toggle_fow

[Xehh II]

Can someone please tell me the MTW version of RTW's and M2TW's toggle_fow? Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure what toggle_fow does, but guess it's the command to reveal the entire campaign map... in which case the MTW equivalent is: .matteosartori. typed in at the campmap - it is not a 100% reveal - you can see all provinces and stacks etc, but you cannot see what's in a stack, although you can read the general's parchment, and you cannot see the buildings in a province. But you can see who owns what and where the armies are

The command was enough, thanks.

The command was enough, thanks.

Now someone is craving for satelites...

*Tedious persona on*
Technically speaking there is no fow in STW and MTW since you can see all the map anyway. A more proper description is "visibility" i guess.

The other way to do it other than the .mattosartori. is to add the " -strictserver -ian" extension to your MTW exe. shortcut target (right click the shortcut, choose properties and add " -strictserver -ian" in the top line you see there). This enables "god mode" with the pressing of the "g" key that is essentially the same as .matteosartori.. It also enables autorunning a campaign (a key) giving your faction to the AI (# key), and finally it enables jumping from faction to faction (hitting the number keys from 1 to 0 - they are set to the vanilla ones but you can set them up your self i think).

Fun campaigns may be had if you give your faction to the AI, autorun for say an era, and then come to pick it or any other (if they are doing rather well), to lead them to glory from the ashes. Hours of fun can also be had in GA mode in a similar way i guess.

Last but not least there is the -green_generals extension to be also added in the coda that makes your generals really die past their dying age - that is their features are not conserved.

While in -ian mode you can zoom out in the battlefield as much as your heart desires and in to the point that the sprites interfere with the unit cards.

Many Thanks
