Balancing the tide of war!

[Celtic_Punk]

the KH are unusually on their last legs. Sparta and Rhodes are all that remain and they only have 1 guy left inside. I wanna give em some money but i don't know the command.

[A Very Super Market]

Use force diplomacy and give money to them. Use.

add_money [amount]

To give money to yourself. The internal names are different, so you don't really want to mess around with that.

[Celtic_Punk]

they're greek_cities i'm trying to do it right now, but none of the internal names work!

[Vasiliyi]

I think its

add_money 40000 "greek_cities"

Try both with the " " and with out them.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

It should be:
add_money greek_cities, 40000
(the comma is necessary)

[Moosemanmoo]

Yeah commas kick ass!

[Celtic_Punk]

how did you all know i was trying to add 40 000?

[penguinking]

how did you all know i was trying to add 40 000?

It's the maximum amount that can be given at once.

I used this command to try and give Baktria or pontus or pretty much any shitty little country a chance (even makedonia) who always dies in my games. I checked through the EB files and got all the correct internal faction names written down BUT...... i can add anything from a few thousand up to hundreds of thousands in one turn but if I check the 'faction rankings' graph it will show them as having no money. There is no spike, even if I check back several turns later.

And the faction with al this supposed money does nothing at all and dies same as normal. Does this actually work in game? Can anyone confirm?

Well, given that the "money script" that keeps the AI factions' economy (more or less) afloat relies on that console command...

True, and when I have edited the script to give baktria 40000 x3times every turn in the script it showed up on the chart as a MASSIVE spike. They had something like 49 million before they were killed off in about year 255. But if I do it manually by hand every turn through the console nothing will come up on that chart.

So still don't know where these millions are going...

[teh1337tim]

wow non of you like micro managing your campaigns ? I made carthage a beast, seleukd a gray death, ptolemaio a yellow plague, baktria an indian spice, pahlava an backthought (beaten to hell by sauromate, seleukid, baktria. Pontus and hayasdan are holding their own while the black death (oh yes BLACK, macedonian!!!!!!) have conquered all of greece and allies with epeiros who conquered all the way to my roman borders and are attacking mediolanum.... fighting a 4 front war (northeast italy, sicily, iberia, massalia) is sure interseting :D

anyways how i did that was basically gave money to myself and bribed as much diplomats as possible and sent them to the nation i want them to be at (i have a diplomat at every nations capital) and every now and then ill cheat money for myself and give them to the nation that need them the most, and or buy cities from the nations that took it from the other said country and give it back along with money. Any leftovers ill take away via -$$ cheat. This way... im fighting a huge war and i like those balanced armies!!! :D

[Celtic_Punk]

too many cheats. I just wanna give them money to stop them from becoming inactive militarily

[Knight of Heaven]

then go with the diplomat and give then monney, as a gift!!! why the cheats i dont understand.

[Apázlinemjó]

On VH the AI is quite active, just give them few years.

true untill one monster dominates others.

I do not give via cheat instead I via diplomats thanks to silk road and my last adaptation (that I gave governors tax bonuses) I swim in money after my domination from India to Greek mainland.
