Hi Aragorn, bit of a triky one this. The answer is not easily Go and take a look in the dungeon and you will get some ideas I think. On the whole tough it will take a lot of work to do it I'm afraid but good luck to you and if you make anything that works well make sure you let us try it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I'll post in the dungeon for you because I can't really help, and I'll make sure you get promoted to continue your interest ASAP http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Edit: I gave a quick post here to see if someone would help: http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....1;&#top (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=10214;r=1;&#top)

well I havnt read the link below but i figured out how to switch around players in a map, not what you were looking for i know but it will prove usefull when you are trying to place your factions, what i found looks something like this -> SetRegionOwner::
ID_ALGERIA FN_ALMOHAD
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CORDOBA FN_ALMOHAD
SetRegionOwner:: ID_GRANADA FN_ALMOHAD
SetRegionOwner:: ID_LIBYA FN_ALMOHAD
SetRegionOwner:: ID_MOROCCO FN_ALMOHAD
SetRegionOwner:: ID_TUNISIA FN_ALMOHAD

SetRegionOwner:: ID_ANATOLIA FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_BULGARIA FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CONSTANTINOPLE FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CRETE FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CYPRUS FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_GEORGIA FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_GREECE FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_LESSER_ARMENIA FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_NICAEA FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_RHODES FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_TREBIZOND FN_BYZANTINE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_NAPLES FN_BYZANTINE

SetRegionOwner:: ID_ANTIOCH FN_EGYPTIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_ARABIA FN_EGYPTIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_EGYPT FN_EGYPTIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_JERUSALEM FN_EGYPTIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SINAI FN_EGYPTIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_TRIPOLI FN_EGYPTIAN

SetRegionOwner:: ID_ANJOU FN_ENGLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_AQUITAINE FN_ENGLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_MERCIA FN_ENGLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_NORMANDY FN_ENGLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_NORTH_UMBRIA FN_ENGLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_WESSEX FN_ENGLISH

SetRegionOwner:: ID_BRITTANY FN_FRENCH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CHAMPAGNE FN_FRENCH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_FLANDERS FN_FRENCH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_ILE_DE_FRANCE FN_FRENCH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_TOULOUSE FN_FRENCH

SetRegionOwner:: ID_AUSTRIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_BAVARIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_BOHEMIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_BRANDENBURG FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_BURGUNDY FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_FRANCONIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_FREISLAND FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_LORRAINE FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_PROVENCE FN_GERMAN_HRE

SetRegionOwner:: ID_SAXONY FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SWABIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SWITZERLAND FN_GERMAN_HRE
SetRegionOwner:: ID_TYROLIA FN_GERMAN_HRE
//SetRegionOwner:: ID_POMERANIA FN_GERMAN_HRE

SetRegionOwner:: ID_TUSCANY FN_ITALIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_CORSICA FN_ITALIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_GENOA FN_ITALIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_MILAN FN_ITALIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SARDINIA FN_ITALIAN
SetRegionOwner:: ID_VENICE FN_ITALIAN

SetRegionOwner:: ID_POLAND FN_POLISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SILESIA FN_POLISH

SetRegionOwner:: ID_CASTILE FN_SPANISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_LEON FN_SPANISH

SetRegionOwner:: ID_ARMENIA FN_TURKISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_EDESSA FN_TURKISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_RUM FN_TURKISH
SetRegionOwner:: ID_SYRIA FN_TURKISH

basicly what ever faction you want it to be you put in FN_TURKISH but I assume you would have to put the province with the rest of the, like if you wanted syria to go to the spanish you would have to move the line of code to below ID_LEON just a little something I thought might be usefull.

it is far easier to make campaign maps for MTW 1.1 than it is for VI 2.0,
LMM utility will create new campaign maps for MTW quickly and easily, complete with functioning scripts(startpos file),

for VI a lot of additional script editing is required to get them to work,
i have one working in VI for a mod i am writing,
once i finish the mod i will be able to step back through my work and detail how i got the campmap to behave

To add to B's info,

You can download LMM 3.3 or 4.1 from the Orgs downloads. Both work ok. A new version (LMM5) is currently in the process of being finalised - after which it will be provided to the Org and will be the prefered version.

One or 2 provisos however -

- the documentation is not great, but there are a few examples with each version
- these 2 versions may be a bit problemattical at time with W98 and ME (prefered op/sys is XP)
- the whole process of creating a new campaign map for MTW 1.1 can be very confusing if you ar'nt familar with all the components that MTW requires

Having said that, however, if you do give it a try and you do have problems then raise a post in the Dungeon. There are plenty of people who understand LMM so you should have few problems getting assistance in this respect.
