Empire: Total War Message Board  

Regarding the Mega Trainer (Patch #5), $999.999 Gold, Unlimited Movement, ....

First of all I want to say that this is another awesome release from CheatHappens. The Mega Trainer has worked perfectly for me so far and the options are very useful. It has been especially nice to have since they decided to use an "external" console for development.

On a side note I've been rather peeved about their exclusion of an in-game console. I imagine they did not want people getting achievements "unfairly," or whatever. I give credit to Bethesda Softworks, which clearly did not care about that, haha. Oh well, just makes me happier for CH.

Anyway, I was wondering if it may be possible in a future release to see options for land troops similar to those for the ships. I was thinking of options such as making troops hard to kill and/or do more damage to enemies, really fast troops, giving them very high morale, etc. (It would also be nice to see the repair options, but I'm sure that's in the works or they wouldn't be visible at all.)

This is just a suggestion, but I'll still be pretty happy in any case. As I mentioned, this is a great trainer. Thank you CH for yet another terrific job.

As a stop-gap, you could edit some units to make them Über-good.

You know, I thought about that. I almost did it, but then I could see myself forgetting and suddenly running into a wall of Übersoldaten I'd given to a faction I played previously. lol

I'm having difficulty in locating the unit files to alter some of the unit in single player. This game is not like rome TW/BI or Medievel 2 TW Can anyone help?

I believe they are located within the main.pack file under the "data" folder in your game's directory. In any case it's in some pack file. You'll need an extractor to access it. You can get one at the link below:

I have not used it myself yet, but if it follows in the tradition of the previous games extraced files will be read before the ones in the .pack files. If not I believe this utility can also repack it, but make sure you back it up first.

Edit within patch.pack, as these files override main.pack.

thank you for the link

I also would like a super unit option for land units. If that can't be done, then maybe an option that you use before a battle that makes enemy troops weak.

I also wonder if there could be an option that raises experience for a selected unit, or maybe an option that auto wins a battle?

Also, the remove ship option (F4) worked on land units in the last trainer (which I loved), but now it doesn't seem to work on land armies. Any way to make it work on land armies again?
