Do you cheat?

[invictus1991]

Do you cheat codes like Auto_win attacker/defender?

[OccamR]

Rarely, I use the money cheat, but I like the uphill struggles you have to face at the start. For some reason, I can't play anymore when it's clear you'll win.

[CK23]

After I beat Rome with the 3 roman factions, I started cheating, when I started to play BI, I used cheats when it got to the point where is became way way to much to manage....

[Justinian Australis]

NEVERRRRRR! I play the game as is, without any need for help (idiotic AI doesn't fall into this category however)

[D.B. Cooper]

The only cheat I use is move_character and that's if I accidentally move my men somewhere I don't want them to and I'm out of movement points.

[Celsius]

Only if it's a really big battle and I don't feel like doin it.

[Dauntless Commandant]

I only use console commands for modding

[Scutarii]

Never. With an AI as weak as RTW has (particularly in vanilla), its never necessary.

[Yojimbo]

never ever i have no respect for people who cheat and then say they are actually good at total war.

[Lord Anubis]

Only if I'm near complete destruction.

[Xerrop]

No, i always want to win my games without them.

Even when i´m in trouble and loose the game i don´t cheat.
It´s bad luck that I have lost, but i don´t need to win every campaign I start.

cheating is soemtimes fun. in provincial campaigns i upgrade my cities to the max where i can make the high tier units straight away. i then defend that one city for the rest of the campaign. its hell hard having only 1 city. i never really get past 50 years when the romans come with their 3silever army

Hmm I used to cheat like that too. But after some time you'll realize the AI is so crap that the size and experiences of their army just don't matter

In Rome I have never used cheats (because I didn't know them) except toggle_fow.

In MTW2, because I hate Milan so much, I cheated just to get them to off and die already. Also in MTW2, I tend to fund the Russians or Byzantines a lot; I use the add_money cheat multiple times then give all the money to them as a gift. I don't want them to be defeated .

The weird thing about RTW is people don't accept gifts as often.

[Entropy Judge]

I tend to run two games at once - one in which cheats are never used (except for occasional FoW removal to see what the rest of the world is doing) and one in which cheats are not uncommon (generally just money, but I'm not above process_cq if I just want to break something).

[Toorima]

I've never used cheats, in fact don't even know any. But I sometimes reload in troublesome situations which I consider a way of "legal cheating". I'm trying to stop that too, so now I only save before a battle I don't want to play myself, give my AI Comander a chance. If he fails, I reload and do the odd job myself.

[dogukan]

I hate the moment I read the cheats...I hate them and doN't use them...but when my PC slows down I just want things to be quicker. The moment I do taht the game is fun no more.

[Roman_Wolf]

never cheat as this is hardly fun, since the most part I enjoy in the game is the uphill struggle. besides, Rtw is already too easy so what's the point.

i only ever use toggle_fow, i keep it on. just preferre seeing the enemys moves and regions.

[Selifator]

I use toggle_fow if I want to see the other side of the world. I add money if I have to bribe retardedly large stacks.
