An Introduction to Modding

[Lentonius]

Sorry, but you cannot create new factions, you can only have the amount in-game. But, if you wanted, you could try to make the 3 Romans into 3 Greek City states and have only one roman faction...

For this you would need to:

Mod some text files (tutorials can be found on this forum)
Make a unified Rome, and remove senate missions
Possibly make a bigger map, or add some more regions (you would need photoshop for this).

If you have any questions, just post on the modding questions forum and people will help you

Thanks for the info. It's a pity i can't add new factions but i think i will unify rome and make the main three city states of greece, thanks for the help.

Surely you'll have then 3 greek state with a roman culture?

[Lusted]

You can change the culture of factions.

Oh! I always thought you need 4 romans, 3 greeks, 4 barbs, 2 carth. and 1 egyptian and 1 slave! Ca aidera..

the earlier versions of the game had some culture limitations - as far as I know patches 1.5 and 1.6 don't - though you have to change one of the files to do with walls if you try not having any of a culture in (show_err will tell you which file if you get that problem)

Maybe I'll try the unified Rome and 3 Greek city-states thing.
Though I'd probably need to make some new,distinct units...
And I may need photoshop,too.

Edit: What are settlement name limitations. The three main poleis of Greece were Athens,Sparta,and Thebes,the latter of which three are already present in Egypt. Though I could also use an ethnic name for the Greek Thebes.
