still cant open all factions!

im pretty sure i know how to open up all the factions, but it doesnt seem to be working, still there are like 5 or 6 that wont open . Maybe some one can explain how to open them 1 more time so i can see if i am doing something wrong.Sorry i know this gets asked often, maybe some one should just make a modd that has all the factions open alllready, unless there is alllready one?

Go to Rome:Total War, Data, World, Maps, Campaign, Imperial Campaign, Descr_Strat and then you'll see:

campaign imperial_campaign
playable
romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
end
unlockable
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
end
nonplayable
romans_senate
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
scythia
spain
thrace
numidia
slave
end

All you have to do is cut the ones from non-playable(except for Senate and slave) to the playble.

It's that simple *sighs*.

Isn't there a 20 playable faction limit (you have to leave at least one locked/unplayable)?

Just keep clear of the Senate.

Well i tryed that and just the roman bruttii and Juliii showed up as playable and all the other ones disapeared oin the imperial campain thing, and then i got everything but the roman factions to show up, but when i would click to start my campainit would just go to a different page rather then going to the campain, so im reinstalling the game and will have to try again.

You had a typo or format error somewhere. I've been doing some massive editing to the strat file and if something isn't right, it kicks me back to the campaign menu.

Side note:
Interesting that CA didn't even define many of the rebel provinces...they default to minimum population and no structures of any type.

hmm.. still not working

ok this how i have it set up and its still not work, maybe someone could be cool and cut and paste how to have it set up?



campaign imperial_campaign
playable
romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
scythia
spain
thrace
numidia


end
unlockable
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
end
nonplayable
romans_senate

slave
end

Here is what I have in mine...

playable
romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
end
unlockable
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
scythia
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
spain
thrace
numidia
end
nonplayable
romans_senate
slave
end

And the board wiped out the formatting...oh well

here is a link to the mod, so you don't have to edit the files by your self

Hey steve, follow that guy below me's link. I got it a few months ago, and it is superb.

Thank you very much! Yeah i was wondering if someone had made a mod for this since it seems to be such a typiical problem for people or atleast beginners.I just dont understand why when activision put out the game why they didnt just have all the factions playable from the start, it would save some people alot of trouble

*Bump*

is it OK with the new patch or has anyone had any problems.

It's fine with patch, i think. No one's complained. Yet.

No one knows why CA made the faction selection like that, making us unlock all the playable factions, but still leaving half of them unplayable. Oh, and steve, when you are talking about the company that made RTW, say CA, not activision. Activision published it, CA made it.
