Rebel Factions

[Hoginator01]

Some of the rebel factions in RTW are as follows: Brigantes, Trinovantes, Suebi, Saxones, many others. I've noticed that each of these groups has specific types of units for each group. In other words the slave units are not universally available to all of these groups. Does anyone know a way to edit this? If so please explain or point me in the right direction. I would like to add units to each of these groups and increase their versatility, but I don't know what file to edit for this.

RTW\Data\descr_rebel_factions.txt is the main file you want to look at. In it there is an entry for every type of Rebel. Like so:

rebel_type			Brigantes	//Britons
category			peasant_revolt
chance				0					
description			Brigantes
unit				barb peasant
unit				barb peasant
unit				barb infantry slave
unit				barb infantry slave
unit				barb infantry slave
unit				barb slinger briton
unit				barb chariot heavy briton
unit				barbarian rebel general

The more often a unit is listed here, the more of them will spawn when the rebels appear.

The description line points to an entry in RTW\Data\Text\rebel_faction_descr.txt. This tells the game what name to display in the game. The name in brackets in left column is the internal name, matching what you see in descr_rebel_factions.txt. The name to the right is what is actually shown in the game.

The chance line is the precentage chance of a revolt, with the number listed multiplied by 5%. So a value of 4 would be a 20% chance. It is also the amount of unrest that is always found in a region with those rebels assigned to it, except when in the hands of the original owner.

Rebel factions are assigned to each region in RTW\Data\World\Maps\Base\Descr_Regions.txt. Like so:

Britannia_Inferior
	Eburacum
	britons
	Brigantes
	232 41 198
	slaves, lead, dogs, pigs
	5
	5

The fourth line down is the name of the rebel faction, which is the rebel_type line in descr_rebel_factions.txt
