I'd like some assistance please :)

I'm doing a personal project that basically involves taking the Thera units and factions and putting them in the vanilla map for fun However, I've encountered a problem. I'm getting a message whenever I start up geomod that an unknown faction or culture was found in the edu and I suspect this is related to the uruk dominion but I'm not sure (they were based off the saxons I think...) and I'm lost as to how to fix it. All my searches have come back with no results so I'm not sure if anyone's ever encountered this before...
thanks in advance

Just delete any faction from the ownership line (and the eras lines) that does not appear in descr_sm_factions.txt.

Would I also be able to put any faction I like into descr_sm_factions?

Yes, up to a maximum of 31 factions, but its a boatload of work and not something to be done lightly.

From the last page of the manual: (not sure if it is already in the latest version)

Unknown faction or culture detected in the EDU at line xyz
Check the line for formatting errors, most common is a trailing comma

Well what I've done is lift prettymuch everything from Thera bar the World folder, so I assume most of the bits needed for new factions are already there?

[Gigantus]

Pretty much, except for the necessary entries in descr_strat.

[Julianus Flavius]

Ah so all I need to do is put the entries in descr_strat, give the faction some regions and characters and that's it?

You have to add them to win_conditions as well. You could simply run a search in the original world folder for one of the custom factions, that would show you where all the faction shows up - script is optional.
