Hordes

[Hax]

Question:

Is it possible to enable "Hordes" for some factions if you play with bi.exe. Especially for some factions, such as the Sauromatae and the Saka, it could be logical?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible for BI...

Alright, very many thanks!

I was planning on enabling it for certain factions, not just the Nomad/Steppe, but also some factions that would logically find another spot to live, such as the Koinon Hellenon (I know this is historically inaccurate, but I'd love to see a mass migration in that area).

Dubblepost.

Okay, now I've got this problem. I've made changes to the descr_sm_factions .txt file, and it loads until halfway, and then it CTD's, without error messages.

The descr_sm_factions .txt file is in (my own folder being)

C:\Games\Activision\Europa Barbarorum\EB\Data

Anyone could be of help here, please?

Edit: Personally, I thought it should be in

C:\Games\Activision\Europa Barbarorum\EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion

but when I try and put it in there, the game itself just can't find it and I get the message that I lost. Btw, I also changed the descr_strat in that same folder, so now I only start out with Sparte, just a FYI
