Emergent Faction Questions

[Miscoozi]

So I've been trying to make the Japanese Expeditionary force (emergent faction) playable form campaign in the Sigh of the Empire mod. Ive successfully made them an option in the campaign menu, gave them a region, and a character. No crashes, but as soon as the game starts, my victory conditions weren't met thus i loose and must return to the main menu.

What am i missing? heres all i really edited in desrc_strat

No family, I'd say. Try changing him to a named character instead of a general.

I think there is a tutorial on making the Mongols playable. Or Aztecs maybe. That would help you.

[Miscoozi]

i think i used the tutorial you're talking about - but where can i find a named character or what is a 'named character'?

[Withwnar]

Then try a tutorial on how to add a new faction from scratch. That would surely explain everything you need to do.

Your faction needs a leader: your character must be a "named character" type (not "general") and the "leader" attribute. You probably need a family tree as well. And maybe a bunch of other things.

[Gigantus]

One simple 'named character' will do (replace general with named character) - the game will assign him as faction leader automatically unless another character has been set FL. No family tree required, just one settlement must be owned.
You are using a default faction, so you don't really need to add anything, but just in case, here is the tutorial and the one for the playable horde:
