so how does the create unit chetas work.

[scooter_the_shooter]

I am playing a mod right now and I want spartans..... the only problem is that it takes 30 turns to create one! And I would like to bolster my navy too....(it's terrible)



I went to 3 sites to get the cheat to make sure I had it right and it still won't work!


This is what it says.

create_unit settlement unit_ID amount expo/armour/weapon


I've been typing this.


create_unit Sparta Spartan Royal Guard 41 1 1 1


create_unit is the cheat obviously.

Sparta is the settlement.

Spartan Royal Guard is the unit

41 is the amount they usually come in.(I've got one unit of them)

1 expo

1 armour

1 weapon



Where am I going wrong?


(I really don't know much about stats...and I got the game soon after it came out I need to figure out how high they go but now I will just put 1 in for each of them....if you haven't noticed already I don't play the game that much....



I only need to get it right once and I'll be happy. (if they take 30 turns to make then I probably only need one unit of em':

I have patch 1.5 and it disables the cheat limits and such. (well 1.3 does but I needed 1.5 for the mod)



I thought I looked this over pretty good but if a grammar error escaped I apologize

You'll need to find the unit name that the computer understands (called the dictionary name) for this unit.

Find the export_descr_units file in the Data folder (or your mod's Data folder), and then do a search for Spartan Royal Guard. Once you're there, find the entry that starts with the word "dictionary". It ought to be immediately under the found text.

Then, use this dictionary name (with the _ characters) and see if that does the trick.

Also, you don't need to input the number of soldiers in the unit. You're supposed to input the number of units to create. So, if you want 1 unit of Spartans, you only need to type in 1.

[Roy1991]

You forgot the quotation marks.

For example, to create 4 units of roman ballistas in Mediolanium, with 4 experience, gold weapons & armour, you have to type:

create_unit "Mediolanium" "roman ballista" 4 4 3 3

Then, use this dictionary name (with the _ characters) and see if that does the trick.

The cheat doesn't work if you use the dictionary name, you just have to use the unit type (the line right above the dictionary name)
