    this is really embarrassing to admit, but i can't figure out where i need to go to edit the start up cash for the Turks(or any of the other factions). when i load the game, all i can find is a map editor.

    i've also tried looking in the program files or whatever but i'm not having any luck finding the start up cash for any of the factions. i feel like an idiot but i'd love to be able to learn how to make these changes.

    You do not load the game to change starting gold values :)

    Open your Total War folder; open campmap; open strartpos; there should now be files labeled "Early", "High" and "Late"

    drone's instructions should take you the rest of the way to your goal =)

    thanks sooo much for the help. i can't wait to start a new campaign.

    i finally realized that i was looking in the wrong folder. there was a Medieval Total War folder and a Creative Assembly folder and i'd been looking in the MTW folder,instead of CA.

    i tripled the start up cash for the Turks but i didn't give them any new units or anything. hopefully, they'll have enough cash to get rolling and dominate that part of the map.

    Chris,

    Get a copy of the Gnome Editor. From there you can, very easily, change building requirements and support costs etc. It really is a game changer when you learn how to text mod yourself.

    Gl!

    i downloaded the gnome editor awhile back but i've never used it. can it be used to change the buldings that factions start out with? i'd love to be able to give the Teutonic Order a Citadel, instead of a castle in Livonia.

    No. To change starting buildings and rosters you need to work directly in the startpos dir. But that's kinda straight forward, so shouldn't be a problem. Just scroll down in your "HIGH.txt" 'til you see "Makebuilding::" Find Livonia and replace the information. Citadel is called "Castle10". That's it.

    thanks for the help. i think i'll go ahead and add some buildings for the Turks, as well. it doesn't seem like giving them extra cash is enough help. they're still getting crushed by the Byz in the last couple of campaigns that i've tried to play.
