Creating(editing) a faction

I want to make a faction, Croatia playable, in Zagreb. I don't quite know how to go about this though..

While you are waiting for the needed unpacker coming with the upcoming patch, you can read the various guides here and in the RTW modding forums to grasp the basics.

By taking and slightly modifying the info of the Saxons faction in the tutorial I was able to add them to the main campaign. They work fine and i havent had any CTDs playing them. I will be waiting for the extractor in the patch before I look at adding in completely new factions (along with new campmap graphics, etc). Moded strat file data if anyone is interested:

(delete York from the rebels and Nottingham from the English):

faction saxons, balanced mao
ai_label catholic

denari_kings_purse 1000

settlement castle

What other files did you edit for this to work?

hi.. i found in game bohemian units (hussites and wagon fort) iss posible make now "small" modd added Kingdom of Bohemia( with german and czech units - as Grell

city - Prague (province prague) only
faction creator - mabye HRE ?

add them in the playable list:

campaign imperial_campaign
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice
saxons


and this line:

faction_relationships saxons, at_war_with slave

Pretty sure that was all i did (oh remember to delete England owning NOttingham and Rebels owning York).
