Rome: Total War Message Board  

I seem to be having trouble using the create unit cheat. Anyone care to provide me with an example of what you would type in? Thanks.

Raven

I would like to know how to do this cheat as well. I've typed it so many ways but still doesn't work. Has anyone made this work?

Unit cheat only work once.

I.e.
For Rome

process_cq rome

It does work

To add to a city:

create_unit Rome "roman town guard" 5 3/3/3

To add to a general outside a city:

create_unit "Tiberius Brutus" "roman town guard" 5 3/3/3

The 5 means that you will get 5 of that unit. That's the max.
3/3/3 Is experience, attack and defense bonus. This cheat will only work once, then save and exit the game completely. Reload, repeat as needed.

The unit names you need are in a file in the Install Directory. It's called something like export_unit_descr. Can't check right now as I am at work.

Note:
For the city: should the city have two words in their name add an underscore ie New Carthage = New_Carthage.

For the general: always use the firstname and family name, not the nickname.

i thought it was process_rc rome, process_cq is for buildings or am i mistaken?

you can only use a cheat each time you load up the game.perhaps uve already used another cheat first!!!

Here's what I found to work... once per game start... if you mistype the create_unit command, you must quit out of the game completely and restart it, just as if you entered it correctly.

I have not figured out why some use
arguments at the end and which ones use 5 yet... good luck!
