how to create a new faction/culture?

[npoe]

Well, I am trying to find one guide or tutorial in how to create a new faction/culture , not replace one with another one, may be someone can tell where I can find such a guide, thank for your help :sweatingb .

Rome Total War not BI.

It's impossible


Adding a new culture is possible in BI only, and you can add only one.

For adding a new faction, the only way you can do it is to edit the files of an already existing faction, essentially text files (but of course if you want a truly new faction units, banners etc...).

In text files you got entries like this

{macedonia} Macedonia

Don't edit the first part. All you can do is edit the second part, something like this:

{macedonia} Belgae

The game engine would keep macedonia for units, etc, but the player would see the name Belgae ingame in place of Macedonia.

Here a good tutorial for further explain:
