    Default Which file contains unit ID names

    I can't find it in the directory.
    On a side note, how would I use the move_character cheat? I typed in the character's name by full name, first name, just last name, capitalized, not capitalized, no spaces tween names. No matter how I type the name, the result is name isn't recognized.
    Thanks for any replies.

    Not sure how unit IDs would help you move characters.

    In any case, typing the exact character name without any fancy foreign letters should do the trick. It would help if you would tell exactly what you are trying to do.

    Moving characters was a side issue from the original question. I've tried typing move_character Name(just as it is written in character window) then the coordinates. That hasn't worked for me. It's not just move_character. Other console commands that I would need to use the name for, I can't get it to recogonize the name I typed in.
    The unit Id's I would like for creating units. I've looked in the entire installation directory of Total War and haven't seen files for unit Id's, list of traits, ancillaries, etc. I've seen posts in forums about export_----.txt files, but I don't see those in my directory.

    move_character "Captain Kirk" 120 140 <- Captain Kirk
    move_character "Dietrich" 120 140 <- Dietrich the Chivalrous
    move_character "Affonso el_Valiente" 120 140 <- King Affonso (check wife's name for last name)

    For unit id, check export_descr_unit.

    Thanks for the replies. Where is export_descr_unit? I've looked in the entire install directory, and I can't find it.

    You need to unpack it.
