So, to anybody else having trouble with the original disc release of the game, as the mod author has said previously somewhere else, the mod is tested on the gold edition of the game from Steam. If you have an original disc copy of the game, I recommend you find the CD code of your copy and then input this into Steam's Add a Game, Redeem a product, on the library section. This should get you the steam version of the game which will hopefully be more friendly with the mod.

Still have no idea what the signifigance of the version numbers and letters are.

Not sure, the devs might be busy with real life stuff and are waiting till their schedules are less busy.
Granted, there's this guest account that replied to one of my comments, as well as making its own comment stating that some new version was being uploaded. Not sure if it's a random person trolling or a dev that doesn't have access to the main account

Sorry for not commenting earlier, the 8.3 G update seems to have fixed the issue. I can now play this mod in full, happy holidays.

Did some more battles. It always crashes for me at the custom battles but on campaign, it's not crashing unless I'm fighting on the desert/Savannah field type. This is well and truly weird. I'm really sorry if this is going in circles.

After doing a bit more, for some reason, the glitch does not occur on any of the save that came with the download, the Goethe saves that I can only assume are the test saves.
Edit: I tested all the other faction's spears and none of them are affected. Weirdly enough, the Armenians have the Immortals as well and loading them does not crash the game. Only the Persians are affected but the bug is affecting all of their spears. Horde spears, eastern infantry, hillmen. All Persian spears

Is your Rome Total War updated fully to 1.6

I'm the guest, I got an account. It happened exactly as HIMPDahak described. Battle appeared fine at first but hard crashed to desktop with a close application message with no log. This was on the 8.4f release on the original disk release, fully updated to 1.6 with Barbarian Invasion. It should be mentioned that I copied the game files to a separate disk that I use for mods.The game crashed when the immortals or spears moved or fired at all. I first encountered this during a field battle with 2 Themiskyran generals against an eastern spear unit and slingers. After this I reloaded the game. I loaded a custom battle with immortals and the game crashed once they started to fire. I loaded the immortals in a custom battle and attempted to move them. I was able to rearrange them and even enter them in shield wall during preparation but it hard crashed as soon as I tried to move them. I loaded a custom battle and took control of an immortal unit with fire at will turned off. When the immortals were shot, the game crashed. I loaded another battle with the immortals and had a melee enemy. The game crashed when the immortals entered their (ready to fight) animation that triggers when a unit gets close (I also got similar results with the Eastern spears). I do not have sufficient experience with game development to really give any explanation.
