I dont know for sure about gold were it installed already patched, it is posible some files needed for this to work just are not there. I am currently working on this.
--Folder: *Exact folder may be different UPTO "Rome - Toatal War" --File: This line may appear Quote: FIRST_TIME_PLAY:TRUE make sure it's this Quote: FIRST_TIME_PLAY:FALSE --Folder: --File: In default file there will be factions under "unlockable" it should look like this Quote: campaignimperial_campaign the faction names are indented using TAB --Folder: --File: Add this: Quote: IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_TITLE --Folder: --File: Add this: Quote: {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_TITLE}Armenia {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_DACIA_TITLE}Dacia {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_NUMIDIA_TITLE}Numidia {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SCYTHIA_TITLE}Scythia {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SPAIN_TITLE}Spain {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_THRACE_TITLE}Thrace I don't know if this makes a difference but I put this right after brittania's description so it would look like Quote: moat of the sea from invasion, they can gaze out towards the mainland, and plan their conquests... {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_TITLE}Armenia This Dose work, qutoed sections are from my own files and dose not include SPQR or Slave factions because. Hope that helps [This message has been edited by CavalryCmdr (edited 09-03-2006 @ 02:31 AM).]
Make sure your in the correct folder because some the these files are in mutiple places for different reasons leave those alone. everything after "rome - total war" will be IDENTICAL to that posted some of these files are duplicated elseware so make sure you have the right one!
Back up ALL files before editing as a space comma period or anything else in the wrong spot will often cause CTD and it's so picky finding them can be nearly imposible it's easier to just put the oringinal back in and try again.
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\preferences
but all after that will be EXACTLY the same*
preferences.txt
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
descr_strat.txt
and "nonplayable" Just cut and paste those names under "playable" Make SURE all faction names line up, none are repeted and there are no spaces between lines until

1. I have 0 intrest in playing the senate
2. I consider both those factions too touchy (ie CTD easily)
Please sticky this so new players dont keep asking over and over ...... well a few less anyway
Please try my M2TW campaign AI mod and give me some feedback.
