Changing character age

[Megas Methuselah]

huh. That's odd. Maybe Foot can clarify this or something...?

You pretty much have to restart the entire program if you want to change from one faction to the other. I've encountered plenty of times where my government buildings were destroyed when I didn't do such a thing.

The game doesn't force you to restart, it can just mess up the script if you switch campaigns without restarting.
EDIT: Korlon beat me to it.

You don't have to exit the game, but the script will mess up when you activate the script for one faction then quit and activate it for a different faction before exiting and restarting RTW.exe. In fact, the script may mess up if you activate the script, then load a game for the same faction and activate the script again. I personally never activate the script more than once in any one game session.

woah, I guess I am lucky? I rarely reload, but when I do, I usually reload a few times in succession, and activates the script everytime. I don't remember anything going wrong when I do that :()

[Nobo]

yea, same here... i've started a couple of new campaigns, after playing with a different faction without reloading the game. What kinda problems would you get from that? Should i be prepared for some problems further down the line?

[Hax]

I believe there aren't any real troubles, except your government buildings getting messed up. Also there could be a few extra CTD's perhaps.

It's more a nuisance than a real game-breaker.

Doesn't the money script get messed up as well? Like if say Pontus got the Ptolemaioi's money or something.
