did you try that? if you did, you will have no doubt noticed that I made a typo in my instructions. only noticed this when I tried to use it myself the other day (a Prince of Antioch was blocking my way through a mountain pass, when I had military access - no fair!)

I have just edited my post in the other thread to correct the mistake, sorry about that

let me know if it works for you

Hey Phonics Monkey, I tried your tips this weekend. It didn't work. Either that or I did it wrong..

Followed your directions exactly: Click on spot on map, type in as above, I noted down the coordinates. Then I selected the enemy general. And typed "move_character this 272,166" but message came up saying "err - no character exists".

It seems the problem is when I click on a character (army and character stats appear), at that point he is selected. But to type the words, I have to click on the console (you know, the bit that comes up after we press ` key). Maybe by clicking the console, it automatically de-selects the character. Hence registers as no character selected...

With the console open, when I select a character and try to type, the letters I type no longer appear in the console. Instead, they work as hotkeys for the game...

Alternatively, maybe because the Khan is stuck in the river (and no units can target him) so it works for the console.

Don't use "this" with the move_character command. Use his full name.

yeah, sorry about that

use his name like FH said

sheesh, you can't rely on anything I say eh?

Ah... I guessed as much. Hehe.

So if his name is "Khan Ogadei the Cruelly Smelling of Fermented Mare's Milk" (or somesuch), I have to use the whole name? With the spaces?

Sorry, I'm a very anal-ysing person. I need very detailed and accurate directions or I'll get lost miserably (I once even got lost in Venice with a map!)...

the move_character cheat only seems to work sparingly for me... you have to use his name before the titles, so if you have no idea what his last name was before he got "the cruel, the pious, the man, whatever", then i doubt u can use the move_character cheat...

In that case you'd use:
move_character Ogadei x y

If it does not work, check the campaign script file for his last name.
