removing factions

[Legionary Jezza]

how can I get the Julii, Brutii and Scipii out of custom battle menu and the camapain.

Yes, I like to know this. How about disabling the senate as well?

In RTW, there is really no such thing as removal - only replacement.

Do you just want to merge all the romans into the senate?
Not sure about the campaign removal.

To remove the little blighters in custom battle, delete their ownership lines in export_descr_units.txt, then replace their icon in data/menu/symbols48 with a totally blank one. I have one here - I'll post it if you need me to.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I think it may be possible to remove the buttons altogether, but I've no idea how. I read somewhere that the FATW team did something along the lines of a menu reorganisation, though.

Umm, sorry JB, really easy way to remove them from custom battle screen: in descr_sm_factions change line

custom_battle_availability yes

for the faction you don't want to no

....don't worry it took me a while to spot that one too!

To get factions out of campaign you need to remove them completely from your descr_strat.txt file (in campaign folder) - or have them die on first go. To have them die on first go place their armies outside of cities and give any regions they owned to other factions or slave (cut and paste, descr_strat 'settlement' section).

If you remove faction completely from descr_strat make sure you also remove them as default faction in descr_regions.txt

OK, I don't have a very good knowledge of most of the RTW files.
