How can I change the faction which I control of a savegame?

[8907654738]

Good afternoon,

I would like to know how can I change the faction which I play with of a savegame with ESF editor, because I want to make the Pirate faction stronger so I thought of changing the faction to the Pirate one and recruit, build ships and so on and after that return again to the faction which I used before. How can I do that in ESF editor? Thanks a lot in advance.

You can do that through HYBRID startpos, but it might not be as fast as you suppose...

I don't understand the "HYBRID startpos" technique, is it especially for changing factions mid-game?

I'm replying to the post again, so it remains visible in "Empire Total War Mod Workshop".

Hello. You should delete the CAMPAIGN_ENV from the "startpos.esf" file, save it with another name (for security) and then copy the CAMPAIGN_ENV from the ".empire_save" file.

This way your savegame will become a new campaign and you can choose another faction.
