Unlock all factions in the campaign

[Roman_Man#3]

well, to simplify it, and to basically say the exact same thing, follow this. go to the rome directory, enter the data folder, enter the world folder, open maps, open campaign, open imerial_campaign, and open descr_strat. at the top, it will say(minus the first few lines)

campaign		imperial_campaign
playable
	romans_julii
	romans_brutii
	romans_scipii
end
unlockable
	egypt
	seleucid
	carthage
	parthia
	gauls
	germans
	britons
	greek_cities
end
nonplayable
	romans_senate
	macedon
	pontus
	armenia
	dacia
	scythia
	spain
	thrace
	numidia
	slave
end

now cut the unlockable factions. and paste them into the playable section. it should look something like this:

campaign		imperial_campaign
playable
	romans_julii
	romans_brutii
	romans_scipii
             egypt
	seleucid
	carthage
	parthia
	gauls
	germans
	britons
	greek_cities
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
	romans_senate
	macedon
	pontus
	armenia
	dacia
	scythia
	spain
	thrace
	numidia
	slave
end

then copy the unplayable factions into the playable, or unlockable section, but not both. it should look like this:

campaign		imperial_campaign
playable
	romans_julii
	romans_brutii
	romans_scipii
             egypt
	seleucid
	carthage
	parthia
	gauls
	germans
	britons
	greek_cities
             macedon
	pontus
	armenia
	dacia
	scythia
	spain
	thrace
	numidia
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
	romans_senate
	slave
end

or

campaign		imperial_campaign
playable
	romans_julii
	romans_brutii
	romans_scipii
             egypt
	seleucid
	carthage
	parthia
	gauls
	germans
	britons
	greek_cities
end
unlockable
             macedon
	pontus
	armenia
	dacia
	scythia
	spain
	thrace
	numidia
end
nonplayable
	romans_senate
	slave
end

there you go, they should all work, except the factions in the unlockable section. you will only be able to play them when you beat the campaign, or when the faction is destroyed in game.

a few rules to remember when doing this.

you cannot play as the roman senate or slaves doing this. always make a back up (the original) file of the actual descr_strat in your documents(or else where, besides the data folder. the last rule also applies to anyfile you modify. MAKE A BACK UP IN CASE SOMETHING GOES HORRIBLY WRONG!!!!!!!
and always use -show_err in the command line. on your desktop, right click on the RTW shortcut, and click properties. at the end of the target line, add
-show_err.

hope it helps. if anything goes wrong, the -show_err should tell you whats wrong. if it doesnt, post it here, and someone will help you.
