Hi there and welcome,
May I suggest that you try this modification which unlocks all of the non-playable factions in Barbarian Invasion, including the emergant ones. Good luck and enjoy your play as one of the non-playable factions. Cheers.

[Globe]

Hi again,
May I suggest that you go into your descr_strat text file which will be in either Program Files/The Creative Assembly/Rome: Total War/BI/data/world/maps/campaign/barbarian_invasion/descr_strat.txt or Program Files/Activision/Rome: Total War/BI/data/world/campaign/barbarian_invasion/descr_strat

Once you have done that then change this:

campaign        barbarian_invasion
options bi
playable
    huns
    goths
    sarmatians
    vandals
    franks
    saxons
    alemanni
    sassanids
    empire_east
    empire_west
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
    romano_british
    celts
    burgundii
    lombardi
    roxolani
    ostrogoths
    slavs
    berbers
    empire_east_rebels
    empire_west_rebels
    slave
end

To this:

campaign        barbarian_invasion
options bi
playable
    huns
    goths
    sarmatians
    vandals
    franks
    saxons
    alemanni
    sassanids
    empire_east
    empire_west
    berbers
    celts
    burgundii
    lombardi
    roxolani
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
    romano_british
    ostrogoths
    slavs
    empire_east_rebels
    empire_west_rebels
    slave
end

Good luck and enjoy your play. Please remember that you can't play as emergent faction without a modification. Good luck and cheers.

[Globe]

Well, I have modificated it. Hopefully it is doing it now, but thanks! Badly enough you cant play the other factions, and can u change cost of units and timeline'?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Yes, you can change the timespan and the cost of units. Unfortunately me, being the absolute idiot that I am, have no modding skill so I cannot help you with the second one. You could ask in this modding forum and the modding geniuses there may be able to help you. Good luck. Cheers.

[Globe]

OH!!!!! I ruined it! If I click start new campaign then i cant and there is standing: please select a unit from the list, can u help me 1 time again and

You appear to be missing the tab in from of each faction. It should look like this:

    huns
    goths
    sarmatians
    vandals

    saxons

    burgundii

end

    slavs

end

To fix your problem you need to press the tab key infront of every faction's name. If you still struggle then you can PM me your e-mail address and I will send you a working copy of my file so that you can overwrite your existing one. Good luck.

[Globe]

It already does it, I checked the thread: Celts at RTW Guide. Now its alright ^^

[Globe]

Ehm not alright tough, I want alllll the factions. But I dont know how to do I just got the list with Winzip but now I dont now how to get it in some kind of map. Please help me in verrrrrrrry smal steps :)

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi again,
Sadly, to unlock all, of them you need to download the mod which I mentioned a while ago. Unfortunately the link does not seem to be working, it may have something to do with TWC's recent tragedy, so may I suggest that you try this alternate download link. Good luck with playing all factions, and watch out for the hordes! Cheers.

[Globe]

Yes, I downloaded it. But how do u get the list from Winzip whit all the factions and some % behind it in your BI map'?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

I suggest that you just read the readme. It should tell you everything about what you have to do Globe. Good luck!

Well, ive got it looking right, but when i went to play it it didnt work
