Everyone who makes a modification for a specific faction will want that faction to appear right at the top of the list in the faction selection screens. After all, you do want people to use the faction and see your changes in action, right?

Impossible? No. It is possible, and on top of that it is extremely easy to do. All you need to change is one single text file. I'll now explain this little bit of editing required to put your favorite faction where it should be: above all others. Here we go.

The file we'll need to change is called descr_sm_factions.txt and you can find it in RTW\data. Before you start editing you should make a backup of it. That way, if something goes wrong (which shouldn't happen) you'll always have the original file to fall back on.

Now open the file. Inside you'll see all factions and relevant information about them, such as which movies and colours to use. Now find the entry of th faction you want to place at the top of the list. Select the entire entry and cut it out (Ctrl + X). Go to the top of the file. Add an enter before the first entry and paste (Ctrl + V) the part you just cut out in there.

That's it. If you start up your game, you'll see that the order of the list has changed, and the faction you chose is now at the top.



Happy modding and may the Gods of Wargaming smile upon your efforts!
