Can I change something to make a permanent alliance like the Romans have?

[Cap'n Ahb Veeus]

If the Romans can have their permanent alliance, is there anything stopping me from modding it in so I can start the game with one as well? I'd like to start a Dacia game with Thrace or Macedon as a permanent ally.

Yes, its in the game files and I don't know how to implement it, but it's called something long the lines of Rome Super Faction. There can be only one I'm sure, so you'll have to get rid of the Roman Super Faction if you want it for someone else.

Bye bye Imperial Rome

As Punic Hoplite said, you will need to do something with superfactions.
To do this you will need to go to Rome - Total War/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign and copy descr_strat.txt. Then open the original.
Go down to where it says:

faction romans_julii
superfaction romans_senate
denari 5000

Delete this line:

superfaction romans_senate

Go down to each Roman faction and remove this line.
Then go to Dacia and put superfaction faction_name. You will have to choose a superfaction. This line must be above the denari line.
Then do this for every faction you want to be allied with.

Happy to help.

Don't you also have to change the core_attitudes on the bottom of the descr_strat.txt file?

Thanks! I really appreciate this.

Edit of my edit: Nevermind. It doesn't say I'm allied with Dacia and Thrace (now playing Scythia) but whenever I go to war with other nations they join me.

This is very interesting, do I necessarily need to replace the roman superfaction with another?

Since I've never done this, I can't tell.
