    Default Play as Papal States?

    Is there any way to make the Papal States playable? I've searched this forum from end to end and haven't found what I'm looking for yet. Any help appreciated, thanks!

    In the beginning of most factions of the M2TW guides, there is instructions on how to manually unlock factions. Just paste the papal factions over to the playabel factions spot

    Hey, kinda new. Where can I get carl's mod? Could someone link us to it?

    I kinda looked through the mods forum and saw the ProblemFixer subforum, is that it? I saw a 1.21...

    By the way, the FAQ in the sticky section rocks, that's about all I've looked at since I got the game, well done.

    this is easy to do with the shelf and patched 1.1 version but it must be done properly.

    you go through my computer

    cdrive/program list/sega/medieval 2/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial campaign/

    click into descr_strat folder

    you will see the list of playable factions with the original 5 at the start of the game/ the list of the unlockable factions/ and the list of the non playable factions.

    in the non playable factions first note the exact text of the Papal_States and memorize it or write it down. now backspace out the name.

    go back up to the playable factions where the big 5 are and click on the area next to the last letter in the list and then press enter to form a new line and type in Papal_States in this new line.

    i know its pretty elementary explanation i just wanted to make it as easy to understand as possible.

    now when you click out you will discover a message that has something to do with the original folder. this is where my memory fades.

    but what you have to do is give this new modification a name that is different than the original. i would suggest descr_strat 1.

    then you will have 2 folders in the imperial campaign folder. one with descr_strat and one with descr_strat 1.

    now you take the original and rename it descr_strat 2.

    then go find the descr_strat 1 folder and retype it in as descr_strat only.

    click out of my computer.

    now when you start a new campaign you should have no problem playing as the papacy.

    Carl is still beta testing 1.22, but if you want to be a tester look up his thread in mod section and let him know.

    the papal states have some of the best infantry in the game with pavise crossbowmen, italian spearmen, papal guard and swiss guard, plus the halberdier and pikemen militia which when fully upgraded are pretty good in their own right.
