Unlocking Factions

[Suraknar]

Hello,

I hope I am discussing this in the right area ;)

Also, I am not sure if this has been discussed before but has anyone actually been able to unlock the other factions without using the "All Factions Mod".

Because it hapened to me and I am not sure what Unlocked them.

I am thinking that the Factions become available when they are Completelly conquered, that is how close I can come to this, I started a Campaign as the Julii, and eliminated the Gauls and then Carthage, and when I tryed to start a new Campaign Gaul and Carthage were available as playable Factions.

Anyone has observed this aswell? Or maybe point me in the thread discussing this in case this is really old news.

From what I've heard is that you need to complete the Campaign once over before these factions are unlocked. Doesn't really matter if they're conquered or not I think....

Someone correct me if I heard wrongly

I believe each faction unlocks a few factions with campaign completion and also fully conquering a group may let you unlock them. But I have had some experience where the group did not become unlocked or where I unlocked a group I never fought. I think there are more requirements, maybe before unlocking you must finish campaign, or each faction gets a set of factions that are automatically unlocked after campaign. Also maybe all the romans unlock the most imminent threat to their lands. Julii=Gauls, Brutii=Macedon ians or Greeks, Scipii=Carthage. This seems likely because I have not conquered Carthage but I have unlocked them...

Your wrong. Sutle enough? No offense, just my personality lol!

Yea before I just downloaded in the all-ulockable-mod, I was playing as the Scippi, because their color is Blue and that is my favorite color, makes sense enough eh? Anyways back to the subject at hand; I conquered Carthage & another small faction, dont quite remember which one that one was. I then tried to start a new campaign, with Carthage, the roman families, and another faction that I dont remember as my choices; desiring to be the Greeks, is when I went ahead & got the patch. So yes, they unlock as you Completely conquer them as you go through the game. You do not have to finish your first Campaign to have them all unlocked, just as you go through and take them out, their unlocked. That's the way it is on my PC.

Some factions are unlocked simply by winning a campaign (short or long)

All factions can be unlocked by editing the Rome-Total War files.

Look in Data > world > maps > campaign > imperial_campaign

You need to modify the descr_strat text document so that all unplayable or locked factions appear under the playable heading. There is a post here somewhere that shows this; I tried to show how it would look but the formatting got eaten


Back up all files before doing anything

Siris,

He is actually right and you are partially right as well. Conquering another playable faction (ie. NOT Numidia or Spain) does make them playable however completing the Roman campaign is supposed to unlock all playable factions.

I'm surprised you even played as the Romans - I thought you would have modded the game immediately to play your beloved Spartans
