His Carthage? I don't really know, I think just below Hard.

Tell me, how did you alter your .txt. And take in to fact that I know pretty much nothing of that code stuff. lol

go to C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat

you find there a list of factions, some under the name of playable, some unlockable and some unplayable. place all of them (except slave and Senate) underneath "playable".

If you have 1.3, you must give each faction a campaign description. that can be done at

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text\campaign_descriptions

This is what I've put there, you can copy it over there:

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_TITLE}SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANUS
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_DESCR}You are the senate and the people of Rome. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_TITLE}Armenians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ARMENIA_DESCR}You are the people of Armenia. You have good infantry, incredible cavalry, and an unfulfilled desire to rule the world. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_DACIA_TITLE}Dacians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_DACIA_DESCR}You are the people of Dacia, a Thracian tribe. You have decent infantry and archers, and siege units at your disposal. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_NUMIDIA_TITLE}Numidians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_NUMIDIA_DESCR}You are the people of Numidia, a desert tribe with light desert troops at its disposal. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SCYTHIA_TITLE}Scythians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SCYTHIA_DESCR}You are the people of Scythia, a nomadic tribe with strong cavalry at its disposal. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SPAIN_TITLE}Iberians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SPAIN_DESCR}You are the people of Spain, a barbarian tribe with both Carthaginian and barbarian units at its disposal. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_THRACE_TITLE}Thracians
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_THRACE_DESCR}You are the people of Thrace, a barbarian tribe with Greek and barbarian troops at its disposal. Good luck.

{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SLAVE_TITLE}Rebels
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SLAVE_DESCR}Wrong people!!! choose another faction icon!!!

Now you should be able to play all factions. Good luck, and remember: always backup any modded files!

Quoted from Josef von Damme:

That method only works on Pre-1.3 patched installs of RTW. Begining with patch 1.3/BI, you must do what Sjonnie posted in his campaign_descriptions, or the game will not work. It is not enough to move civs in descr_strat.txt like in patch 1.2 and before. You can use whatever text descriptions you would like to add... but you must have an entry for every civ that you attempt to play.

BTW, nice helpful post Sjonnie. About your sig, methinks your "Quod licet Iovi non licet boviwhat" is an old Roman proverb roughly translated to mean "What Jupiter (Iovi, the God or supreme power) is allowed is not allowed of the people (the 'cattle')."

I'd like to see a working online Campaign map but set to short campaigns and Lan Campaigns set on the full Campaign ( me and my RTW Noob friend really wish this was possible because we would just slaughter each other aimlessly. )
