    Default Changing playable faction mid-game by editing save game. Hybrid Startpos? Something else?

    Greetings. I would like to know how I could switch from one faction to another, by editing the savegame.
    What I mean, is that back in the day, we could use ESFeditor to copy-paste the Campaign Model to a new ESF and thus create Hybrid Startpos. That would allow me to change the faction I was playing with. With the current tools, that's impossible.

    However, perhaps there's another simple-ish way to change from one faction to another in the middle of the game. I.e. switch from say the Shimazu to Takeda in turn 150 or something and fight against the faction you have built up so far.


    Is it possible to do that by changing the CAMPAIGN_PLAYER_SETUP in the FACTION_ARRAY or something?

    "Angry Uncle Gordon" describes me well.
