainland territories. The slave and spice trade, in the meantime, was greatly increased to attempt to compensate until Egypt could begin to recover. This resulted in several minor uprisings in Africa, but most were easily put down without heavy Greek losses. The final years of Emperor Alexios’ reign were spent attempting to deal with the rapid rise in inflation that the war had caused, as skilled governors were appointed across the Empire to help control it.
Many voices within the Imperial Government were concerned about the difficulties involved with ruling the Empire’s far away territories directly from Constantinople, and began suggesting to Alexios that he should appoint regional governors to preside over them, thus taking some of the strain off of Constantinople, which had up until then been trying to rule the entire Empire directly from the Emperor’s seat of power. While this had been effective when the Empire was confined only to the Balkans and Anatolia, the ever-expanding borders of the Empire meant that messages regarding urgent matters would sometimes take weeks to reach the Emperor, and by then the actual situation could be completely different. Though Alexios continued to control the Empire from Constantinople throughout the rest of his rule, future Emperors would take this advise to heart. In Europe, new powers were rising to replace the declining strength of older ones, the Grand Duchy of Brandenburg-Prussia was acquiring new territories in Saxony-Heissen, while the Russian Empire continued to push its borders with Poland further west. England, meanwhile was building an overseas colonial empire rivaling that of Rome’s, while France, under the absolute rule of Louis XIV, was entering a new era of prosperity and might.
Sweden was busy attempting to form an empire of its own in Scandinavia and the Baltic regions, while Denmark and Poland struggled to halt their conquests and Imperial Ambitions. Following the 30 years war, the Holy Roman Empire was more unstable than ever, duchies now freely warring amongst each other with little regard for Vienna’s decrees. Austria itself, meanwhile, was barred from further expansion by the Roman Empire to the south, Brandenburg-Prussia to the North, France to the west, and Poland to the east. Attempting to annex one of the duchies could potentially ignite the already fragile powder keg that the Holy Roman Empire sat on, which was something that the Emperor in Vienna did not wish to risk. Austrian armies had attempted to invade Switzerland from 1652 to 1655 and bring it back into the Empire, but suffered horrible casualties from the Swiss army as well as the militia in the area, forcing them to withdraw. After being defeated by the much smaller Switzerland, which could barely be called a single nation at the time, the Austrian army became the subject of snide comments and jokes among the aristocracy of the nations of Europe, dampening the Emperor’s prestige.
Many historians believe that the chaos in central Europe resulting from the 30 years war spared the Roman Empire, as had Austria been able to, it would have no doubt exploited the Empire’s vulnerability during the Great Arab Revolt. Fortunately for the Empire, however, the Protestants kept its northern enemies occupied for the duration of the rebellion, and even after that, Austria was too weakened militarily to launch an immediate attack on its eastern counterpart. Emperor Alexios, as his predecessors had done after a brutal time of conflict, determined that that a time of peace and restoration was needed. Egypt had to recover, and the portion of the Empire’s resources had to be focused on that.
After ruling for nearly 40 years, the Emperor was beginning to feel the cold grip of death around his neck. Having taken the throne as a young man, he brought the Empire into the world as a true colonial power, easily rivaling Spain or Portugal. His conquests in Africa served to give Constantinople the monopoly on the slave trade, possibly the most valuable market of it’s day, and the combination of making the Hedjaz and the Shariff of Mecca tributaries, and the defeat of the Great Arab Revolt served to pacify Greco-Islamic tensions in the region for centuries to come.
In the last years of his life, Alexios attempted to warm the empire’s relations with its neighbors, offering lavish gifts to the Tsar of Russia, the Shah of Persia, and even the Emperor of the new Qing Dynasty of China. Existing Imperial colonies were expanded as new settlers arrived, looking for a new and better life than what they had known on the mainland. In India, a last rebellion finally ended the dieing Vijayanagar, it’s southern territories joining with Mysore, while it’s western territories joined with the Empire.
Despite the Great Arabic Revolt, the Empire of the Romans looked to have a bright future. As massive amounts of wealth continued to flow from its colonies, it would become the envy – and the target of many jealous Empires over the next century.
Europe in 1660.
Other nations in India take land from the collapsing Vijayanagar.

There, finally, an update. I hope to do more updates in the next few days, to make up for lost time.
