Is there a money cheat for this yet?

EDIT - Cheats are the same as previous games

add_money "amount" - Adds money
toggle_fow - toggles fog of war
auto_win "attacker/defender" - Makes one side win
process_cq "settlement name" - instant build for specified settlement
add_population "settlement" "amount" - adds population to specificed city

Just get Cheat Engine. I am using 5.2
It takes 2 Alt Tabs and your in Wink
Attach it to the game and do a First Scan (put in current money value from game). Tab back in and buy something( you will now get less money right Wink ), now do a Next Scan with that new value and u have it. double click on the value in that address (normally only 1 after the Next scan) and change the value to whatever you want. Cheat engine is super easy to use and super easy to make trainers with for any game that works with Value, Money, Lifes or what have you. Games like COH, MTW II, ANNO etc etc.

EDIT! how you trigger those cheats...console? or some key combi?

I have to start all over again now after 175 turns Neutral

You have to supress the filthy dogs! Make them Vassals! Cool


Seriously though, i've tried making other nations vassals of me, but to no effect. No idea what would make them accept it.

Tried it with a nation way smaller than me, before i launched a big ass invasion on them. (The troops were lined up on the border)

Tried it with a nation i've beaten down to one last city.

Tried it with the same nation, plus offered him to give all the conquered cities back in exchange for vassalage.

Tried it in conjunction with outrageous 'bribe' tributes.

None of the above seemed to work. All i got was 'firmly rejected'. Did anyone succeed in getting a vassal state? Is there a trick to it?

Anyway we better not reply on each other again because its obvious you cant be mature about someone else stating facts showing that he is right about some things without flaming.

Umm.. what facts exactly? That you know history? Well.. i certainly remember to have written, i was wrong in my assumption in regards of that. Other than that, you just told me that you are not going to argue about in game stuff, because you said what you wanted already. So excuse me please, but who is unable to be mature when facing arguments?

Quote:

The fact that you base your opinion on me because i acted dissappointed in my first post in this topic shows your incapability to cope with words which dont have your approval. bye, vote bush moron.

First, i specifically avoided calling you names - or tried at least - so i would be glad if you wouldnt start going down that road.
Second, acting disappointed is one thing, dismissing a game and the developers because you didnt like their work is a different one. Going all public with your oh so mighty opinion is a completely different one. So instead of riding the horse i presented when i criticized your historical knowledge, try to answer the original question of my post: why / how do you think the game sucks because of the 3-4 points you mentioned initially.
Third, as much i would love to follow your voting advice, i live as far from the USA as it gets. So take your pathetic insult attemts elsewhere.

Quote:

I dislike some options in MTW2 i already stated that way before you even joined in, however your first post in reply to me was your "you dont know history post" and that justifies a reply, so dont whine and leave me alone then, thanks in advance.

Rolling Eyes Uhumm.. yea. Then what about you check out first post on page 15? Because thats where i joined in. The history post is towards middle Page 16, and on Page 17 toward the end, i correct myself in regards of my history remark. (i even quote it for you)

One thing i stand corrected in regards of my original post: you do not need to learn history, as you obviously know it by now.

So before you start to lecture me, at least do your homework.

I always bribe the papacy Smile give them a regular tribute of 500. It is change really, but ensures they like you more than the rest Razz

Though one must also play the nice christian to stay in his favor, or just have a lot of money to put in his pockets.. the pope has a bottomless pocket of holding, so no ammount of cash can fill that.

Not suprisingly i havent been excommunicated myself - not yet that is -, but i love calling crusades against those who are Razz

One interesting thing btw: I got my cardinals elected to pope, and they are just awfully lazy in naming new cardinals. There were times where 6 of the 13 seats were free... and no cardinals have died for many turns. The pope simply forgot to pick new ones.

I wonder: is being a cardinal, being allowed to become a cardinal tied to piety? So is it possible, that there were simply no priests good enough to qualify? Anyone got similar issues?

In my game there are only 5 cardinals and 4 of them are Danish! I think it must be tied to piety as all my priests are useless, hence no cardinals. To keep the pope happy I just make sure to have a priest active in all my provinces, never had to bribe him yet.

Pity city sieges still fucking suck in this game (they did in all the other total war games aswell)

(When ur defending)

Half the time they either get stuck outside... or climb ur walls and just stand there

Sad

you're right that a lot of sieges still sux, they stand outside and do practically nothing.. but it did get a lot better.. most battles i do now while defending the AI actually does something. Usually bombarding all towers and then do a rush with all units at once, a lot better than before imo

*Tip* If you want to get your priests to cardinals you need to take them to somewhere where there arent any catholics, this will get them alot of exp and after a few years they are all cardinals Smile

Do you guys know any good totalwar 2 community?
