jbluvchild, check this topic for details of both the unlocking system and a link to the mod.

Quietus, I'll PM the Colosseum mods.

Hi
pls help me
maybe this sounds stupid but i read in the rome TW manual that it is possible to play other factions then the three roman ones. and i read some guides about other factions in this forum as well. BUT HOW DO I PLAY THESE OTHER FACTIONS???? =) when i start singleplayer campain i can only choose between the three roman houses.
am i just stupid or is it really that difficult?

To unlock the other factions you need to finish any of the Roman campaigns on any difficulty; even an easy/easy short campaign will do. I did it on normal/normal with the Julii short campaign.

Another suggestion: a thread with links to other guides. There is no need to restrict this forum to contributions of Org members. We could start with the Gamespy guide and add new ones as they become available.

I have added a topic for links to outside pages and tools. You can advertise the Gamespy guide there.

Hi,

I just wanted to give those kind enough to write these guides a biggie-sized vote of thanks. Whether one is experienced or not, it's always valuable to read another's strategies. Heck, it's almost as much fun to read about R:TW as it is to play. (Or mod.)

I wish that you could unlock more factions. I was upset when you couldnt unlock people like the Dacians and the Numidians!

A lot of the non-playable factions are more fun than the un-lockable ones. Macedon and Pontus are ace!

Macedon and Pontus are ace!

Lets not forget about awesome Numidia!!!!

Has there ever been an explanation of why some factions are unplayable when playing them causes no campaign issues at all? I mean, I understand not having the Senate or the Rebels unlockable, they break the game - but Pontus? Armenia? Numidia? Sure, some of 'em aren't in great positions at the start of the game, but just label them as advanced, high difficulty factions or something.

Has CA ever explained the logic (or lack thereof) in that decision?
