Both of them at the same time?

Probably because they are for version 1.2 - which version of RTW are you using?

Ok. The mod of Sibsz was made very long ago for a previous version of RTW. If you go to 'options' in the game you can normally see your version, presumably the latest.

Make sure you replaced your original files.

You can make one yourself. First take back-ups. Then go to.

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total
War\Data\World\Maps\Campaign\imperial_campaign

Open the 'descr_strat.txt' file.

Then list the factions you want to make 'playable' to the 'playable' part.

Example:

campaign		imperial_campaign
options bi
playable
	romans_julii
	romans_brutii
	romans_scipii
        parthia
	egypt
	seleucid
	carthage
        gauls
	germans
	britons
	greek_cities
	macedon
	pontus
	armenia
	dacia
	scythia
	spain
	thrace
	numidia
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
	slave
	romans_senate

If you're still unsure, then e-mail me your descr_strat.txt-file and I'll do it for you.

PS: And oh: welcome Prophed. :original:

Double post merged - please use the edit button in future.

Also with 1.5 make sure all factions have an entry in data\text\campaign_descriptions.txt. If they don't have an entry in there the game will crash if you try to play with some factions.

And moved to the mod owrkshop as this is a modding question.
