Thanks for the reply, XSamatan.

1. I always wait until the music finishes, but it doesn't seem to help. My best bet might be to close the game and restart often.

2. I found the answer to the shell problem:

first, you go to the "data" folder in both the RTW and bi folders.

now go to the folder "text".

use a standard text editor (like notepad/word etc.) to open "descr_shortcuts"

go down until u see "misc." (at the start of the line)

there should be a line with "show_console" here, and it says "hidden" behind it.
remove "hidden" and save the file.

start Rome: Total War, go to controls > misc and press reset to default
there should now be a line "show debug console" . set to whatever key you want.
