Is the console command "capture settlement" working?

[bovi]

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?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Console commands to kill characters do not work, they only work in scripts. Console commands to conquer settlements do not work, they only work in scripts. I know of no command to kill units. I think I saw "remove_unit" once, but I don't think I ever got it to work.

Your best chance is to go with "auto_win". Use "auto_win attacker" (you are attacking) if it is your turn and "auto_win defender" (you are defending) if it is an AI turn. (Ambushes reverse attacker/defender.)

Thanks, I just discovered that a minute ago.

Btw, auto_win gives me about 20% casualties. That hurts. I think I have to to the freakin shit again manually.

You could attack the enemies with a single merc unit, auto_win, then disband your merc and move your real army in without a single loss...
