Playable Slavs (BI)?

[Mouzafphaerre]

professorspatula, AFAIK, has mods to let you play as anybody you wish.

As Slavs appear later in the game, making them playavle involves two steps. Unfortunately, I can only help with the first.

• Backup \bi\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion\descr_strat.txt
• Open the original and move slavs from under nonplayable to under playable (cut and paste). Save and close.
• Backup \bi\data\text\campaign_descriptions.txt
• Open the original and add the following to the bottom:
  

  {BARBARIAN_INVASION_SLAVS_TITLE}The Slavs
  {BARBARIAN_INVASION_SLAVS_DESCR}Slavs description

  You can find a suitable text, or write one yourself instead of 'Slavs description' but it would be for eye candy and immersion. Save and exit.

You have made the Slavs playable but if you try to start a campaign with them, you will come up with an empty campaign map with nothing to do because you do not exist yet. You should either modify the starting date so that Slavs will be on the map, or modify the emergence (unless it's hardcoded like Romano-Brits) to happen at the original starting date. How to do that is beyond my knowledge.
