I did use the move_character cheat, but only later on..mainly to find out if the fleet could be retrained up in the sea near germania...and they can! The picture is a few turns later after that.

As for the romani...they had a little help: i gave them 500,000 starting treasury, I have since given them on two different occasions 200,000 each time, and have a tribute with them now of 2,000 a turn.

The boarder me and the Romani share up near Olbia had a Romani army marching towards it not too long ago....I had to use the 'move_character' cheat to "steer" their wayward army in the right direction: anywhere but in my lands on a direct course for one of my cities.(we are allied btw....but that wouldn't stop them from attacking me).
