Can't unlock factions

I followed the procedure described in the sticky thread to unlock timurids, but it doesn't work. If I start a new campaign with england, I see a full-screen scroll giving me some informations and asking for a password (I didn't insert any). When I start the first turn, open the console (BTW, it wasn't the ' key but the à key for me) and type "control timurids", I get a message telling that console is disabled in hotseat multiplayer.
BTW, there was no [Multiplayer] section in the file I had to modify: I had to add it.

I'm not sure I fully understand your predicament, but the Timurs don't exist in the game at the start of the campaign,
but rather appear suddenly, much, much later, as a large invasion force from the east.

So when you start a new campaign, there are no Timurs in existence yet for you to take control of.

I followed this steps:

Have a look in your Medieval II Total War folder and you'll see a file called medieval2.preference.cfg - right click on this file and go to Edit and the file will open in Notepad.

Add the following three lines to the [multiplayer] section:

[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false

Then start a campaign as normal and select England (remember to deselect any other factions additionally highlighted).

Launch the campaign and bring down the M2 console by pressing the ' key.

Type in:

control mongols

or

control timurids

depending on which you want to play as. Then type in:

control england


The game will then autopilot you (warning this may take a while) to the appearance of your chosen faction and give you control of them.

But that didn't work. :help:

i think that only works with 1.0 not with the patch.

Up.
