Playing as Non-Playable factions
:help::help::help:
I have tried and looked many places to try to figure out how to play as people like the Scythians, Dacia etc. and have not been able to actually change the dedcr_strat file to do so. So if possible could someone post or PM me thier descr_strat file with the normally "unplayable" factions enabled and without and other crazy modifications.

Re: Playing as Non-Playable factions
I don't know why it would crash if that's all you're changing. You're saying the game works perfectly fine, but when you change this:
to this:
it crashes?
Re: Playing as Non-Playable factions
Yes, when I go to click on the Scythia icons, not even when I try to start the campaign, the game crashes. It also happens with Dacia, Nubians, Thrace, Spain, and someone else I am forgetting at the moment...

what patch of RTW are you using? If you're not sure - go into options screen and check what the number in top right hand corner says.

Ver 1.3
Re: Playing as Non-Playable factions
With 1.3 you have to add a descriptive text in for each faction. Go to RTW\Data\Text\campaign_descriptions.txt file to add in something (anything) for a campaign description for the formerly nonplayable factions. Be sure to make a backup copy of the file before you edit it. Add the following:
Code:
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_TITLE}SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANUS
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_DESCR}The Senate and People Of Rome
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_TITLE}Armenians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_DESCR}Armenians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_DACIA_TITLE}Dacians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_DACIA_DESCR}Dacians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_NUMIDIA_TITLE}Numidians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_NUMIDIA_DESCR}Numidians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SCYTHIA_TITLE}Scythians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SCYTHIA_DESCR}Scythians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SPAIN_TITLE}Iberians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SPAIN_DESCR}Iberians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_THRACE_TITLE}Thracians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_THRACE_DESCR}Thracians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SLAVE_TITLE}Rebels
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SLAVE_DESCR}Rebels
Or better yet, upgrade to 1.5.
