    Because so much has been changed in the 1.2 patch, almost every mod, especially the big ones such as TotalRealism, will not work.

    As for the factions being unlocked, there is a thread somewhere here explaining how to do it yourself for the factions normally playable (change one file I think). If it's the non-playable factions you want to play as, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a new version of TotalRealism that is compatible with the 1.2 patch.

    to unlock the unlockable factions goto:

    C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

    then open the descr_strat.txt file

    you will then see:

    campaign imperial_campaign
    playable
    romans_julii
    romans_brutii
    romans_scipii
    end
    unlockable
    egypt
    seleucid
    carthage
    parthia
    gauls
    germans
    britons
    greek_cities
    end
    nonplayable
    romans_senate
    macedon
    pontus
    armenia
    dacia
    scythia
    spain
    thrace
    numidia
    slave
    end

    change this to:

    campaign imperial_campaign
    playable
    romans_julii
    romans_brutii
    romans_scipii
    macedon
    pontus
    armenia
    dacia
    scythia
    spain
    thrace
    numidia
    egypt
    seleucid
    carthage
    parthia
    gauls
    germans
    britons
    greek_cities
    end
    unlockable
    end
    nonplayable
    romans_senate
    slave
    end

    this should work!!!

    cheers


    NB: i can't get the spaces right but you will see what i mean when you open the file

    i had to uninstall and reinstall (i needed the space), but now i need to complete the tutorial and a short campaign in order to unlock the various non-roman factions.

    how can i get around this?

    i seem to remember a file in that same folder that simply said "yy" in it and nothing else. is that 'yes tutorial is done, yes short campaign is done...' ? so that all the unlockable factions are unlocked?

    open up the pref file and change: FIRST_TIME_PLAY :TRUE to FIRST_TIME_PLAY :FALSE

    doing that skips the need to do the tutorial
