Deserta Invicta

[Amun Nefer]

Guess I should have said call it the Sahara and the Arabian desert. :3 The reason I say that is because Sahara Desert is redundant like Loch Ness Lake. :p I guess that too few people would know Sahara means Desert in Arabic for them to get it though. :( (what's up with my smileys? :o)

Also, how do I get cheat codes to work in this mod? I haven't really needed them but still.

Fair point.

To use the cheats to work you have to type them into the command console which you open by pressing the key to the left of the 1 on your keyboard. A google search will give you sites that have lists of the various cheats.

The more common ones are
add_money x (where x is a number up to 40000)
toggle_fow (which reveals the map)
process_cq "city name" (finishes all buildings in settlements construction queue)

That's the thing, I know that whole thing by heart yet it doesn't seem to work when I run EB. It worked in an early build (.8 I think) but afterwards not at all. ;-;

Btw you have a PM. :)

i suppose you could teleport an army there... you can make it some kind of hellhole exile for overtly lame family members... then watch them as they get alcoholic/deep melancholy traits and spiral into depression.

Haha, Black Hole of Terhazza! :p I suppose I could use a trainer for it. :/

You can simply use the console to transport armies there. And then capture it. The only problem is, you need to to input the internal name of the captain or FM you want to transport in order to succeed. Most of them are fairly straightfoward, but some (Especially the Romans) are a bunch of gobbledygook and guesswork.

That's the problem though. The console won't open with EB. I don't know why. :/

I'm a master of the English language which is my first language and an amateur etymologist, so I branch out to many other languages and try to learn all the connections and origins of words. :) It's basically the Arab word for desert, because to them while the Najd was a certainly a big desert, the Sahara is such a vast desert that it must be THE Desert, just like Constantinople, AKA Istanbul is effectively just "the City" to many people, with Istanbul actually meaning "to the city" in corrupted Greek (for mailing purposes). Besides everyone I know has heard of the Sahara so when I say Sahara they know I mean that big-ole expanse of wasteland in Northern Africa. I can then tell them it's the Arab word for it and they usually remember it. :)

Sorry about being pedantic btw.

The reason I say that is because Sahara Desert is redundant like Loch Ness Lake.

Not redundant if you are an English speaker like me. When I speak of the Sahara, I don't translate it, because I don't need to bother. The Sahara is named the Sahara for reasons unimportant if I am simply referencing it. If I speak to a friend of the Sahara, and she asks me, "The Sahara? What is the Sahara?", I reply simply that "The Sahara I speak of is the Sahara desert", as that is what its name is. (I reference it by name, not by definition.)
