Descr_Strat

Hello all,

First of all i wanted to say thanks to mod developers for such a beautiful mod for which i continue playing M2TW after so many years.

As for second as you can see from the title of this thread I wanted to make some changes in Descr_start file (data>world>campaign>IMperialcampaign), to be more specific I want to add units (also exp) for rebel units in Kyrene, I am doing so to avoid early clash between ptolomeus and carthage, but when i am adding some units in descr_startfile and also changing exp from 0 to 6(for example) and i start new campaign nothing happens/changes, armies still have old units with zero exp and so on.

Please help (and sorry for any possible grammar mistakes that I might made in post above.)

cheers

thats whats it looks like right now

Have you deleted map.rwm after making the changes and allowed the game to generate a new one?

Why have you changed their subfaction? Those names will be invalid with f_carthage.

yes I have deleted map rwm but still no changes, i have changed it because i thought that subfaction causes which nation will try to get the settlement, so by that i wanted to avoid ptolomeians to get the city

It doesn't. The subfaction of the Rebels present has nothing whatsoever to do with the faction's CAI which decides where it wants to expand.

All you're doing is causing the Rebel characters to display with no name, and thus have no traits, making it even easier for an AI faction to take the city.

Did you use Notepad++ or another proper editor to make the changes?

Ok thanks for that, I changed it back

A lot of RTW mods used the ai_do_not_attack_faction line in the descr_strat to prevent unhistorical wars. I don't know if this works in M2TW but it could be a foolproof solution to this problem.
