    Question Special Designation/Title Problem

    Hello all at Totalwar.org sorry to have to ask this question again if infact it is somewhere in a forum post. I'm running Rome Total War 1.3 and use the Rome Shell Console alot at times. Once issue I've run into is when the game designates or grants a special title to a characte rin the game, usually a Family Member or General. I think these titles are gained according to the traits the units gain in the game. Examples I seen are "the Builder" "the Protector" "the Fortunate" "the Killer" "the Just" etc etc. The problem I have is if the character happens to have 2 names like "Gauis Julius" or "Pravel of Sparta" the title/designation they are given OVERWRITES or covers up anything past the First name. I can right-click on them for more information but the new Altered name appears so if I never knew or forgot that characters second or second set of names I cannot use the rome shell console to modify their traits or ancillaries, it will simply say "character not found." Is there another special command or a specific place in the game that reveals the ACTUAL character name after hes been given a designation/title?

    2nd, Also I've noticed that the syntax of commands in rome shell console seem to not be consistent in certain cases. For example names that are listed for example "knucklehead of Halicarnassus" will in some cases be accepted by the rome shell console typed as it is above, and sometimes it will report "character not found" and requires it to be typed "Knucklehead of_Halicarnassus" and sometimes even more rare it will accept "Knucklehead_of_Halicarnassus", I don't understand what the reasoning ifs for the variation is cna someone please explain further on this. I hope I didn't cause more confusion the way I describe the issue.

    3rd, Does anyone know if a "RTWCheatUnlocker' has been released for version 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 etc etc? Is the version designed for 1.0 and 1.1 the only version of this unlocker program? Is there any major reason why someone wouldnot want to play RTW version 1.0 or 1.1 after it's been patched with the "RTWCheatUnlocker" program?
    If the unlocker truly unlocks all the cheats even the disabled ones and the player likes using the rome shell console as opossed to scripting would he/she be missing out on anything major not already contained in patch 1.1?

    Thanks everybody for your input with this stuff.

    Hi ET,
    I can't be much help I'm afraid, but if the console cheats are really important to you, you could always edit the trait effects to remove their epithets, so that there is nothing to replace the surname.

    Find the file called export_descr_character_traits.txt in your Rome - Total War\data\ directory. Make a backup copy of this file first in case anything goes wrong! Then use the search function in notepad to locate each line starting with "epithet", for example:

    Epithet Heroic_Attacker_epithet_desc

    and delete each of those lines. That should stop the epithets being assigned.
