    Icon5 Cant start new campaign

    I just installed Kingdoms with the retrofit mod.
    I had edited my descr_strat.txt file to unlock factions as follows:
    _______________________________________________________
    ; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor
    campaign imperial_campaign
    playable
    england
    france
    hre
    spain
    venice
    sicily
    milan
    scotland
    byzantium
    russia
    moors
    turks
    egypt
    denmark
    portugal
    poland
    hungary
    end
    unlockable
    end
    nonplayable
    papal_states
    aztecs
    mongols
    timurids
    slave
    end
    _____________________________________________

    I started the game (using both the vanilla and retrofit Kindoms exe), choose Single player, Grand Campaign, then select a faction (e.g. Scotland), tweak the settings and hit start, which takes me back to the Main options screen (Single player, Grand Campaign, etc).
    It does NOT start the campaign and from this screen the Grand Campaign button is non functional.

    Any help in getting campaigns working again would be greatly appreciated!

    Only happens when you make an error in editing the desc_strat. A missing space, for example, or trying to play a country that's not supported.

    Since you can't preserve the formatting when copying to this forum, we can't even tell you if it's wrong, nor can we give you the right one.

    Many thanks for your reply.
    Is there any way to reinstall the original file without necessarily reinstalling the whole game?

    Next time, do the smart thing and back up the file

    Most definitely.
    I didn't realize it was so character/case sensitive.

    I went back and edited it back to original format by memory (I had only altered about 4 lines), and now its sorted.
