Barbarian Invasion: Playing as unplayable factions

[standupaddict]

Hey all, The other day I was trying to get all the factions playable in the campaign. I did all the text file switches so they could be available, however, when I try to play as... Roxloni or burgundi, the game crashes. The only two factions that are playable (that were previously not) are the celts and Berbers. The game crashes as soon as I try select them (obviously excluding the few you are supposed to play, Berbers and celts). Am I just doing something wrong or is this bug happens to everyone. Btw this is vanilla, I never patched BI or RTW, and I'm running on windows 7.

Heres a twc wiki link detailing whats what faction-wise by editing the strat file and more detailed modding etc...all that complex stuff goes over my head sadly

http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Factions_in_BI It also says somewhere that the game won't start if you select an emergent faction at commencement.

Emergent factions can't be played as without a lot of modding.

But Roxolani and Burgundii, they should work.

Post the faction playable part of your descr_strat.txt in [CODE][/CODE] tags.

Coincidentally, I couldn't play as the Roxolani, Burgundii, or Lombardi for some silly reason when I edited this. I could play as the Celts and Berbers just fine though.

Suggestions: Put slave back into non-playable.

And PATCH YOUR GAME!!

Did the first, not so sure on the latter though.

EDIT: Well, you're right. Worked like a charm.

Happy to help.

[Mr. Magi]

My big regret is that the Lombards and Burgundii are so similar... I rather wish they had some diversity.
