nnnnope, still fails to boot. gives a different error, though. much easier to recognize what went wrong, too. still seems to be looking for tiers that don't exist by default.

will try setting it to 5 tiers without the compat mod, then try booting with it, but yea, still crashing with default settings/fresh install
EDIT: setting it to 5 tiers allows it to boot properly, so it looks like the code that causes it to crash with less than 5 tiers is still there, it just crashes differently now
