Modifying factions

[Cyrus]

Oh and how do i change a factions name?

[Callicles]

REMEMBER back up all files before you edit them!

To change names of the factions, their navies, captains, regiments, etc., edit the shared.txt and expanded.txt files.

So, at the beginning of shared.txt where it reads "As'Sab'yn wal'Jau" you would write "Galatia"

The expanded.txt file is for more subtle changes so you can change "Sabaen Navy" to "Galatian Navy" You'll find other things in that file that you might want to change "Sabaen Army" to "Galatian Warband" or whatever suits you.

------------

And, before you ask, you can change faction colors and faction culture by changing the numbered values in descr_sm_factions.txt.

You can change strat map characters by editing descr_character.txt.



Good luck and have fun with your new faction.

(When you are through editing, you should share your handy work)

You might also want to change the culture from semitic to barbarian. This can be found in the descr_sm_factions.txt as well.

Hello?

Ok i've done everithing you say exept i could't find the gov. buildings, how are they called?
And how do i change a factions homeland and AOR?

The gov buildings should also be in the descr_buildings file, just look for "gov1" and you should have a list of all the government types.

The faction homelands can be changed in the campaign_script, found in /EB/Data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/ folder. AOR is really tricky and I'm not really familiar with that. In the campaign_script you have several lines found after the garrison scripts. It goes somewhat like this:

command_console create_building <settlement> homeland

There are three codes: homeland, expansion and outlying. Homeland allows Type I govs, expansion type II govs and outlying only type III and IV.

Ok and what about if i'm using BI.exe, do i have to modify other folders?
