Historical battles, Non-Playable factions

[Shellshock1918]

Is there any way to edit the game's code so that one may play as the "Non-Playable" faction in historical battles?

Also, is there anyway to edit the code to allow for saved replays of historical battles?


Thanks.

Yes your able to play as the non - playable factions by going to(using Ascalon as an example)

Go to
Rome - Total War\data\world\maps\battle\custom\Battle_of_Asculum(it will show a file for every battle)

Then Click descr_battle

then cut and paste Seleucids so it should look like this

battle BATTLE_OF_ASCULUM
playable
romans_senate
seleucid
end
nonplayable

end

Note:The AI sometimes behaves weirdly in some battles if your playing as the non-playable side

Is there anyway to allow a replay video to be saved?

More than just "sometimes," in my experience. The battles are scripted to be historical. When you play as the "wrong" team, the other side generally doesn't do anything, making for a very easy win. Or maybe I'm just unlucky?
