GUIDE: Basics of descr_strat.txt

[Mek Simmur al Ragaski]

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

[Caius]

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.

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

quick question: i did the non-playable to unlockable changes in the first post, but it crashes me back to the desktop when I select certain factions:
Scythia
Spain
Thrace
Pontus
Armenia
Dacia
Numidia

I'm playing RTW, the Gold Edition, so I'm thinking that might have affected things. Completely vanilla btw.

how do I fix this?

Welcome eliterun to the org!

Are you using the 1.3 version of Rome? If so, then that version disables all the non-playable factions, but that can be fixed.
