I just finished my spanish short campaign, and I went to start a new campaign and I was shocked to see that no new factions were unlocked, is this a bug? I couldnt even play as the portugeese that I destroyed myself..
Also I read the FAQ on how to unlock them myself, I just didnt want to...

It does, quit the game and come back, the factions will be there.
restarted the game, Portugal is unlocked but no other factions(besides the ones you can start with by default :P)
I didnt have a problem when I did it. I played a short English Campaign and it unlocked all the others for me.
Did you win or lose the short camp??
I just didnt complete a grand camp as the french in the turn limit and I didnt get the unlocks
strangely turkey disappeared and egypt appeared in its place???

You can unlock them manually by following these instructions:

Change it so it reads

I wish for you to read my post. If you had read it you would of knoticed that I didnt wan't to unlock the factions via file editing at all, at least for now...
Yunus, it was short campaign I won, anyways if I have to beat all the factions myself to play them its no prob, just started a M/M Venice game and im getting my behind handed to me... everyone wants to betray me, even the pope it seems, my popularity keeps going down....
Hmmm - sorry mate, i was skim reading and missed that part :(
And if you won the short campaign, then they should be unlocked, so i'd see no problem in doing it manually since you've definitely earned it (but this is from a guy who unlocked them from the word go)

Yep, winning the short campaign should definitely unlock everything. I wonder why it didn't for you.
When I played my first campaign (short), each country that I defeated became available to play IMMEDIATELY, and all of them were unlocked as soon as I'd beaten the campaign.
I know, I know, you don't want to mod anything even if you deserve it, but if you change your mind, there is a WAY easier way to do it. Just go to your medieval2.preference.cfg file (in the MTWII root directory), and add the following lines to the end:
[misc]
unlock_campaign = true
That will tell the game you've finished the campaign (which you HAVE ^_^). The next time you start the game, everything will be as it should be, and those two lines will even magically disappear from your file!
Regardless of your choice, have fun!

Hmmmm, did you finish it after installing the new patch? Possibly there's been a change in the rules now?
yea it was after the patch. it would be interesting if they turned off the unlock all factions after finished campaign, might make the campaign a challenge to get the factions you want to play the hardway, lot funner too. :D
I just got the definitive version, and did the english short campaign, yet nothing got unlocked, not even scotland
I cant even figure out how to look at the files to do it manually

That was described in post 7 of this thread.I cant even figure out how to look at the files to do it manually
Look in folder:
J:\TotalWar\Medieval II\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
or whereever you have installed your game.
Open file descr_strat.txt
For me it shows:
