Cheating as Romans

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Not that you really need to cheat with the Romans (well anyone really), but here is a little trick you can use before civil war breaks out.

I'm playing as the Scipii. I've completely taken Sicily and I've taken Thapsus and Carthage is unders seige with some crappy units inside. Anyway, I want to build up troops to be able to stop the inevitable counter attack from the Carthaginians (which I've seen coming on boats from Spain).

Anyway, this is where you could get a bit tied up. I want to create units, but that will take away from my population and at this point I want my population to flourish so I can build structures that allow training of better troops. I've found the solution though! If you sit diplomats around the Brutii and Julii areas you can bribe any armies they create and the troops will join your army without losing population numbers. The best part is you can bribe them for less than the recruitment cost!

Well, I don't know if it will help you, but I decided I'd at least let you all know.

As far as I know, this exploit was fixed with the latest patch.

Cheating in a video game against a hopeless AI is a pointless exercise, and I'm sure everyone's stated this on the org countless of times already. Also, if you patch up, you'll find it's only possible to bribe until after the civil war, and even that at very high prices.

Huh. Oh well...

I never really played RTW Vanilla too long. I played lots of mods. With one mod however it screwed my RTW up so I had to uninstall and reinstall and now I'm playing RTW for basically the first time.

Sorry for repeat (and I know it's easy and don't have to cheat, but for those who it isn't).

Cheating takes away all the cheats in a game. The worst part is, that once you know the cheat your inclined to use it when your in risky situations (which takes out the challenge). And against a helpless opponent like the RTW ai....

The only cheat on TW is...the cheat to get male heirs
