how to play as minor factions in grand campaign

do the major nations of etw limit you? have you always wanted to conquer the world as savoy? or maybe persia? or a big challenge pirates? well this guide will help you make it a reality!

*disclaimer* i did not make any of these mods all credit for the mods go to their creators

http://etw.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=5

(also has extra content but you dont have to use it)

installation for windows

when you download the file go to your data file (you'll find it where you installed ETW) and just place it in the file. thats it.(example)

EDIT: put the file in the campaign/main folder sorry for the issue

installation for mac

after you install the mod you go to your applications folder unzip it (mac unzips it automaticlly) and there is install inscrutions in the folder but one thing may be confusing.

(if you just want the minor factions and nothing else stop reading)

when you try to go to the prefrences folder the instrutions say to launch the game. but if you deactivated the launcher, you cant access it! ahhhh but you can! when you launch etw before it actually launches hold command. the launcher should appear then open the prefrences folder.

ALSO: everything about this mac guide in this vid by mod maker:

I followed your directions and I didn't get the minor factions or the Mughal Empire, what's wrong? I play on windows. I put it in the main folder, and that's it.

[Q]

you only need darthmod in order to play as any faction

This is my first time installing a mod and im not the best with files so im probably doing something wrong but i can get the mod to work. i simply downloaded it and placed it in the campaigns folder inside data in the games local files. Did i not do it correctly or is it something else? I play on windows

Spain is missing cause i deleted it (still testing)
Britain takeover-time is greatly reduced (works as intended)
France takeover-time is the standard line

[Toxtronic]

i think i have a fix for the protectorates but im still play testing
u can edit their annexation in the "scripting" - LUA file if u remove their not human turn range

local function OnFactionTurnStart(context)
]if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("britain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 2, 4, context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("france", context) and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("france", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("france", "louisiana", 6, 15, context)
end
end

that line is pretty much at the beginning of the script right after the if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) and conditions.FactionIsHuman("britain", context) then
where only the playerfaction is affected.

[Grå Gås]

[Chicken Jockey]

Is this mod dead? I tried all of the links to download it, and none of them worked.
