A quick and simple way of unlocking all the available factions in Empire: Total War
Empire: Total War is a turn-based strategy game that focuses on a variety factors which it uses and puts into gameplay.
The player has to choose from one of several factions and use exploration, economics, religion and military means to create and rule a global empire. War is carried throughout the entire world and battles are presented in real-time, at epic scales.
Armies are built to be complex and to behave like the real ones. Soldiers have a certain degree of moral, depending on their type they are best suited for certain fighting conditions and weak in others. Battles can be carried out on land and in water and a good strategy is always the key to victory.
By downloading and using this unofficial mod you can unlock all the factions that are available in the game. To do so, all you need is to copy the startpos.esf file that is provided in the archive into to the game's datacampaignsmain directory.
I didn't complain about any of this in any other Total War because you could easily make the other factions playable. But they knew very well how difficult it would be to mod new factions in without causing crashes/bugs yet they chose to put extra effort into making the minors unplayable. Just go into the submod section of the the Darthmod Empire thread and check out the great submods present that make all minors and all factions playable (all of the submods however don't include all of the emergent factions and no submod includes every present and emergent faction). Hope this helps you nlovertoom. For all those who want me to make the same mod for Napoleon Total War: I'm sorry, but I don't know how to mod Napoleon, it's a bit different system. I personally use the Great War mod for NTW because the Napoleonic wars can be made in my mod for ETW (more or less) if you take France and invade Egypt, Italy, Malta, Prussia and Russia.
Note: Since this is a fan-made product, make sure you create a backup of the original startpos.esf file before applying the patch.

Etw All Factions
It’s a mere few days since Empire: Total War was released and already the moders over on twcenter.net have worked out how to unlock all of the minor powers! Want to play Savoy? The Barbary states? American Indian nations? Now you can! It’s early days for the mod so there are some issues, but when I tried it there were no major problems. In particular, the Italian states seem quite full-featured in terms of intro text and goals, almost as if they were cut at the last minute.
Sadly, the pirates, while playable, and fairly unplayable, due to everyone being permanently at war with them and a stacking limit of six for units and ships. Hopefully they will iron that one out in due course as who doesn’t want to play a pirate nation!? I’m tempted to do a very piratey AAR for the Barbary coast state as I think it could be quite amusing.
