Playing independant Greeks/Gauls/other unplayable

[Selukon]

Is there a way to make the inde gauls/greeks/etc playable in the imperial campaign? I tried putting them in playable on descr_strat, but that didn't work, maybe because I have vista.

It takes a fair bit of work to make those factions playable because they are set up to be controlled by the AI. Under Provincial Campaigns there are a bunch of Greek Cities campaigns, another Roman campaign, and two other Gallic campaigns.

I know they are in provincial campaigns, I was just hoping they were playable in imperial as well

[Pinkie Pie]

well ive played as them and thats all i had to do to be able to use them
oh, the indi gauls cant build ships so dont bother with them

[Selukon]

Really? My computer isn't letting me save the descr_strat changes

[Pinkie Pie]

save it to your desktop then move it manually to the folder
after doing that it will let you edit and save it directly to the xgm folder

Yay I did it! Thanks

Wow the inde greeks are not easy, especially since half of their units cant leave the cities

To fix the immobile generals, go into descr_strat.txt, go down to the romans_brutii section, and remove the Immobile trait from the generals that have it. If you want the ICGS to have recruitable ships, you'll need to go into export_descr_buildings.txt.

whats the difference between provincial campaign and the imperial campaign?
ive never seen provincial campaigns in vanilla rome.

Provincial campaigns in XGM are just variations on the Imperial Campaign; same map, but different starting conditions. It is possible to have entirely different maps. Vanilla RTW uses a map of Italy for the Prologue campaign, and would have used a map of Gaul for the planned Caesar in Gaul provincial campaign. Unfortunately the Caesar in Gaul campaign was cut before the initial release of the game.
