There's a few posts on this but none of them explain it so I will.
MAKE A BACK UP COPY OF THE DESCR_STRAT JUST INCASE YOU MESS UP THEN YOU CAN REPLACE IT.
First you have to make the senate, brutii and scipii unplayable which is easy so copy this:
Code:
campaign imperial_campaign
playable
romans_julii
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
greek_cities
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
scythia
spain
thrace
numidia
britons
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
romans_senate
slave
end
Then scroll down to the start of the julii's bit of text and look for a line that is in between this:
Code:
faction romans_julii, comfortable caesar
denari 5000
settlement
and says super_faction senate. Delete that line so it looks like the code posted above. Under that there is the settlemens that the julii own, Arretium and Ariminum leave those alone keep scrolling down and you will get to the armies garrisoned inside the settlements, the diplomats and spys traits and skills same for the naval boats.
Then under those it's the family mebers part. Leave that aswell as you don't want your faction dieing half way through the game that looks like:
Code:
character_record Amulius Julius, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 13, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Manius Julius, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 10, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Decius Julius, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 7, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Marcus Julius, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 3, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Faustina, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 48, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Poppaea, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 29, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Alypia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 29, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Claudia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 28, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Fadia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 13, alive, never_a_leader
relative Flavius Julius, Faustina, Lucius Julius, Quintus Julius, Vibius Julius, end
relative Lucius Julius, Poppaea, Fadia, Decius Julius, Marcus Julius, end
relative Quintus Julius, Alypia, Amulius Julius, end
relative Vibius Julius, Claudia, Manius Julius, end
under that you will get
Code:
faction romans_brutii, balanced stalin
denari 5000
With the super_faction senate or something similar, delete that line again.
Under that bit of text is the text for the settlements that the brutii have highlight all that and cut it. Scroll up til you get to thi bit of text inside the julii's faction detials:
Code:
building
{
type hinterland_farms farms
}
}
then get two new lines after the last curly bracket in the code posted above and press control and V or right click and paste so now it should look like ths for the julii:
Code:
faction romans_julii, comfortable caesar
denari 5000
settlement
{
level large_town
region Etruria
year_founded 0
population 4000
settlement_tax 51
plan_set default_set

}
building
{

}
building
{

}
building
{

}
building
{

}

}

}

}
building
{

}
}

building

}
building
{

}
building
{
type barracks muster_field
}
building
{
type port_buildings port
}
building
{
type defenses wooden_pallisade
}
building
{
type hinterland_roads roads
}
building
{
type hinterland_farms farms
}
}
settlement
{

year_founded 0
population 4300

}

}
building
{

}
building

}
}
Now you need to define the units to go inside those settlements you gave to the julii.
So hightlight and cut this:
Code:
character Tiberius Brutus, named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 52, , x 114, y 57
traits GoodCommander 1, NaturalMilitarySkill 1, GoodAttacker 1, PoliticsSkill 2, Intelligent 1
ancillaries drillmaster
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 velite exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
character Aulus Brutus, named character, heir, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 34, , x 111, y 68
traits GoodCommander 1, PoliticsSkill 2, Rabblerouser 2, GoodAdministrator 2
ancillaries quartermaster
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 velite exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
character Marcus Attius, admiral, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 29, , x 120, y 64
army
unit naval biremes exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit naval biremes exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit naval biremes exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
character Luca Antonius, spy, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 23, , x 116, y 62
traits GoodSpy 4
character Caius Flaminius, diplomat, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 23, , x 112, y 63
traits GoodDiplomat 3
character Amulius Brutus, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 31, , x 116, y 64
traits GoodCommander 1, NaturalMilitarySkill 2, PoliticsSkill 1, Intelligent 2
ancillaries doctor
army
unit roman generals guard cavalry early exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman light cavalry exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman hastati exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman hastati exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman velite exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
character Vibius Brutus, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 30, , x 114, y 63
traits GoodCommander 1, GoodAdministrator 2, PoliticsSkill 1, Intelligent 2, MathematicsSkill 2
army
unit roman generals guard cavalry early exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman hastati exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman velite exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
Then go to where there is similar code for the julii and after the last line of text for
Code:
unit roman velite exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
hit enter twice and paste it in there.
now what you should have left for the brutii is the following:
Code:
faction romans_brutii, balanced stalin
denari 5000
character_record Cassius Brutus, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 14, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Titus Brutus, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 10, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Cornelius Brutus, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 7, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Oppius Brutus, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 3, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Galla, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 50, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Hostia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 30, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Lucilla, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 28, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Paulina, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 12, alive, never_a_leader
relative Tiberius Brutus, Galla, Aulus Brutus, Amulius Brutus, Vibius Brutus, end
relative Aulus Brutus, Hostia, Paulina, Titus Brutus, Oppius Brutus, end
relative Amulius Brutus, Lucilla, Cassius Brutus, Cornelius Brutus, end
Delete all of the family member stuff so your just left with
Code:
faction romans_brutii, balanced stalin
denari 5000
and thats the settlements that the brutii have under your control as the julii.
What you do now is replace the traits and ancillaries and make him into a normal general, I think this is your choice to do this but I do it anyway just to make sure.
I will use Tiberius Brutus for this as he's the first family member for the brutii. The code below is whats there for him and under that are his men.
Code:
character Tiberius Brutus, named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 52, , x 114, y 57
traits GoodCommander 1, NaturalMilitarySkill 1, GoodAttacker 1, PoliticsSkill 2, Intelligent 1
ancillaries drillmaster
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 velite exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
The bit you need to replace is
Code:
named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0,
And just replace that with You must leave
Code:
age 52, , x 114, y 57
As thats his age and where he starts the game.
Then you need to delete his traits and ancillaries
which are
Code:
traits GoodCommander 1, NaturalMilitarySkill 1, GoodAttacker 1, PoliticsSkill 2, Intelligent 1
ancillaries drillmaster
And be left with
Code:
character Tiberius Brutus, general, age 52, , x 114, y 57
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 velite exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
Do that for the rest of the settlements and generals for the scipii and the senate then save and quit. run your game and it should work fine if you have done it properly then when the game opens the senate missions will no longer be there, you will however get 3 messages saying that the senate, brutii and scipii have been destroyed. DO NOT CLICK THE SENATE TAB OR SENATE OFFICES BUTTON AS YOU WILL GET A CTD.
Rome under julii control
