emergent factions playable?

[alhoon]

How can I make an emergent faction playable?
I want to start with just an army and no provinces.

I've tried this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

faction england, trader henry
ai_label catholic
dead_until_resurrected


monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
add_events
event emergent_faction england
date 0
region London_Province
date 0
end_add_events
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

But it didn't work.

I think (but I'm not certain) that the only way you can do that is to play in hotseat mode and switch to the emergent faction when they emerge.

if you want to start with an army and no settlements take out the family tree in descr_sm_factions, you won't be able to view your family tree but it should allow children to be born, marriages, heirs, ect.
