Hi everyone

I just stumbled across your forum and site while browsing about this game, and I wanted to say it's incredible

I play MTW constantly, even if battles are long to generate for me (Cel 533... you know). I'm also playing a online RPG set in the days 1400, and I'm playing Burgundy. I'm using MTW to show battles that have occured between Burgundy and other countries. For this, I make SP player battles. BUT, I cannot use Burgundy for myself since it is a minor country.

So, I'm wondering if there's any way for me to play Burgundy as a minor in SP battles. Is there a mod around that allows that. Or, is there a way for me to switch flags with another major country?

I know you have a truckload of reference documents in your download sections, and that there's a mod section to this forum also. But I wasn't sure if any of these documents were touching this particular subject.

Thank you for your help http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Try this link:

http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....actions (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=1541;hl=minor+factions)

don't know if Burgundy is there or not but give it a read.

Thanks for the link. I followed some advice, but they don't tell much...

What I'm trying to do is to activate Burgundy as a playable faction in custome battles.

I've succeeded to put it in there, by editing the setactivenation paramater for Burgundy in the late.txt file, BUT when I select it as a country, and come to buy units right after, there's none that appear....

Please help me, I don't seem to be able to post anything in the appropriate section regarding bugs and mods.

I'm not so sure that you can. Burgundy plays under France in MTW. The mods make Minor factions playable such as, Sicily, Mongols and Hungarians etc.

Oh, found it.

It's quite simple. You choose your time period, either the early, high or late.txt. You must set the nation active as a major AND give it AT LEAST a province.

Well, thanks http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
