Overview
Just a simple list of all the cheats available in the console commands of Rome: Total War. If I left any out, please let me know in the comment section.
Opening Statement
To even enter the cheats listed in this guide, you have to press the tilde (`), which is almost always located to the left of your 1 key on the keyboard, and above the tab key as well. Press this buttin in-game, and a command console should appear in which you can type in the cheats.
I would also like to note that, while this guide was made by myself for the convinence of steam Rome players, almost all the information compiled here comes from various locations on the internet, such as Ign, cheatcc, gamefaqs, and various total war forums. Thanks, and happy cheating!
“Simple” cheats
These are the cheats that are listed (at least in my opinion) in order of importance, and are easier to input and understand.
Add_money “number”: Self explanatory.
Process_cq “settlement”: Enter the name of the settlement you want, and the construction queue is completed instantly
(These are most likely the most used and important ones, in my humble opinion, the rest I don’t regularly use, but I will list the rest I consider to be important.)
invulnerable_general “general’s name”: This makes the selected general invincible in combat, but it apparantly only works when entered in a battle, if it is not recognized on the campaign map.
disable_ai: this pretty much shuts down all of the campaign ai, and they don’t move around the campaign map at all, but still function in battles.
auto_win “attacker”: Gives victory to whoever is attacking, as long as you go with auto-resolve
auto_win “defender”: Same as above, but for whichever force is defending
Jericho: Walls collapse in siege battles
For more cheats not listed here (believe me, there are more), please check out either ign’s or cheatcc’s[www.cheatcc.com] list of cheats.
Ancillaries and Traits
ANCILLARIES
To give characters ancillaries, you use the console command:
give_ancillary “character name” “ancillary”
For example: give_ancillary “Flavius Julius” “drillmaster”
This would give him a drillmaster, and provide a 25% movement increase for his army. An entire list for ancillaries, their descriptions, and bonuses can be found here, It’s huge, but just ctrl+f search around, and it should be much easier.
TRAITS
Traits have a similar command:
give_trait “character name” “trait” 1-5
For example: give_trait “Flavius Julius” “GoodSiegeAttacker” 4
This will give our general Flavius a plus 4 to command during a siege attack. All traits range from 1-5, but some cap at 3 or even 2. For a list of traits that another wonderful person(s) has compiled, I redirect you to a gamefaqs list[www.gamefaqs.com].
Halp me, halp you
This was a quick little guide I made, becuase I noticed there wasnt a cheat list on steam, and I needed a quick reminder on a few while playing. If there some important cheat I didn’t list, I probably linked it, and if there’s something missing, you want to insult my mother, or have any other comment, please leave them below, and my team of highly dedicated monkies will be glad to be of service. Thanks for reading!
