More playable factions.

[Mr Creativ3]

Hey guys!

I haven't been on the forums in a long time now and a lot has happened since! Our own forum and all!
Well anyways, I've been playing this mod since day 1 and one thing lately that has bothered me is the lack of playable factions. Sure, the war was all about the major powers but it becomes boring to play as the same countries over and over again.
I also know that there were only so many factions during WW1 and with the map we currently got, but could atleast an alternative startpos be made where the emergents and playable or something simmilar?

I know that this would take alot of extra work, and im sorry if this has already been discussed but as I said, I haven't been on the forum of quite some time

well you can play as all the factions. Just go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\napoleon total war\data\campaigns\ww1_main and copy the startpos file from the folder that has the faction you want to play and paste it in ww1_main.

There are alternative Startpos files in your data/campaigns/ww1_main folder. Each folder (named after the playable nations in their Startpos.esf) contains a Startpos file that you can replace the original one with (in which Great Britain, Austria and Germany are playable factions).

So, for instance, if you'd like to play as Sweden, you would go to the folder:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\napoleon total war\data\campaigns\ww1_main\Ottomans, Greece, Sweden, Portugal

And then copy the Startpos.esf file found there, and replace the original one found in the ww1_main folder with that.

Mitch, you keep working on tools, this might be one of those things that could require one.
Of course, there's always that alternate solution you told me about...

PS. Crossjon beat me to it.

Yes I know about those, but I was thinking more of an alternative startpos that made emergents playable. Ukraine or latvia for instance

I know this is in the readme, but we should put it on the download thread if the info isn't there already.

Well, idk about that, its Mitch's department, but why would you want to play as them anyways? The factions aren't even finished yet (beyond text changes).

Is this thread serious? I don't get whats happening.

[Mr Creativ3]

Neither am I to be honest, but If I was unclear in my first post: I was requesting an alternative startpos with more playable factions - emergents for example since I found that the ones that are already ingame was not enough.

Is it possible to just make more options when you select WW1 campaigns from the main menu, so instead of just the 4 main factions why not add Italy, Belgium, Ottomans, and Greece as choices too, instead of having to alter various files and what not...

as the name implies, its the developers forum, to which us simple mortals cannot access

They said they'lll add more factions in v2, and I hope they'll put them in the same startpos.

But only historical factions to be clear, not factions that emerged years after the start date .

[RO Citizen]

Yes sure! Only Serbia, Norway, Romania and Netherlands should be in.

[Shugo560]

wait is it adding factions in ww1 campaign to play as or replacing the old ones?

[RO Citizen]

Adding. All nations except Seriba are already in as emergents, so no problem
