Can't help you with the script, though I can clarify to you the usage of console commands.

For create_unit, say you have character Antigonos Argeades and you want to give him 4 units of Toxotai. What you have to input is the following: create_unit "Antigonos Argeades" "greek missile toxotai" 4 0 0 0, where the zeroes represent the experience and upgrades of the unit.

For move_character (it's character, not unit), say you have Antigonos Argeades again somewhere (note, NEVER teleport characters from or to cities, as it causes bugs). First move your cursor over to the desired tile you want to move him and enter the following command: show_cursorstat. This will give you the coordinates for the selected tile, for example let's say it gives you 152,113 (those are actual coordinates, it's right on the port of Mytilene). If you wish to teleport Antigonos over to that place, you have to input another command: move_character "Antigonos Argeades" 152,113. Whoala!

Now notice a minor issue that can be quite confusing and result in you not getting the desired effect (meaning, the cheats not working). The " part has (the button is the second one to the right of the L button) has to be shirt-clicked. Double clicking it will give you a '', which is different than ".

Hope this helped,
