cant open up all fractions

[steve]

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

Wait, what mod are you talking about?

[HicRic]

There's a mod to make all factions unlocked; although a simple text file edit suffices so I don't see it's purpose.

I wouldn't play as the Senate! I think the game gets very confused if you do. Crazy things might happen, like the Senate trying to outlaw itself...maybe. For all I know, it works fine, but if you play as them, be prepared for weirdness.

No, I meant the mod steve originally used. He might be using the imperial campaign instead of a provincial campaign.

[steve]

whats the difference?

[chemchok]

For starters, provincial and imperial campaigns have different descr_strat.txt files, so provincial campaigns can have different playable faction selections (if that was intended by the modders). Beyond that, there could be plenty of differences.

For example, the tutorial sons of mars campaign is setup as a provincial campaign - IIRC, there are only 4 factions in that campaign besides the Romans.

so how do i play the provincial instead of imperial?
