The only things I've changed are weapons, ammo, and entities, and removed the shields.  Legends and Fortress Mode work, and I can create an adventurer, but when it tries to actually start the game, the program freezes.  Has anyone encountered something like this before?  Any suggestions on what to check for?

Can you be more specific? There's a lot of ways you can change the entity files and screw up the game.

That's why I was hoping for a symptom-based diagnosis.

Ammo: Changed names, drastically increased damage.  Darts do BURN damage.

Weapons: Deleted all but one for each skill.  Simplified some item names (ITEM_WEAPON_NAME, with no multi-word names).  Changed some in-game names.  Drastically increased damage (highest is 1500).  At least one weapon with each damage type, including BURN, HEAT, and COLD.

Entities: Changed weapons to match the new item names, got rid of shields.

I think that's it, at this point.  Any thoughts on what to check for, or am I just going to have to go through everything systematically?

[Neoskel]

Maybe the new weapon names don't match up with the entities?

[Demonic Gophers]

Just finished going through 'em,  and I couldn't find any mismatches.

Oh, I also gave Goblins and Kobolds adventurer tier positions.  I can't imagine what that could break, but it is a change.

Did you, perchance actually remove all shields from the game? I think the game will force a shield onto you if none is selected for your civ, but if there's no shield to find, it might freak out.

It may be possible to fix the above by making all weapons two-handed. Since there are no shields, there isn't any reason they shouldn't be two-handed, unless you plan to add shields back in.

[Demonic Gophers]

That did it.  Thanks.

I'll try making everything two-handed, then.

[magikarcher]

Woah, my suggestion actually worked- I mean, I knew that would fix it (insert unsure smile here). 

[Demonic Gophers]

Restoring the shield file worked. I'm still checking to make sure nobody has shields with the two-handed weapons.
