How do you get to the Aztecs ? i red somewere that the rudder has to be invented, i have come to that stage but i still cant sail over there what do i have to do ??

a special thing shows up around the late 1400's and then you can sail there if you are spain.

ummm.....I think I've already answered this for some one else on this site, but here it is again.

You have to have a fleet of carracks. This is how I did it.

1. Start a campaign as the English (or any faction that can use carracks)
2. Give an admiral at least one carrack using the create_unit cheat like this…

create_unit “Admiral Nigel” “carrack” 1 9 3 3

3. Get rid of all the ships in admiral Nigel’s fleet that are not carracks or it won't work.

Load up your fleet with an army and sail west until you hit the new world. If you use infinite movement you can do it all in one turn.

I've tried that but it dont work for me it says settlement or character not found

then select the fleet and instead of the name of the character (i.e. admiral nigel) type "this" without the ".

what do you type??
and what is the invinite movement cheat?

Hi bashkan, how do you get "this" to work? I've tried..

create_unit this "unit name" and..
create_unit "this" "unit name" and..
create_unit This "unit name" and..
create_unit "This" "unit name"

none of them work for me. I've tried selecting a character, settlement or fleet (with the correct type of unit of course) first before trying. Can you say what I've been doing wrong please as it would be much easier if I could get it to work.

try it when there is not space between this and unit name like create_unit "this""unit name"
