How to see the enemy? - perfect spy/MP campaign?

**econ21** · 03-15-2007, 11:07

I want to see some of the details of enemy factions in a game I'm playing. I know about toggling fow off. Is there more you can do to get a good look at them?

I've heard of "perfect spy" mode in RTW (in the context of EB 0.81); is that just fow toggled off or is it more? If it is more, how do you implement it?

Also, has anyone done a MP script that allows you to take a savegame and switch to play another faction? I did that in RTW with Myrddraal's MP campaign script.

[The reason for this request is to not to cheat per se, but to get information I need to write a story for a PBM.]

Hmmm you mean see their treasury, profits, family tree etc? No idea how to.

If you just want to see all their units and general's stats in 1 turn, you can use character_reset on a spy and just look at everything.

No, Factionheir I really just want to see the assassin who killed Sigismund! Although for the story, it would be fun to see the vices and virtues of the assassin, his king and any nearby generals.

Then do as I said. Move a spy, in this case Sifridus and each time he expends his movement points, use "character_reset" to restore his movement and keep moving him around till you find the assassin. It helps to increase his subterfuge first using "give_trait" for NaturalSpySkill 3, GoodSpy 4, GoodConspirator 3.

Make sure you know the approximate location of Sigismund's death

Alternatively you can also use any normal character to find the assassin as moving over him or bumping into him reveals him too. Just for his traits etc you gotta use a spy

Isn't there a cheat called "control"? I remember faintly that you can enter "control rebels" into the shell. I always wanted to test if it works to enter say "control HRE" or sth. Don't take my word for it, I've nothing to back this up but my poor memory. This would enable you to switch between factions on the campmap like in MTW1.
