Need Help With Cheats

Okay, so I decided to start a game where I would give myself a little money to start me off, and also turn FOW off so I could have a look around. On that I started out making some quite good armies then I went broke, this was expected as then I would put the cheats in. However when I tried to press ~ the console doesnt come up. Why is this?

By the way, as I wanted Pavatium I had to declare war on Gaul, I thought with money they wouldnt be too much of a problem however they sent a relief force to Pavatium bigger than my own, so I withdrew without fighting to salavage my armies. Problem now is of course I'm at war with Gaul and if they attack my I will not have too much of a chance. I really need the cheats.

sorry m8
i never cheat in tw series

Yeah well just thought it might be interesting.

Is there a way to alter the start money via the actual files? This way I'd have all the money I want at the start and cheatintg wouldn't be neccessary.

BLASPHEMER! Thou shalt not spake the words 'cheats' in thy forum! Death by Monkeys!

Go to those silly sods at twcenter.net and ask them.:san_angry:

Go to your RTW folder then open data/world/maps/campaigns/imperial campaign and the open descr_strat and change your starting money there
