Is the console command "capture_settlement <settlement name>" working?

Many, perhaps most, of the console commands don't work from the Rome shell. Most of the rest work from scripts only, and several don't work at all.

I know capture_settlement is an example of a command that works in scripts but not from the Rome shell.

I was afraid of that. Any idea how to make a short script to use the command to switch ownership of a settlement?

I tried putting the command in the background script, just to test it. But like usual my scripting skill just isn't up to the task.

Hi,

yesterday I fought two battles against Getai (cost me 90min.), slaughtered 6000 of them, killed three familiy members, including their leader (only a millisecond from rescue), gained a heroic victory and captured Ak-Ink. And just when I was about to click "Exterminate", the game honoured my efforts with a CTD.

So please, I need all cheats I can get. I surely won't fight theese battles again.

autowin_defender to be typed in when the battlescreen occurs, right?

capture_settlement <Ak-Ink> doesn't work you said?

kill_character <Bob theChieftain>?

kill_unit <unit whatever>?

replenish_unit <unit whatever>?

Is it correct to write the names in <...>? How to know the internal name of the units to be killed?

You should not use the brackets. Quote marks are good though. If the man in question is called Carl Gustav Hamilton, your command would be kill_character "Carlgustav Hamilton". Yes, the middle name is appended with no space and in lower case.

BTW, I omitted Gilbert because RTW only has three names.

Thanks bovi. Does "autowin" kill all enemy units? If not, how to know what to type in kill_unit "..."?

[bovi]

No, auto_win guarantees a victory for the side in question, not portion of kills. If you play out the battle you'll likely get a better casualty rate.

Do you have any idea about how to determine a certain unit for console commands? Is it possible at all to kill a unit on the campaign map via console?
