Hi ilikethisgame5,
To play as all factions, simply enter your "C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign" folder. Simply select the file name "descr_strat.txt" (or simply "descr_strat" if file extensions are hidden).

This brilliant modding file will currently look like this:

All you have to do is change it to (the spaces at the front are used using the tab keys):

Now you can open up R:TW and play Armenia, or any other faction that was previously non-playable

Hope this helps, don't hesitate to contact me if you are having any problems, good luck, cheers!

BTW, if you have patched up to 1.3 or have Barbarian Invasion and have not patched any further, then, sadly, this method will, most unfortunately, not work without any much more serious and highly advanced modding! Sorry.

c: stands for hard drive or disk, so u simply click on start and then my computer then go into the hard drive and follow the direction omanes said

P.S If u have gold it is the creative asembly instaed of activision Activision

how do you get to the first part?

hit the 'windows buton' (between ctrl and alt) and e at the same time.

windows explorer will open.

if there is a '-' beside 'my computer' go to next step, if not click on the '+' beside 'my computer'

click on the '+' beside Local Disk (C:)

click on the '+' beside the program files folder

If you have RTW gold edition: hit the '+' beside The creative assembly folder

If you have standard RTW: hi the '+' beside Activision folder

right click on RTW and click search

search for 'descr_strat'

open it

Highlight the factions you want to move into the playable space, hit ctrl+x (cut)

paste them in the playable section

save the file

start up RTW and play as who ever you want!

NOTE: YOU SHOULD MAKE A BACK UP OF THIS FILE FIRST!!!!

Yep, you have to delete them or you get a horrible CTD when you attempt to open up the campaign screen.
