    Code:
    ; campaign file.
    
    campaign		my_campaign
    playable
    	greek_cities
    	carthage
    end
    unlockable
    end
    nonplayable
    	slave
    end
    
    
    start_date	-264 summer
    end_date	14 summer
    
    brigand_spawn_value 10
    pirate_spawn_value 28
    I believe that's right.

    the most usual problem with this is the
    ...._regions_and_settlement_names.txt
    file

    there is a save type / format problem that means if you try and make a new file that looks like old one - or sometimes add bits to old one it doesn't recognise them.

    as Aradan said work from old 'imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt'
    make a copy of it and re-name it to what you want, then either change the ** bits within the existing
    {**} **
    format or copy and paste a chunk of those existing bits to the bottom of the file and then change the text within the ** in that area.... (it doesn't matter if you have more regions in that file than exist in the campaign)

    I've never figured out why it does that but have had problems lots of times when trying to type in:
    {new_thing} new thing

    at the bottom or in a new file, unless I do the copy and paste of existing sections into old file.
    Not used mods before? Looking for something small and fun?!
