unlocking all factions

[shadyrome]

Just wanted to know how do you unlock all faction without complete it,by using text. thanks

Go into your M2TW folder, then data, then world, then maps, then campaign and navigate to the grand campaign folder. In there, open the file called descr_strat.txt.

The first entry should look similar to this

; Hand made campaign script
; Made in USSR

campaign imperial_campaign
options bi
playable
romans_julii
romans_scipii
romans_brutii
parthia
egypt
seleucid
carthage
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
scythia
spain
thrace
numidia

end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
slave
end

Basically you need to change it to look like that, so that all the factions except slave are in the playable section. This is the RTW version so different factions obviously. That should work.

Its the same as in RTw but in the SEGA folder.

Personally, I'm planning to play as one of the 5 starting factions and unlock factions through conquest. I think it will be more satisfying and give a sense of more achievement that just modding the text files from the kick-off.

Can't you just add this in the preference CFG file?

[misc]

unlock_campaign = true

Read it in a devblog or something like that...

I've not heard that, but it sounds like that will probably work. Give that a try first I'd say.

And I agree Germanicus.

[Spurius]

Yep that last one works fine. Unlocks all *playable* factions, which is not the same as ALL, though.

Totally agreed

geez its nice to see somebody who is't a wussy cheater for once. Apprantly we are the only two that are good enough to finish a campaign.

EDIT: and Appius

I think it is people who want to play as a interesting faction, rather than rome, in rtw, or a super power in m2tw. I imagine he will play as a small and harder faction, rather one of the super powers.

Wussy cheater?

Excuse me if I don't want to play a catholic faction like 90% of the playerbase...

We get it ProudNerd, you hate modding and everything to do with it, you don't need to spread it in every thread. It's our copy of the game and we'll do what we like with it, if it bothers you that's your fault bub.

Scotts don't have such units like England mean dismounted Eng knights.PS. if someone is starting on his favor. faction is allright I've started HRE which why I didn't mod anything.I wouldn't play Scotts on vh now later when you got all game'mechanics

[Soulghast]

What are the 5 starting factions?

[Miraj]

England, France, HRE, Spain and Venice

[Valiant.x]

I'm raging. I spent all day doing nothing and then I find out the game was released a day early!!!!

I'll only be unlocking Scotland and playing it on medium/hard to get the hang of this

my file was an uneditable read-me only file

what i did was edit as necassary, seve it as ''descr_0Strat.txt'' (as opposed to descr_strat.txt) then delete the old file (descr_strat.txt) and rename Descr_0strat.txt to descr_strat.txt
