Campaign Map

[Myrddraal]

The game must include both the senate faction and the province of rome. Some people have worked around this by putting the senate surrounded by deep forest and things like that, but in theory they must exist.

bugger eh oh well im assuming u could rename it an make it so that it has no influence on the game. Ie i could make it so that they were named REBELS and then just have them as unplable factions on a remote island in the middle of nowhere with no way to build a port lol. Also with the camp map i was wondering about the map_regions.tga and map_heights.tga. how do these 2 interact and by this i mean wot r the colours in map_heights that change the heights. i understand that black is like desert and varying degrees of white r mountains but does anyone know the RGB colours

The game requires that the senate faction be present, however, all that is required of it is a single character. If it has no cities and starts at war with all of the Roman families, the Senate's single character immediately becomes a rebel general and the senate is out of the game.

Yes, but the province of rome must exist, even if not in senate control, as it is the objective of the game...

ok well thanx for all the help guys i will look into it and try to find a way to work around it. one other question about editing the camp map, in paintshop pro 7 in order to add new provices, i was using the paint brush tool to add. but the paint brush tool not only creates a small dot(for example with cities) but also changes the colour of the pixels around the one i am changing so i try to place a city with a one piexl dot and it changes that one pixel as well as the ones surrounding it, but not completly they are a combo of the 2 colours. why is this and is there a better way to create new provinces/cities/ports

Use the pencil tool. Look at here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=44169
With pencil tool you will modify only the pixel selected.

Good luck.

thanx for the pencil tool hint it helped alot but now i have another question(lol im full of Q's today must have too much spare time) i have my own camp map edited but i keep getting an error message(when running with show_err) that tells me that my units i have placed are on invalid tiles. i cant just get rid of them because they r my generals and if i get rid of them the game wont run(no family members). i believe this has something to do with where my units r placed on the camp map at the start. but i dont know wot this is based on so please help!!! is it the x,y values in descr_strat.txt???
