Quintus's would work except for the fact that I literally can't cheat in the game :( the console consistently refuses to open. Would just moving the FMs and such over work? Or, even better, could someone explain how to change the files to change P's starting postition?

Is it a keyboard issue or something else?

I believe it's a Windows 7 issue more than anything. I've tried all the fixes suggested and they either can't be done (disabling the infrared reciever), or don't work (modifying the RTW key commands to add a button that opens the console).

Please try reinstalling your game from scratch. Since you tried the recommended fixes, it might be the case that your installation is incomplete or corrupt. That is, most of your game works fine but your console aka command prompt is not functioning.

That'll make it the 4th or 5th time uninstalling/installing rtw/eb, but okie dokie.
And the discs and EB worked perfectly on my last comp, so it's either the computer or the new OS

If the rest of your game works, there's no reason why the OS or computer can cause simply the console not to work. I don't see how that is possible. At worst, you need a new keyboard because your tilde button doesn't register. Who knows?

P.S. Over the course of my lifetime I've probably uninstalled/reinstalled RTW several dozen times.

If anyone wants them, here's all my Pergamon saved games (9 files in all), I think going from about 260-something to 196BC. Bear in mind, though, you have to be using the City Mod 5.1b (the one where barbarians don't grow cities), and probably Victory Conditions. I don't think Force Diplomacy is necessary to use them. Those are the only three mods I've got at work.

For the full effect I'd recommend downloading those other two files, upthread.
