How do I? - quick question about cheats

**artaxerxes** · 03-14-2011, 19:49

Hi. I just wondered, how do I 1) add money to the SPQR and 2) remove money from the Lusotannan? I'm quite poor myself, so want to do it with cheats rather than FD. I guess it's something like add_money xxx, but what are their faction names when using cheats?

Btw, the motive is of course to strenghten SPQR and weaken Lusotannan, so that when I go west, I'll face a so-or-so historic Roman Empire rather than a completely ahistorical Lusotannan megapower. I'm too bored to start moving troops around, so just want to give the Romans a ton of cash and ruin the Lusotannan.

Thanks for any replies :)

add_money spain, -30000
add_money seleucids, 30000

It can take a long time for funds to have an impact, then it's really hard to undo their impact.

1/
type in the console:
add_money "seleucids" 20000

2/
add_money "spain" -20000

3/ google europa barbarorum factions internal names should yield some positive results; or open the export_descr_buildings and scroll down till you reach the temples, there's a short summary of factions/temples names and internal faction names in there.

okay. Thanks a lot, was exactly what I was looking for. I don't mind if the effects are hard to undo. I'm seleucid myself, so whether Lusotannan survives doesn't matter to me. On the other hand, I long for once to have a truly overwhelming (like sort of real history) Roman Empire to deal with. usually, I unite the entirety of Alexanders dominions, before the Romans even get to fight their way into the Balkans. And then the challenge of being a new Antiochus III are kind of gone :)

You should probably add troops to their settlements/stacks while you're at it with adding money, or they'll recruit crap. By adding the money you prevent the troops you generate bankrupting them (which can cause a faction to freeze).

create_unit Rhegion "roman infantry hastati early" 1 0 1 1
create_unit "Cnaevs Romanvs" "roman skirmisher leves" 1 0 1 1

And so on.

I tried to manipulate AI factions by giving them 1.000.000 mnai.
(Not on console, via diplomats)
What they did?
They sat, womanized, boozed...
But no expansion.....
No idea on M2TW but RTW AI just hires mercenaries with money other than it. money script is useless to manipulate them. Just leave the mercenary pools to them that may make them more agressive and of course not against A.S.

Well, no wonder! Putting myself at their place, if somebody would give me 1 000 000, I'd also sit and get all the pu... erm, women while sending others fight for me, instead of getting myself killed on the frontline :))
