Need help with the cheat codes

[Cheater]

let me give you an example of how I normally do it.

give_trait Quintus RomanHero 5

What the above will do is give Quintus (the leader of the Roman Faction) the Roman Hero trait at the fifth level of it (the maximum I believe). I also noticed that you don't need quotation marks if the character only has one name.

Anyways, the trait names (and max level) can be found in only one surefire way... go to the data directory in your RTW directory and find the text file export_descr_character_traits.

This file has all the traits listed, the conditions, their effects, everything. You can even modify them if you want to create a 'super trait', but make sure you know what you're doing first... it's not hard to do, but you'd want to make sure that the enemy nations' characters' can't get their hands on it by accident.

Alright thanks! It worked, I've been looking for a cheat that increases the "Influence" level, are there any?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Sorry Shogun, but there is not individual cheat for that purpose.

To boost a character's influence you need to use the mentioned cheat to add relevant traits. As Cheater has said, you can usually find a list of such traits and their effects in either:
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\export_descr_character_traits.txt"
should you have Gold or:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\data\export_descr_character_traits.txt"
should you have a standard version - not Gold.

The directory may vary should you have installed the game in a custom directory. If this is the case, you may need to locate it using the Windows search function.

talking about using cheats,now i am using add money cheats to play as evil carthage that have unlimited money to support huge infantry to conquer the world,i use add money cheat only,i work on the rest like populations,then recruit unlimited infantry to overwhelm romans and the other factions.Imagine that carthage have raise the hell army like the scorpion king do in The Mummy2.....hehehe!(i will use alot of Libyan with the long shield for support)

next turn i will play "Barbarian Invasion" here=in Rome:Total War!Or the huge army of eastern army conquer the west.talking about raising hell army,i think egytian will do unlimited of desert axemen or nile spearmen.

hey that's cool *trying it*

So is there no way to recruit quickly. I seem to think there is a cheat something like add_unit "settlement name" exp level or something

The correct code is - create_unit "settlement/character name" "unit ID" 5 (units max) 8 (offense max) 8 (defense max) 8 (experience points max)

so it would look like this >> create_unit "Arretium" "roman arcani" 5 8 8 8

I use this cheat sometimes when I do not want to lose a city that is important .. I'll use this cheat and when the enemy attacks they will face full stack of defenders instead of just 1 unit

I know it is cheating but sometimes you can't to afford to lose a settelmen

The downside is that laer in the campaign map you have to pay to all those men that you've created useing "magic"

I've tried this cheat,but it only seems to work (in Rome 1.5) with the arcani, and in only a few cities,at that. I can't seem to get to work with any other units.
