It should be under all factions

[This message has been edited by hyperkill (edited 07-01-2007 @ 08:55 PM).]

There's plenty of mods that make all factions playable. I can email the one I downloaded to you if you want.

This will work if you have RTW 1.5. I cannot vouch for it working on any other version.

Go to: RTW\World\Maps\Campaign\Imperial_Campaign\descr_strat.txt

Make a copy of it for a backup to be on the safe side. I am not kidding. If you screw this up, your game is hosed. Open up the original. You will see the beginning looks like this:

;

Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor

campaign imperial_campaign
playable

romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii

end
unlockable

egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities

end
nonplayable

romans_senate
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
numidia
scythia
spain
thrace
slave

end

Change it to look like this:

; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor

campaign imperial_campaign
playable

romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
numidia
scythia
spain
thrace
slave

end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
romans_senate
end

However, the interface in the campaign selection screen is only made to display 20 factions, so the rebel/slaves are not shown there even if you unlock them as above. If you want to play them you have to move one of the other factions to unlockable or nonplayable. I put the senate in nonplayable.

Why, Lady Rosa, that does look oh so familiar. You must have it copied somewhere so you can paste it again and again. =P

thanks SubRosa, I think I'll go with your method, do u think I could copy and paste it and still have it work? And is The Rtw Gold version have 1.5 with it? Also do I need to copy this to-- ; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor? I can't really go on though to see because I got punished from my computer( I'm on the house computer right now)

You need to add more stuff to stop the game crashing when you select them, so it would be easier just to install a mod.

Argg this is soo annoying.

I've seen about 10 of these different posts.

They should use the search button like everyone said

Quoted from Riskyman:

Yes, you can copy and paste that over the existing section in descr_strat.txt Just be careful that you do not copy over anything else in that file however, as there are a lot of other things below the factions. That is the only file you need to change. There is another one that has the faction descriptions, but you do not need to edit that to play the other factions. It will just say No Description in the description field when you select the faction to play.

Indeed I have a text file on my desktop with the answers to the questions that people ask all the time.

Also, anyone who wants to answer this, how do I create a backup file? Do I copy and paste everything and if I screw up, then I just delete everything and paste what I copied or something else?

To make a backup of a file simply open Windows Explorer and find the file. Click on it once to select it (do not double-click on it and open it). Then go to the menu bar, click on File, then from the box that drops down click on Copy. Click on File again, and then in the drop-down box click on Paste.

It will paste a copy of the file you selected in the same folder as the original, called "Copy of xxx". That is it.

When you edit your descr_strat.txt file just copy and paste of the same part of the file that I put up here. Leave the part that says:

start_date-270 summer
end_date14 summer

brigand_spawn_value 10
pirate_spawn_value 28

and everything after it alone.
