Terhazza/Sahara - How to get there by cheating?

[Montresor]

Q: Can I reach Terhazza/Sahara?
A: No. Terhazza/Sahara is unreachable without cheating. It is a desolate desert and not worth owning. Besides, the EB script places nonsensical buildings in Terhazza to track the progress of your game.

I have spent far too much of my life playing eb and every few months I start a new campaign and run spys all over the desert trying to find a way in. I always thought there was some way to unlock it and I was simply unable to in the campaigns I played. Nonsensical buildings aside, I would really like to take a look at it. Can anyone tell me how it is reachable by cheating? Sorry if this question must be grokked into oblivion.

When you just want to take a look at it: toggle_fow.

BTW, how do you open console?

[konny]

With the key that is left to the "1" on your keyboard. On mine (German) it is the "^", I think on English keyboards it is the "~".

Yes, it's the "~". ANyway, why would anyone want to conquer this city? It does ruin your game, doesn't it?

I dont understand that. How? What for?

The script sets everything to zero and looses all counters when you quit a game. If you load a savegame, the script won't be able to know if you reached some sort of goal, but no longer have the requirements. In order for the script to know something has been accomplished, buildings are placed in the Sahara to track events you have done.
