Ok, I got a campaign map working. I made a new custom city model. I edited desc_sm_settlements.txt for the faction's cities to use this new model. I deleted map.rwm in my custom campaign folder.

Boot up game, there's no change.

To test something else, I swapped the "roman" tag with "carthaginian" in desc_sm_settlement. No change. Romans still use roman city model and so does carthage.

Did I miss anything that I should've edited?

Does it have the same name as the original but with different content. The game looks in the pak files first and only looks in the UI folder (i assume that is where your's is) if it can't find what it wants in the pak files.

Also do you mean the city icon displayed on the strat map or the settlement plans?

What version do you use? Some files don't seems to be used any longer in 1.5.
Strat map models for all cultures are now defined in "descr_cultures.txt".

I'm using a different name so the pak shouldn't be a problem. And the one I'm trying to change is the CAS model.

Aaah, maybe that's the problem. I was just editing desc_sm_settlements.txt. I'll give desc_cultures a try. Thanks.
