easy way to unlock all factions

[Max_scipii]

alright people i am about to tell you how to unlock all the factions instead of downloading some dodgy megaupload file

step 1: go to C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign OR where ever your RTW folder is t

step 2: open the file named descr_events.txt

step 3: change all the desired or all the factions from unplayable to playable

i posted this because i looked around and couldn't find anything like this that didn't need a downlaod (not that downloading is dodgy) but some people dont like it

To be honest this is hardly news - players have been doing this since RTW was released about 5 years ago.

Thanks for posting - but, closed (it's not even asking for techical help)......

Edited: If you read the stickied thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62217 you would have saved yhourself time - simply ignore the bit about downloading a mod (as there is no need for that as you've already pointed out). In the past when people have had problems with a mod that does this there was a lot more that had been changed in that file than expected - it may be down to the different versions of RTW it may not......
