Which ancillaries exclude which can be found in the aforementioned file. Note that the first unit in the list is the bodyguard of the general. Ranges from 0 no experience to 9 three golden chevrons. Higher values can normally be achieved by building blacksmiths or temples to weapon gods. This is what an entry for a non-controllable character looks like. It is used for males aged under 16 and for all female characters. There are only two valid values: male and female.

It is best to leave all values at 0, otherwise it might cause problems. For males this should not be higher than 16, otherwise they would be present on the map at the start of the game. Making it higher than 16 will cause a crash. It is necessary to have set all properties in the character entry. This is done in two ways. First, the core relationship sets the general relationships between two factions. For example, seleucid, parthia means exactly the same as parthia, Seleucid.

You can put as many factions here as you like if you separate them by a comma. Note, that you have to set this relationship in two directions: from faction 1 to faction 2 and vice versa. If you set this value to anything lower than , these two factions start out with trade rights, an alliance and military access.

Another thing to note here is that it is not required to declare relations between all factions. Princeps - Strong, plated warriors. They throw spears before they charge and can take a beating. Triarii - Spearmen. Good against cavalry. A must for any roman wishing to conquer. Roman Archers - A vital part of any army. They are lightly armored but with experience and good quality weaponry, they can be a devastating force to unwitting infantry.

Just keep them safe from Cavalry. Each army can only hold 20 units including your General so be mindful to count them before you start your game. A good recommended setup is: 1 General 4 Units of Cavalry 5 Units of Princeps 5 Units of Triarii 5 Units of Archers Bearing in mind your army will be strong using this setup, they will be almost invincible when using what I am about to show you. Enums just basically determine the level each of the specified advantage gainers.

The maximum level for the "exp" part is 9. Exp meaning experience, that referring to battle experience! To save you all of the hassle, here is the code for a great army and the screenshot showing you where to put it. NOTE please leave a space after each army at the bottom so that the next character section is not counted as part of that army. Otherwise, your game will crash! Okay primarily we have two grids, that are very easy to understand.

The first one lists characters you cannot use yet, either due to their age or due to the fact that they are female. And yes guys, you can't send women into battle SIGH. If in game, the character hits 16, they will become playable.

So make sure if you're editing their ages, keep them as 15 or below. The outcome is very unpredictable. Even if there are posts on forums saying, "change it to this this and this and you will become UUBER! My friend did it and now he is completely unable to play RTW. So please don't. You will also notice on the bottom a second grid. It is probably wise you won't change this, or it may crash the game. But first, here is an unmodded screenshot. Firstly, add a new character by copying and pasting the bottom character, Vibius Julius.

I recommend you use some thing like "Aulus" or "Gaius". This will position him just near where-ever the hell your diplomat is, Sextus Antio. Next, we need to put him in the family tree and give him a wife. The first thing you'd type is about the character to add traits.

Many people don't know how to do this with the roman factions, since the character names have more than one word. The console operates in specifics, so you just need to enter into a speech mark field the name, and it works!!

It works with all characters that are playable. Any screenshots you can link of fun ways to crush your enemies are welcome all up in the comments section you evil blighters! CaesarVincens Legionary. If you just want to make every faction playable, highlight all of them, cut and paste in the playable section. Same goes for Rome: Total War. Scroll down to the factions section.

To avoid this click with your mouse someplace after this. Let's take the Gauls in RTW as an example. Once you have scrolled down you should see this:. After it there is a list of every settlement the Gauls has, but just ignore it. Anyway, simple change the number after denari, and when loading up the game the Gauls will have more or less money than in vanilla , depending on what you set it to!
