Unlocking The Slavs Faction as Playable - Barbarian Invasion [Game Guides]

Today I focus on The Slavs - an elusive, almost mythical faction in Barbarian invasion. With a little bit of editing, you can make this endgame horde faction playable and role-play the glory of the Slavic peoples.

    Hey so I don’t think the methods for any of the unlocking factions videos for Barbarian invasion work anymore as I tried the Slav, Romano, and Ostro ones and now when I click on a faction (any faction) it just takes me to the Home Screen so something is a little broken/glitched.

    It seems to be an in joke from the devs. I get the impression it represents the mindset of the faction. For example, On Medieval II Teutons expansion, Norway are classed as a turtle because they are not aggressive so to allow the Kalmar Union trigger to be more likely.

    Nobody: Slavs at Barbariam Invasion: Hello we are half vandal half german half huns and half celts. You know they should have names like Mstivoy, Mieshko, Ivan, Vladimir and temples of Svarog, Perun and Mokosh. I have to watch Atilla TW, cause I've heard they fkd some details up. I am intrested in archaeology and ethnology, so thats why I am so upset.

    Some factions are certainly more accurate than others. I'm pretty sure Ivan is in there but otherwise those names are strangely absent. As for the Gods, I suppose they have to pick 3 to represent the pantheon of Slavic gods... Svarog is in the game but then they went for Matka and Dzarowit as the other two. I suppose some always have to miss out. I haven't played much Atilla myself, but I can only assume they fleshed it more out that time around. They tend to veer closer to history in their historical titles nowerdays.

    As for the the problem, the problem you describe is typically a small issue in the coding, but as you say it does stop any new campaign from running. Chances are that it is simply a missing line or space somewhere in the coding - it is very fiddly with small details like that. It's hard to know exactly without seeing the changes you made. Have a scan through, make sure your spacing at settlements, characters and coordinates is solid (they are common errors) and with luck you may find the small something that has gone wrong. Good Luck!
