Playing with Julii as ONLY Roman Family

[ShapolioKhan]

hi masters of RTW moding :)

i've been trying to play as Julii asonly Roman faction in the game but i ve failed all the time.

Its the list what i've done;

1)edited descr_strat and deleted other roman family members from the text file and gave their cities to rebels, gave Julii cities to rebels as well, set Rome as the capital and the only city for Julii.(made other cities villages and deleted all their buildings cuz i wanna build them by myself)
2)Placed Julii family members and spy/diplomat in the borders of Latium.
3)Placed rebel soldiers to the cities i gave them.
4)edited descr_regions file and swaped default culture to julii as other romans wont be in the game.

what do you tihnk? whats wrong or missing?
please help me to DO IT!!

many thanks...

PS:in descr_regions.txt

region tag
; settlement tag
; default culture tag
; map RGB value
; comma-seperated resource list
; triumph point value
; base farm level
Means;

reion name
Settlement name
we'll write default culture here (romans_julii in italic cities)
RGB ????????
understood
ok
ok.
what is RGB value? maybe this can be my mistake?

[Silver Rusher]

RGB value is the colour of the province in map_regions.tga red green and blue. I don't think that has anything to do with what you want to do though. There was a good guide in the Scriptorium on this but I can't find it.

also searched forum by using the search bar at the top but couldnt find anything.


ok, now i know its not RGB.

but there's stg in the file;

Britannia_Inferior -> Region tag
Eburacum -> Settlement tag
britons ->Default Culture
Brigantes -> ???? (Rebels?)
232 41 198 -> RGB
lead, dogs, pigs -> Resource
5 -> tr. point
5 -> base farm level

i sadly see that there isnt any helpfull people out here...
emperialist world, everybody is in its own bussiness ha?

i am trying until 11 am, still having CTDs (i write -show_err).
no warnings just CTD.

[ShapolioKhan]

i've discovered that, when i give brutii and scipii cities to julii, camp.map loads but when i give those cities to "slaves" and make them rebel cities, the game first loads Camp.map again but when i move 1 of my army of spy or diplomat when city comes "in sight" game CTD. i mean i cannot see the city. when it stay in fog of war, its ok, but when i move close to city game CTD!!!
very interesting...

4)edited descr_regions file and swaped default culture to julii as other romans wont be in the game.

There is no reason to edit descr_regions.txt to do what you want to do. You should go back to using "macedon" for Etruria, Umbria, Latium, Apulia, Campania, Bruttium, and Sicilia Romanus. Also,whenever you modify descr_regions.txt, you need to delete map.rwm - the game will rebuild it.

However, my guess is that your problem is in descr_strat.txt. If you've removed all of the roman factions except the Julii, you need to remove the line "superfaction romans_senate" from what appears below:

faction	romans_julii, comfortable caesar
superfaction romans_senate

Have you done this?

[ShapolioKhan]

i am using 1.2 version. there isnt "superfaction romans_senate" line.

[Monkwarrior]

i am using 1.2 version. there isnt "superfaction romans_senate" line.

Did you eliminate the senate?

I'm not sure if this was possible in 1.2.

Why not moving to 1.5?

[ShapolioKhan]

cuz i cant :(
when i load 1,3 or 1,5 my compu CTD after a few minutes it loads Campaing map. (asus 128 mb 9520 Magic)

btw, i realized that if i give brutii and scipii and rome to julii, game works.
but if i give julii, brutii and scipii cities to rebels and give Rome to Julii, game doesnt work (CTD before camp.map. )

help is still needed, please HELP!
