Suggestions for a good faction list

[Incendio]

I am trying to make my own mod merging unit packs posted here in Total War Center based in 18th century. Since I am using "32_factions in custom battles", which factions would you suggest? I am thinking about up to 30 factions. Thanks.

PS. If someone know how to make any faction playable in campaigns I would appreciate if you let me know.

If you're talking about making any faction playable by adding a mod, most hosted mods unlock factions and make changes to game-play. If you prefer the vanilla game-play, you could use Empire Total Factions or All Factions Unlocked.

If you mean by making any faction playable by creating a mod yourself, the best starting point I know of is husserlTW's advice which is linked from this post.

Anyone can marge unit packs for your own use if you want to. However, I believe that Empire has a maximum number of units which can be recruited from a region and, if this is exceeded, the unit recrruitment panel for that region will go blank. Also, if you want to release on TWC a mod which you made by merging other people's mods, you'll need the permission of the modders who created the unit packs (and to give them credit).

Hi Alwyn,

I will use the mod privately, I am merging unit packs and I probably add some marches and loading screens. However, the size of the unit file is being monstruous: around 5 gb, I don't know how to mod so I am only merging units through Pack File Manager from a fair amount of unit packs. However, some unit packs don't work properly and when specific units are selected the game crashes. I am "cleaning" those units through "units to exclusive faction permissions" to avoid crashes, however, the pack is notoriously unoptimized because I don't have enough skills to remove units in a pack file.

For factions I am using the mod 32 factions in custom battles. I don't know if this mod can do the same with campaign factions.
