Short Campaign doesn't Unlock factions?

**Rilder** · 12-21-2006, 02:26

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:

To do this open your Sega/M2TW folder/data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign, find the file called "descr_strat" and open it with wordpad. Now find the section which says

Code:

campaign      imperial_campaign
playable
   england
   france
   hre
   spain
   venice
end
unlockable
   sicily
   milan
   scotland
   byzantium
   russia
   moors
   turks
   egypt
   denmark
   portugal
   poland
   hungary
end
nonplayable
   papal_states
   aztecs
   mongols
   timurids
   slave
end

Change it so it reads

Code:

campaign      imperial_campaign
playable
   england
   france
   hre
   spain
   venice
   sicily
   milan
   scotland
   byzantium
   russia
   moors
   turks
   egypt
   denmark
   portugal
   poland
   hungary
end
nonplayable
   papal_states
   aztecs
   mongols
   timurids
   slave
end
