Just find the descr_strat.txt file in your Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder, open it with a text editor, and move all the unplayable factions to playable. You can do the same for the unlockable factions.

Posts: 5455 Oct 13 09 2:31 PM Tribune	Yep. There's no mechanism for you to give missions to other Roman factions, so the "senate" button causes the game to crash. But other than that, everything plays out as normal, like a non-Roman faction where there's no "senate" button to begin with.

Posts: 5455 Oct 21 09 3:57 PM Tribune	Welcome Mizzouman. First, did you backup the file before changing it? If so, and if you can't get the modding to work, you can revert to that and no harm done. I find it hard to grasp that you can't even start a battle, since that wouldn't be affected by the file you've changed. Are you sure you edited the right file? Can you post here the first 20 or so lines of that file? If there's any glaring mistake it should be obvious to a trained eye.
