I want to replace the English with the Saxons in the campaign

[mandead]

Hello there!

I was thinking about re-d/l MTW2 and trying my hand at modding it. I recall that the Saxons exist in the tutorial, so I was wondering about adding them to the campaign.

I did some searching and found this tutorial on adding a new faction.

So my goals would be:

- either replace the English with the Saxons and make Normandy rebel-held; OR (if possible) replace the English with the Saxons in England and with the Normans in Normandy, so both remain playable

- give the Saxons proper units, leaders and name lists

- update any text and campaign map images accordingly

- fix any major bugs that are relatively simple to fix in notepad

How simple is this to achieve? Can anyone provide any advice, or point me in the direction of any tutorials/threads that have already covered this?

Thank you!

This shouldn't be too difficult as the saxons and normans factions have already been set up in the data files. As such, I wouldn't even bother to overwrite anything for the england faction but instead just add the saxons and/or normans to the imperial_campaign map and optionally remove england from the map and make them unplayable.

You should check out Gigantus' updated version of the adding-a-faction guide.
