cant open up all fractions

[steve]

i downloaded the mod or whatever it is and did what it told me to do. but for some reason when i go to the imperial campain screen only the the 3 fractions remain open. I am pretty sure i am doing it right because i have done it before but then i had to reinstall everything, but now it doesnt seem to work.

in this game, unlike MTW, you need to beat the faction before playing as them. But not all factions are playable anyway, the senate isnt and pontus and I think a couple others Im not sure.

You can play all factions. just use the mod steve was talking about.

no idea why it wont work for you steve

This is a totalwar board. If ya wanna know more about fractions go to a math forum!!!!

You want all factions, not fractions, I presume. (Dude, I can play as 3/4, 4/9, and 34/67! )

Go to (RTW)\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

Then edit the text file descr_strat.txt. You'll see a list of factions under different headings: playable, unlockable, unplayable. Take every faction and cut&paste them under the 'playable' heading, EXCEPT slaves and senate. You aren't supposed to play as these and you'll get bad bugs if you do.


(Edit: Darn it, Oaty, you beat me to the joke. )

ok thanks, i will try that. i think the senate was listed under playable also.
