    Default Switching Faction Locations

    Hi I was wondering for sometime now if there were any mods that could make it possible to switch faction starting positions. Such as Russia Being in the UK, and England where austria is. If there is, could anyone perhaps tell me how to get such mod, I would really appreciate it, thanks!!!

    Why the hell do you want to do something like that???

    How could you switch the 12 russian regions with the 4 British ones?

    Because it seems fun to have factions starting in different locations! And just give Russia control of them while England is in charge of Russia's cities?

    We don't have the same definition of fun then. What's the purpose of that? AndI still don't understand what it means. If you give the English regions to Russia and the Russian regions to Britain, you actually change nothing.
    Except the name of the faction and the colour

    Nope guess we don't. Nono goodsir, thats no what I mean. I mean the Russian Faction starts in england. It has it's same troops and everything, the only difference would be just that your capital is now london and you own not crappy regions at the start. Then england would be in russia with it's same troops, but have a challenge of an economy at the start.

    Just edit the game to give the Russian units to Britain and English units to Russia then if you really want that.

    With PFM, create a mod (see tutorial for that)
    edit the unit_to_exclusive_faction table, and then the uniform and uniform_to faction_colour tables

    Then use esf editor to modify all the starting units.

    And edit all the preset armies for custom battles.
