the Senate

[SubRosa]

I still have the romans_senate in ATW, and did not see it giving missions to the romans_julii in a full campaign as the latter, or romans_scipii in my current campaign. So I do not think it is anything hard-coded.

Change the internal faction name.

I've reached confused stage on this issue...

@SubRosa have you got any factions that use the superfaction function?
If not then maybe adding it and having a romans_... faction means they would get the messages?


@HouseOfHam
are you confirming that the romans_ prefix for julii / scipii etc has some hard coded effect? I know that changing the romans_senate name disables a load of stuff, but wasn't sure anything else was proved about the other faction names.

What about if I rename the senate faction? Isn't that easier to do than renaming the Scipii or is it basically the same thing?

[Makanyane]

re-naming the senate faction removes most of the senate functionality (though you can still use superfaction) - if you still wanted the remaining roman factions to operate with the senate offices etc - you should not re-name the senate....

if you want to get rid of senate tab - popularity etc.. yup rename the senate faction... I've posted a version of vanilla 1.5 where that is done, but its on TWC which is down at the moment...

So basically the only thing I can do to stop it is to rename the Scipii?
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do it?

I have no factions using the superfaction function. So as you suggest, it is possible that having it enabled for someone will trigger the messages.

Makanyane's Neutralized Senate download is your best bet. You can get it here. Just look at each file she included in the download, and go to your own and change the internal name in the places and the same way that she did. It is something I plan to eventually do myself when I get the time.
