How many ...

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 01-07-2008, 09:24

.. factions can be in RTW or RTW:BI ??

In MTW2 there can be 31 factions .. right??
But how many in RTW and RTW:BI??
Just 21 factions??
And when I want to add another faction in to the game I must change one of those factions that allready exist??

Exactly. 20 + slave..

The number of factions is hard coded into the game. You'll need to take another faction and change all the necessary data to make a 'new' faction.

... traits can be added?

**Aradan** · 01-07-2008, 15:22

There is no known limit I think...

Also .. another question ..
If I delete a faction from the descr_strat.txt and descr_sm_factions.txt file I have removed them from game??
No need to remove them from another files???

Why would you delete it from sm_factions? If you want to remove faction from campaign you only need to delete its entries in DS. Descr_strat is ok I know, sm_factions should cause problems I think.. but not sure..

I deleted its entries from descr_strat.txt file but the game is crashing now!!

I wanted to remove the roman empire rebel factions from rtw:bi .. does the game crashes because of that?? because if so is there another file that I need to look for those factions??

Also .. I changed the descr_regions.txt file to make the world mostly pagan and reducing christians to Jerusalem and some other cities .. but when I load the game and I check the settlement there is 70% christians (or what ever the nr was originally) where should be 100% pagans??????????
Is there something I've missed??

don't delete them from sm_factions - but you need to remove the part of the lines in there about shadowing, them shadowing the empire_east/west and in the empire_east/west sections about them being shadowed by the rebels.

(game doesn't like it if you have factions shadowing each other and don't include one of them in strat)

not sure on the descr_regions religion problem - did you delete your map.rwm?

also make sure you are altering the version of the file in the lowest folder, eg the one in your campaign folder if one exists and not necessarily the one in the /base folder.
