    Greetings, total newbie here.

    Caius, thank you for this guide. It is very helpful so far.

    Two questions come to mind:
    1-Can one change the name of a 'named character' just by altering it in descr_strat.txt?
    2-Can one assign the portrait of a 'named character' in descr_strat.txt, or does that happen somewhere else?

    Thanks.

    Welcome Aristeiders the Younger to the tw.org forums.

    1- Of course you can. Lets take an example:
    Flavius Julius
    He can be named like you want to, always if that name you give him is in descr_names.txt
    2-IT's not possible, you could try to change the portrait though.

    Caius, i was just wondering, where do you put the copy of the descr_strat file, is it literally in the same directory as the original, or is it in a different folder???
    Otherwise a good Guide, just cant figure out this bit

    Rome will look for the file called "descr_strat.txt", if you have a copy called for example "descr_strat2.txt" or "copy of descr_strat.txt", the game wont look those files. They can be anywhere you want.

    Thanks a bundle, i would just like to point out to a few fellow Vista Users, as i have said on many of the recent threads i have posted on, you will need to turn the UAC off to make this saveable on a Vista, as you will need administrator rights, which you will not have as a vista account doesnt.
    Need help unpacking the files and your computer is a Vista??? Visit this thread
    Visit the Holy Babe Thread There are no excuses for not visiting us there, apart from
    1. Your Wierd
    2. Your Under aged
    3. Your a girl
    But then, why dont girls make a 'hunk' thread or something???

    I just have a question about the portraits question asked earliers, i looked at your coded text before:

    character Flavius Julius, named character, leader, age 47, , x 89, y 82
    traits GoodCommander 2 , NaturalMilitarySkill 1 , GoodDefender 1 , PoliticsSkill 3 , GoodAdministrator 2 , Austere 1
    ancillaries aged_retainer
    army
    unit roman generals guard cavalry early exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit roman hastati exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit roman hastati exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit roman triarii exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit roman archer exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

    Does the x 89 or y 82 not refur to which portrait it might choose??? Or am i a mile off???

    I got it wrong, never mind, it changes the position of your general, no his portrait
