give_money does not work

[julianus apostata]

Hello,

why does the console command:

give_money gauls, 10000

not work for me?

I am already using the faction´s internal names

seleucid - Romani
greek_cities - Koinon Hellenon
thrace - Epeiros
macedon - Makedonia
numidia - Ptolemaioi
romans_julii - Arche Seleukeia
romans_brutii - Baktria
romans_scipii - Hayasdan
carthage - Pontos
pontus - Saka Rauka
armenia - Sauromatae
parthia - Pahlava
dacia - Getai
germans - Sweboz
scythia - Arverni
gauls - Aedui
britons - Casse
spain - Lusotannan

Could the force diplomacy mod be problem, that i have already installed? Are negative amounts also possible?

Thanks in advance for answering

First of all give_money isn't an actual code the game will recognise.

It should be add_money.

Second: negative amounts are possible; third and this where I am unsure: does the comma really belong there?

Check the proper syntax in-game by typing ?add_money first; then see if there's something different from what you've been doing.

Final question: how did you determine that the command didn't work? I assume you got an error message - something like "Command not recognised" ?

It's add_money x, not give_money. That's the problem.

Edit: Gah, too late. But at least I can say that the comma belongs there. If you want to give money to another faction you have to add the faction's name after add_money and end it with a comma. If you want to give money to yourself it's enough with just add_money x.

I use this command alot to give money to the Seleucids to help them against, well everyone in their neck of the woods...especially the Ptolemies:

add_money romans_julii, 40000

You can make the money 60000, 90000, 1000000000, etc...but 40000 mnai is the most that is recognized each time you use the command

WOW,

Thanks for enlightment

Also, using add_money "Gauls" 40000 appears to work, at least for me.

You sure it's not you that's getting the money?

Another option if the "add_money" cheat does not work to give money to enemies is use force diplomacy and force them to accept your money.
It is what I used to do when I didn't know the "real script name" of the factions.
