Certain Faction Starts with One City

[Deadmeat36]

I saw a thread a long time ago that told you how to make you start with one city (eg. Greek Cities with Sparta, Carthage with Carthage) and now I cant find it. If one of you could show me where the thread is I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello new person, welcome

I don't think I've seen thread you are talking about, but you just really need to know how to alter descr_strat.txt in the data/world/maps/campaign/campaign folder.

See if this helps:

You need to assign the factions unwanted settlements to other factions or slaves, by cutting and pasting whole settlement section into other factions section. You also have to make sure you change co-ordinates for armies that currently start in those cities, or they will still start off owning them. Right down co-ordinates ( x y figures ) of existing armies in the cities so you can add garrisons for other factions to them later. Find new co-ordinates for the armies you need to move by launching game before you make changes, opening rome-shell (normally `¬ key below Esc) hover mouse over co-ordinate you want and type:
show_cursorstat
in Rome shell - that will give you position.

Make back up of file before altering it - and make sure you use -show_err on your shortcut so you get error messages if it goes wrong. Try moving one city at a time initially.
