MOD, unlock factions

[dannazgu]

Does anyone play any mod to unlock other factions or just use the ESf editor to allo them be playable? Is it worthy?

I use Empire Total Factions (ETF): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?350349-EMPIRE-TOTAL-FACTIONS-(Last-updated-17-08-2011)

ETF unlocks minor and emergent factions (emergent factions are factions which can appear during the game such as Quebec, the United States and Ireland.) It does not make many changes to vanilla game-play. (It does allow Fifth Rates to be built at any port, which is a bit odd. However, it gives smaller factions a chance to avoid losing our trade income because of a sea blockade.) I love using ETF, because I enjoy the challenge of playing as smaller factions and the variety of starting positions.

Another option for unlocking minor factions would be to just use the 'all minor factions unlocked' startpos: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?262048-All-Factions-Unlocked-No-FOW-Bug!-WORKING!-Downloadable-Now!&p=15094003&viewfull=1#post15094003. This allows you to play minor factions (such as Denmark, Venice and Georgia) but not emergent factions.

Not all factions which are unlocked are really playable, however. The Pirates can only recruit six sword units (you can play the Pirates using other mods such as Minor Factions Revenge or Pirates Uber Alles). Some factions have very limited unit rosters; you can expand their rosters using a mod such as the Additional Units Mod or the Minor and Emergent Factions Unit Pack, which you can find here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1520-Unit-Packs-and-Stats. Some specific faction packs are available, for example I had a lot of fun playing Venice after I added Pom's Italian States Mod in this campaign: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?660374-The-Lion-and-the-Eagle-(Venice-AAR).

Many of the larger, hosted mods such as Imperial Splendour, Imperial Destroyer, Empire Realism and DarthMod unlock extra factiions (usually minor factions). They also make changes to the game-play which you might or might not like. You can find them here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1071-Empire-Total-War-Hosted-Modifications. Good luck!

ALright, thanks...I love Total War series, but never played ETW until now, i got bit disappointed when saw how limited it was the factions (to play), i hope when they launch the MTW 3 and ETW 2 will become better (if they ever do the remake). I'm brazilian and felt dissapoint there was no brazilian land, but i guess makes sense the game goes for real until 1825, colonial brazil was in 1849.

You're welcome! If you would like to play as Brazil, then you could try the Sturm und Drang mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?403545-STURM-UND-DRANG-2-RELEASED-Latest-update-25-04-2012. The creator of this mod was not able to expand the campaign map (that does not seem to be possible), so he created a Brazil faction in the region French Guiana.

Ok, thanks...I tried install some family tree mod but got some issues,

The fun choice of getting yelled at for starting a new thread on an old topic or getting yelled out for necroing an old thread.
