How do I add units?

**jfun23** · 03-31-2008, 01:23

Specifically what I'm trying to do is add some siege engines to a stack (playing as Romani). It's early in my game yet, and I'm guessing siege engines won't be available for a while, but I'd like to get a little practice time in assaulting walled cities before the real thing hits. Do I still use the create_unit cheat? If so, where are the unit ID numbers, and how do I use them in the cheat (a specific example would help, if it's possible...I don't take instruction very well

). This is my first post here, so I'd also like to congratulate the mod team on a superlative job. It strikes me that "mod" isn't really the right word; this is really a new game entirely, and I'm in awe of anyone who could produce such a thing. Thanks!

The code is:
create_unit "<settlement or character>" "<internal unit name>" # experience weapon armor
...such as:
create_unit "Pella" "hellenistic heavy infantry pezhetairoi" 5 9 3 3
...would give five Pezhetairoi with max experience and upgrades.

I think seige units are something like "generic 1 talent". Check the EDU for the names of all the units.

Ah...I was using the unit #, not the name. Thanks much for the reply.

just profiting of this thread, how can i do to add money to faction X, for example i want to add money to Pahlava, im Roma. Also is there a way to create an enemy army in your country, id like to recreate a Hannibal army.
Any suggestion is much appreciated (please write it simple

).

To add money to Pahlav the code would be:
add_money parthia, 40000
It is impossible to use the in-game codes to create an army from scratch. Though you can add unit to an existing enemy army the same way you would add units to your own. You can also use the the "move_character" cheat to move preexisting enemy armies into your territory.
