Thread: Unlocking other factions?

    Default Unlocking other factions?

    Hi, I'm quite new to MTW2. In grand Campaign there are only 6 playable factions. Do others become available once you complete a successful campaign?

    The direct way to unlock all factions is to win a short campaign with any of the available starting factions.

    You could also edit the descr_strat file to unlock all... See in any of the faction guides how it is done.

    Unlocking factions ABC

    1. Open descr_strat.txt file. Default location should be: C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

    2. Move all factions you want to be playable into playable section like this:


    ; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor

    campaign imperial_campaign
    playable
    england
    france
    hre
    spain
    venice
    sicily
    milan
    scotland
    byzantium
    russia
    moors
    turks
    egypt
    denmark
    portugal
    poland
    hungary
    end
    unlockable

    end
    nonplayable
    papal_states
    mongols
    timurids
    aztecs
    slave
    end



    3. Leave papal_states, slaves, aztecs, mongols and timurids into nonplayable section.

    4. Save changes.

    5. Start M2TW and all factions should be playable.

    Hope this helped.

    Absolutely. The system works the same as RTW so completing the short or long campaign would unlock all other playable factions. Similarly destroying a faction on the campaign map would also unlock that particular faction which is destroyed by you.

    Obviously you could also do it the quick way, just as the guys suggested.

    Thanks. Think I'll do it the honest way and complete my current campaign.

    Another way is to destroy the nation and then you get the chance to play as them same as in R:TW

    Sorry, didn't see Quintus's post.

    Winning a brief campaign with any of the various beginning factions is the quickest method to unlock all factions. You may also unlock everything by editing the descr strat file... See how it's done in any of the faction manuals. Another option is to destroy the nation, allowing you to play as them, similar to R:TW. Please accept my apologies for missing Quintus's comment.
