Along the line of PseRamses`s exploit I offer mine to those that my not know it.
To become a saint, join and abandon a crusade till you become a saint, its that easy!

I really don't see why you'd exploit.
The game's easy enough as it is - there's no need to destroy this aspect of it as well, imo :no:
Amen.Quote:

Somewhere, right now, a little polygonal pixelated man is crying and has no idea why. ~:mecry:Quote:

None of these things will the ai do so they are really pointless.
OK thats the high and mighty speech, I have to admit (embarrassment!) that occasionally I have been seduced by the "dark side" and tried one or two of these, knowing full well that they don't really have the power to change the big picture outcome.
How many of you have never been tempted?:skull:
I only use one cheat... that's not too bad, right?Quote:

(I open up the console at the beginning of the game, type victory, congratulate myself, and leave.)
I reguarlly use toggle_fow to find an enemy settelment if I havn't memorised that are of the map yet. I also like to check up on how others are doing somtimes and use it for that. but I think thats become nearlly standered for everyone these days so...Quote:

I can say in all honesty and without arrogance that I never cheat. It would weigh too heavily on me if I won anything by foul play and that includes this game.
Some of those things let you bypass major hassles. Droping a merchant into a fort and forgetting about him until he dies is major reduction is what I personally consider a silly bit of micromanaging.Quote:

Interesting thought! If He is, then He certainly got an interesting commander to watch in me. I wonder if He thinks the same things about the pope in our world that I do about the pope in the game...Quote:
