Hey everyone, first time post here, great site setup!
I'm a huge RTW fan from way-back-when. Switched to Mac a while back and couldn't play anymore. But now that Feral Interactive has released the game for Mac, I'm back.
Huge problem however. I can't Mod the game files. It seems they've inserted them into a diskimage that they have write protected against the people who buy the game.
Please tell me that there is someone out there who has overcome this issue. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't mod a game to my liking.

I got it from Feral also and I haven't been able to do anything either, not that I have any skills to deal with that sort of thing, it kind of sucks but from my view there is nothing to do, at least for now

Thanks Edwin for posting that message here! The video is really helpful, I'll make sure to do everything I can to pass that along to anyone else who needs it. It's simply much easier than my way.
Rinster, you should be able to edit the playable factions within the strat file. Simply change the code from this:
---------------------------
Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor
campaignimperial_campaign
playable
romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
end
unlockable
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
end
nonplayable
romans_senate
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
numidia
scythia
spain
thrace
slave
end
---------------------------
To include any faction that you'd like:
---------------------------
Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor
campaignimperial_campaign
playable
romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii
macedon
pontus
armenia
dacia
numidia
scythia
spain
thrace
egypt
seleucid
carthage
parthia
gauls
germans
britons
greek_cities
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
romans_senate
slave
end
---------------------------
I'm 99.9% sure that you can't actually play as the Senate or Slave as it causes a CTD if you try and do so.

Hey guys i just tried all that stuff to mod the game but when i made all the factions playable, except the senate and slaves, i then went into the game and clicked on imperial campaign and it said please choose an item from the list. So i just wanted to see if any of you were having this problem
