One thing regarding renaming factions.

[Dash]

How do you do it? I tried doing it, but just ended up crashing my game on the start up.

go to your expanded.txt in you text\ folder and just change the name outside the parenthesis. It'll be something like this

{ENGLAND}England

You change it to

{ENGLAND}Kingdom of England or whatever you want...

Delete the expanded.txt.strings.bin file and the game will generate a new one with your changes

Thanks... but now it seems that the two renamed factions (ERE and Ottomans) have no set victory conditions. The last time I changed the names in the desc_sm_factions file, the game began crashing at the start up.
