All factions mod

[Prester John]

First off apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I've just downloaded the Advanced all factions mod, installed it and everything. When I load up the game, I can see the Imperial Campaign screen and, sure enough, all of the factions are now there with descriptions etc. However when, having selected a faction, I press 'start campaign', it takes me back to the previous page instead!

Anyone experienced this before? How should I fix it?

I'm a little rusty but if that happens it means you installed it in the wrong directory.

That happened to me when I modified the descr_strat on vanilla 1.0 and then patched it to 1.3/1.5. I had to uninstall the game, not modify descr_strat, and patch it before modifiying it.

I don't quite know how to relate this to your predicament, but what you describe to be the problem is exactly what I experienced, so I figured I'd post it.

Just uninstall the mod, and probably a good idea to reinstall the game too. Then do it manually, its quite easy.


Then, go to program files(or wherever you instaled the game into), and go to the The Creative Assembly folder, then the RTW folder.. from there, go into data, then world, maps, campaigns, imperial campaign, then open the descr strat file.

then, cut and paste all the factions into the playable part. make sure you leave at least 1 out, cuz the limit is 20. dont worry, you can re-mod it later.

Thanks for the replies,

I think the best thing for me to do is uninstall the patch then reinstall the game. To start with I did modify the descr strat file - this worked fine for the playable factions but when I moved everything there and then clicked on the shield of one of the unplayable factions on the imperial campaign screen RTW stopped working. I'm guessing its because there's no description or map for the unplayable factions - how do I get round that?

You need to give to those faction you enabled to play with campaign descriptions in C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text\campaign_descriptions.After you do that everything will be OK!

Thanks!

Problem solved, I can finally play as Armenia.
