:cry: Hello Everyone,

I just got this game and started playing it about a month ago. I think its amazing and by far the most historically accurate game compared to civs and those games. There is only one problem with the game and I was wondering if somehow I could mod it. I am not a computer genious and have never modded games so i need help. The problem is that in the egypt campaign and in te egypt area in general it is somewhat historically inaccurate. The ethnic groups are mixed up. The Egyptians, deltans and itchyopagi are all of the egyptian ethnic group. The only ones of the nubian ethnic group are the nubians and the kushites. The meshwesh and libyans were of trible descent. i was wondering if i could somehow choose the ethnic groups for all these civilizations instead of just one. Can i mod the game to start different ethnic groups in different places and if so how?????? :cry:

The ethnic group is set in a text file in the data directory. Look at the modding instructions for details of where to find files. Look for the data\maps\XCampaignNameX\sides.txt.

They are text files - you need to edit the values. Look at the existing layout as a guide.
