Empire: Total War Message Board  

Or, perhaps, it's because CA is a bunch of douchebags and didn't include it in the game out of spite. Actually, I read that they didn't include it because they got too many complaints about it making the games too easy. I, for one, don't believe that. I f you didn't like it, you didn't have to use it.

if it is a seperate program, then why not release it to us? This is even better fir what RevCheater said, because now it completely removes the temptation to use it: if you dont like it, than dont download it.

in any case, does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the fog of war? a file to edit perhaps...

I read on a post somewhere that they already coming out with a patch that puts in a console for single player but don't bet on that it was just some webpage form

To remove FOW:
- Go to folder empire total war/data/campaigns/main;
- open scripting.lua with notepad;
- at the end of the file, you will find this:

local function OnWorldCreated()
scripting.game_interface:technology_osmosis_for_playables_enable_culture("european"
scripting.game_interface:technology_osmosis_for_playables_enable_all()

- just add this: scripting.game_interface:show_shroud(false)
after the last line and before the "end"

- save & play!


anyway, i'm going to submit the file to CH!

I think the battles are worth playing but I do miss console, I looked forward to create_unit and process_cq

They got rid of the console because of the use of Steam. You cant cheat on steam without disabling the achievements.

Though does anyone actually care about the achievements (apart from the nutters who buy games just for the achievements)?

Just saying.

i dont bother about the achievements but i do want the console back indeed. it's much funnier with it

honestly who cares about achievements on PC games? the PC is not meant for Achievement *****s.
