			'''-strat:campaign_name ''' (campaign_name is the name of a subfolder within data\world\maps\campaign). This skips all the menus and immediately starts a new campaign that you specified. This can be useful for repetitive testing of the campaign. By default, the faction is romans_julii, as it is the first playable faction. To start with another faction, simply put every factions except this one as unplayable in the descr_strat.txt.

			''' -enable_editor ''' enables the Historical Battle Editor. To use the Editor, start the game, go to Options, then Battle Editor.

			''' -multirun ''' enables multiple instances of RTW to be run. Exe can be mixed, ie you can run RTW and BI and Alex at the same time. Can be used for running multiples ai test at the same time.

			'''-na ''' disables sounds.

			'''-noalexander ''' forces the Alexander exe to use the mod as the main campaign.
