Unlocking factions?

**Ganja** · 11-30-2006, 13:37

Hey Guys,

This has probably been discussed before but I fail to find any info on this...

I've played a short campaign with the English, conquering 15+ provs and killing off the Scots and Frogs. I got the victory screen and so I went back to the main menu to see whether I could play any of the locked faction - I can't!! They're still not unlocked.

So, my first question is why is that?
and secondly, how can I unlock them by editing?

Thanks
Ganja

Go to the medieval2.preference in the main total war directory and replace pref_factions_played = 0 to a 1

In my file it says pref_factions_played = 2097183 instead of 0

Should I still just change the value to 1?

Do as follows rather:

Open the medieval2.preference.cfg file and add this code line as text:

[misc]
unlock_campaign = true

Save the text file. Start a new campaign and Voila!

err, AFAIK it is done otherwise. Don't do that untill u are certain what to do. Dont know the specific file, but you have to edit a file in which you remove faction names from one area to another.
