Playing for Galatians, yes yes it is possible!

I never managed to move the starting characters, even with their real names, with the move_character command. In 0.8 it worked, in 1.0 not. Maybe I don't read the names correctly?

What I did was changing the starting positions of the characters in the descr_strat file. It's simple enough. Just don't forget to backup the file.

Right. Gah.

In 0.8 it worked, in 1.0 not.

It worked in 1.2, not in 1.5...

Actually in my current Aedui campain I am resting and building up my econ. Then I'll build like 6 full stacks and do a re-conquest/settlement of Galatia. I also plan to sack Alexandria, AS's capital, kill Pontus. Then I'll and sack Hydastan, and MAYBE I'll hit Backtria.

right now its 198, I have all western Europe and part of the Balkans. Chilling defending my borders and putting my $$ in the Bank

Sounds like a great idea. I'll try it out, myself. Although, there is one thing that troubles me. If I migrate my entire faction (Aedui) to Galatia, won't I lose my ability to create homeland troops? I would prefer to have homeland Botroas swordsmen and Laosatae slingers in my army, as well as a few Galatian mercs. The celtic swordsmen look as if they could pass off as "pure" Galatians (blondish hair and all). I say this because I would also rather have some variety to my troop selections since there are only 3 "pure" Galatian units. I guess my real question is, is there ANY way I can keep my homeland Aedui soldiers if I migrate my entire faction to Galatia?

Botroas, celtic slingers, archers and cavalery even Gaesatae or their Galatian version. As for the Aedui have Galatia is a Expansion teritory ( so you get a gov 2 there) I wonder why the Arveni dont have Galatia as their Expansion, it would really make it more interesting in Asia minor if Ankyra rebeled to them.
