Money to the enemy

**PhallosMaximus** · June 14, 2008, 04:51 AM

Has anyone tried to mod the game by giving a lot of money to the other factions from the start, in order to make the game a little challenging?

Did it work?

Thanks,

Just change starting treasury in text file, I don't know how it works, plaing with Russians is chalenging enough for me.

Yes, I know how to do it,- I'm asking if someone had tried playing with it.

Instead of doing that, why don't you just give them money (cheat) when you think they are doing bad? Or when you want them to be a challenge?

Say you are playing as Spain, and want the Moors to be a bigger challenge: just open the console, and type:

add_money moors, 10000 (Moors can be changed to any faction -even slaves, and the amount can be anything less than 40000).

Don't give them more money.... they'll just build more ballistas and catapults.

A better option would be to give them population bonuses and more buildings in their settlements.

Have you tried it? Is that what happens when you give them a lot of start-capital?

Thanks,

I haven't tried it, but the AI is bad with their money to begin with.

They always spam tons of diplomats who roam the lands doing nothing... except try to bribe your settlements (and fail).
