Modding RTW a hair

juggerbot

Basically, all I want to do right now is give the Greeks the ability to build highways. In the file data/expor_descr_buildings I found the following:

levels roads paved_roads highways
{
roads requires factions { barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman, }
{
capability
{
road_level 0
}
construction 1
cost 400
settlement_min town
upgrades
{
paved_roads
}
}
paved_roads requires factions { carthaginian, egyptian, greek, roman, }
{
capability
{
road_level 1
}
construction 3
cost 1200
settlement_min large_town
upgrades
{
highways
}
}
highways requires factions { roman, }
{
capability
{
road_level 2
}
construction 4
cost 2400
settlement_min city
upgrades
{
}
}
}

To my caveman brain, I should just have to add "greek" in the "requires factions" line but the beginning of the file tells me that this file is generated and changing it might not really do anything. If it's really involved then screw it but is this the way to do it, or is there a similar simple way?

Presumably you mean rome total war.

Quickest way would be to back up the file, then change it and see if anything happens.
Else do a search for total war modding or somesuch.
