Thread: Cheating with Roman character names?

    Default Cheating with Roman character names?

    This is me reposting a previous thread that I started. I figured the original title wasn't specific/sexy enough, so I decided to sex it up a bit. Don't worry! It's safe for children. And I deleted my previous thread.

    Heya. Sorry to bother. I've been trying to play around with the console cheats but I'm having a hard time with Roman character names. I found a thread on the board where Raiuga had the same problem, but he figured it out without sharing how he figured it out.

    Let's say I wanted to add a unit of accensi to the stack of Pvblivs Clavdivs Marcellvs. I would imagine that typing the cheat would go something like this:

    create_unit "Pvblivs Clavdivs Marcellvs" "roman missile accensi" 1

    However, that results in a message saying the character's name is not recognized. I remember a similar issue in vanilla RTW, so I thought it might have something to do with spaces and underscores. I tried:
    Pvblivs_Clavdivs_Marcellvs
    Pvblivs Clavdivs_Marcellvs
    Pvblivs_Clavdivs Marcellvs
    Pvblivs Marcellvs
    Pvblivs_Marcellvs
    Pvblivs Clavdivs
    Pvblivs_Clavdivs
    Clavdivs Marcellvs
    Clavdivs_Marcellvs

    I had no luck. So I tried something similar. I had a stack without a general led by Captain Manivs. So I tried the same code:

    create_unit "Captain Manivs" "roman missile accensi" 1

    Still no luck. I tried the same thing with an admiral (and a ship, not accensi, silly) and no luck there. What is the proper way to type a Roman character's name?

    I think it'll have to be Pvblivsclavdivs Marcellvs, but don't take my word on that.

    EDIT: I preffer creating my units in settlements, it's easier.

    Thank you for your response. I just learned that the forums have a search feature.

    For anyone who has the same question as me, the answer can be found here:

    Thread closed.

    Next time, ask me to change the thread title instead of double-posting.
