How do you give money to other factions?

[shootie]

Is there a easier way to do this than to use force_diplomacy on other factions? It would take a few turns to get diplomats to places like Armenia. I heard you can use the add_money cheat on other factions but when I try it it never works. Im trying to do a realistic Roman campaign so I want the AI factions, pirticually in the east to be at peace for a while

Hmm, I'm pretty sure those are the only ways.but I found this and maybe just find the other factions and edit it. Sorry :*(

Go to
<your directory>\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
Then open the text file &quot;descr_strat&quot;.
Go all the way down till you see (Heres what it should look like) it shouldn't take long. Then just edit the denari you want to have say from 5000 to 999999 (Most i've done) on your selected faction and then close the file run the game and when you play Imperial Campaign you should have the selected amount of Denari
; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; start of factions section &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
faction romans_julii, comfortable caesar
denari 5000
settlement

When you type in a console a command like this: ?add_money you're going to see how the add_money command should be constructed: add_money <opt:faction_type><amount>
The problem is that there's a comma missing. The proper command should be like this:
add_money <opt:faction_type>,<amount>
So lets,s say you want to give 5000 dennari to Parthia. The command will be as follows:

add_money parthia,5000

Don't forget about a comma or the command will not work.

If you are willing to code the Decr_strat, go down to the bottom and put the middle eastern diplomacy and general "attitudes" as such:

A code quote from my own descr_strat, you could copy and paste this into a back up version of your current descr strat, but make sure you read it and understand what they are doing:

So its a lot, but here is how it works. The first set of numbers Core_Attitudes is how they feel about each other, and the second set faction_relationships, sets their beginning diplomacy. I believe I have all the middle eastern factions all allied and friendly towards each other.

Also as people above said, in that same descr_Strat you will need to start out those middle eastern NPCs bankrupt.

Personally because Seleucids start out with an entire empire they generate some massive steam, so I start them out at negative, -1,500,000 denarii. Additionally Macedon seems impervious to modding because regardless of how you set them they will make war with greek cities. If you aren't watching I noticed they almost wiped out Dacians, so I saved them in time.

Of course for the other computers you will have to decide how to set them. When you are playing historically and the AUC year rolls around (you start to fight them) just feed them money using the add_money faction, #### command to bolster their bank accounts so they become active again.

This isn't fool proof, but it does buy you around 100 or so turns before the middle east becomes anarchy. Currently I am looking into making a money script to modify the computer's gold until their years come around for Roman interaction.

add_money 'Mordor' 40000

Replace Mordor with the faction you want.

Rhun = Rhun
Dale = Dale
Isengard = Isengard
Rohan = Rohan
Gondor = Gondor
Harad = Harad
Orcs of the Misty Mountains = OOMM (i think)
Eriador = Eriador
Silvan Elves = Silvan
High Elves = Noldor (not sure. forgot - maybe just high? i dunno)
Dwarves = Dwarves (me thinks)

Leave the apostraphes. Also, you can change the sum of money from -40000 all the way up to 40000. Can't give/take more or less.
