Umm... in order to make BI, you'd need to increase faction limit, dude. Whether or not the factions from the two campaigns can be used in one is not yet known.Originally Posted by shifty157
Re: im lost
No. They have 17 factions. They call them "new" because they have new skins, models, etc. However, there are 21 factions now. Thus, there are actually less factions in BI than in RTW.
The expansion does not increase the faction limit.

Only if Bi comes as a seperate install. As long as BI expands the main game like VI and the old imperial campaign should still work they have to increase the faction limit by 17.
Re: im lost
Explain to me the specifics of how they would have to increase the faction limit if they even use their own text file switcher for a BI provincial campaign.
(As a modder, I can tell you they don't have to, there will be no raised faction limit)

Re: im lost
Ok I see you `re right, they don`t have to raise it.
Maybe I am too optimistic, but I still belive that they will do it. It would be very poor from CA ias developer if they just make another mod with some minor features. I have understood that they have only said in their FAQ that hardcoded limits will still be hardcoded.
We all will see what they have done or not in a few month, and I hope I am right.
Re: im lost
Maybe CA are embarrassed by the quality of the mods putting their own work to shame lol. Perhaps thats why they are giving modders less room to work with.

Re: im lost
There is more to factionslots than just textswaps and there are good reasons for CA to expand the current range. Or do you expect to see an export_descr_units_BI.txt with the Huns units assigned to the Carthage factionslot? And what about factionsymbols? Or culture types that are assigned to the factions in the code?
