You type the name of the settlement/character that you want them to join between create_unit and the unit name

so create_unit "Roma" "unit name"

correct unit name found in the edu as Everyone said.

If you still need some more help give me the name of the unit you want to make and where you want it and I will give you an exact example.

I would also recommend move_character cheat.

I believe it's move_character "character name" X Y

You can get the character's internal name from the descr_names.txt file if it isn't obvious from the display.

To get the X Y coordinates, bring up the shell, place your cursor over the area and type in show_cursorstat.

A little more on create character you also have to add in the number of units, the experience level armour level, weapon level (I think, been awhile).

So create_unit "settlement/character name" "unit name" 4 0 0 0

Where 4 is the number of units, and the three 0's represent the armour, weapon and experience levels.

To take screenshots, easiest way is to hit print screen while playing. The pics go to your tga folder in main RTW directory (I think, haven't played EB in awhile). They are in .tga format. Use Irfanview to batch convert to .jpeg and upload them to imageshack or photobucket or whatever pic site works for you.

With regard to force diplomacy, could someone please give me a rundown of how to do this exactly?

Thanks

You press tilde (~) and type stuff in. Then press enter.

I meant in terms of what to type in etc. Currently all I know about is toggle_fow

If someone can give me the EDU names of these, that would be great:
Hoplitai (Greek Classical Hoplites)
Pezhetairoi
Argyraspides (Hellenic Elite Phalanx)
Hippeis Thessalikoi (Thessalian Heavy Cavalry)
Lonchophoroi Hippeis (Hellenic Medium Cavalry)
Hypaspistai
Peltastai Makedonikoi (Hellenistic Elite Infantry)
Hetairoi (Companion Cavalry)
Agrianikoi Pelekephoroi (Agrianian Assault Infantry)

As well as their AS equivalents...

miotas, use one of these and Roma as an example.

You need to check you the force diplomacy thread in the unoficial mods sub forum. here

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Alrighty, you need to go the EDU which is located at Rome - Total War\EB\Data\export_descr_unit.txt

It is best if you open it in notepad++ or another similar program as it will make things much easier.

Then you need to open the find window ctrl+f and type in the in-game name of he unit.

Say I search for pezhetairoi I come up with a line that looks like:

dictionary hellenistic_infantry_heavy_pezhetairoi ; Pezhetairoi

hellenistic_infantry_heavy_pezhetairoi being the internal name and what comes after the ; being the in-game name

so for the cheat I type the next line:

create_unit Roma "hellenistic infantry heavy pezhetairoi"

the numbers can be added for extra numbers(5 max), chevrons, sword, and armour(9 max for each)

There are many variations of similar units in the EDU so providing names for all those is a little tricky but you should have no problem searching for them yourself now.

Hope I helped
