Cheating problem

[Pharnakes]

I have juggled with money in game, completly crippling the selukid economy (although they refuse to colapse) and giving Pontus, Saba, Hai, Sauro, Saka, Baktria, Pahalava and slave lots of money. A few turns ago I just typed in add_money, slave, and then sat there for five minutes pressing up, enter, up, enter but and I think in the end they got something in the nature of 10 milions, but would it make any difference? No.


And I give the Ptolemaioi lots of money, but they still wont send much at me, although they seem to be getting into the habit of sending the following stack at me: 2-3 machiomoi phalangitai, 1-2 pezhetairoi, 1-2 klerouchoi Agema, I-2 machiomoi hippeis and 2-3 galatikoi klerouchkoi. They've given me that twice in a row now, I nearly fainted with supprise and delight when they first sent it at me.

Slightly different problem this time, having just tken ambrakia and converted Epiros into the the Tarntien league, making them my protecterate in the process, how do I move a left over army in Aitolia into Magna Grecia?

Meaning what is the exact formula to be put into the shell, and which file are the cordiantes drawn form?

don't know the formula, but the coordiantes you got from the game. Just point your cursor on the place you want and tipe show_cursorstat into the console

I think Mytilene is a big part of the Macedonian problem. That combined with the fact that they just seem to be stupider in general means they always end up losing...except in this game! (me as Bactria)



Just kidding, that was all my doing. Desperate to see them actually be of importance rather than an Epirote or KH punching bag I first would randomly process_cq Pella/Demetrias to get their infrastructure up and running. Then when that did nothing, I snatched Tylis/Byzantion for them and gave them 100k. When that still wasn't useful enough, I bribed every single KH/Epirote army I could, including Athens and Thermon; I have 6 bribed generals hiding in a corner of Greece. The Macedonians were also in the top 3 world military, which is saying something given some of the strong empires there are in this game. Yet, with both other Greek factions having nearly nothing to keep themselves alive, the Macedonians did not attack and finish them off, but rather a few turns later both Pella and Athens were under siege! After a few more repeats I gave up and auto win'ed with a bribed KH general and mercs and gave them their new Empire. After this, they have surprisingly been doing something within a few years, retaking Serdike, conquering Kallatis, and sieging Naissos. They had 3 full armies sitting on Mytilene for the longest time but they have recently vanished.

I found rather interesting results from my tampering this game (with the A.I balancing mod). I'll post them in that thread tomorrow.

Use the show_cursorstat command. It will tell you the coordinates that the cursor is currently pointing at (it has to be transversible land if you want to move an army there).
(Say it is 76,124)

Then you find the name of the guy you want to move. (Say it is Pyrrhos Aiakides) For the name, it has to be the birth name, titles don't count. And the name has to be the internal version, so Somebody of Someplace would be "Somebody of_Someplace", and a Roman First Middle Last would be "Firstmiddle Last", and for the Arverni it is confusing.

The command form you would want is (exactly spacing and punctuation):
move_character "Pyrrhos Aiakides" 76,124

(Btw, don't move characters that are inside of cities, it causes... problems.)

Thansk all, I've got it working, three years later and look whats happened:



Magna Greacia is now definately Megale Hellas, I would say.
