Manifest Destiny: A Massalian AAR

Oh, thank you soooo much for the comments! Warms my little black heart!

It's just a matter of making a few changes to a few .txt files... changing names is not nearly as difficult as adding new units with appropriate recruitment areas.

Yeah, I have to completely agree. In fact, you only need to change one text file (as far as I know, anyways...?) to change names, and that's expanded_bi.txt in the data/text folder; you just open that text file and change all entries with your chosen faction to its new name. Pretty easy, as you say.

Adding new units is a bit more difficult, though. I've given some Hellenic units a wider area of recruitment for Epeiros in the Hellenic colonies of the western Mediterranean, and it's a bit of a headache going through the EDB file. But it isn't too bad if you have all your rare resources ready at hand...

what i meant is, do you remember all the changes you've done to the game?

Maybe? Lol. I guess. Yeah. But... Yeah, sure. No? Uh... yeaaaahnooo... (thank God I made backups)

Would this be Save-game compatible? I want to rename a few of the factions since they've grown a bit since the beginning of my current game.

Wow, so many alternate factions!

Just out of curiosity, do the Galathraikes still have the Casse chariot bodyguards/do the Mauretanians still have Kinsmen heavy cavalry bodyguards?

Yep, completely save-game compatible.

The Casse still have their chariots, but at the particular moment when I was re-naming the Maurisioi, I felt invigorated enough to go into the EDU file and change their bodyguards to Libyan nobles.

Good call, I was just thinking how it would be a waste to have a non-Punic North African faction and not make use of those Libyan bodyguards. As for the Galathraikes, I'm not even sure what you would use for a Celto-Thracian faction anyways. I guess it would be either Brihentin or Phylakes Daoi. Or maybe the "Celtic Lesser King" units.
