    Icon4 Creating units. Cheats. :D No flaming.

    Yeah yeah yeah, don't give me hell about this. I just like having massive armies without the annoying wait. Anyways, I'm going to get to the point. (BTW, I do play the game without cheating. Its just that sometimes, there are those days when I feel like having a massive army of Romans wipe out the Britons or the Gauls :D)

    What are the create unit cheats on this game? I've looked all throughout the data folder in everything that had anything to do with unit creation to find the script that works with the create_unit cheats, but nothing works. I've tried...any combination of them.

    create_unit "Roma" "rtr_roman_hastati", create_unit "Roma" "Roman_hastati", create_unit "Roma" "Hastati"...but none of it works. 'Cannot find unit.' I also tried stacking the unit onto a General. That didn't work either. And I tried other towns as well. Nothing on any of it.

    I know mods like this usually change the unit names, and I'd appreciate someone giving me some sort of a unit list / unit change list that I could write down so I could avoid this type of trouble in the future. Its quite confusing and annoying when you have to stop in mid-game to find the unit name, only to have it not work >:[

    Answer quickly, please, if you can - I need to know asap :D Thanks!

    What are you needing actually? The rtw cheat commands themselves or the internal unit names? I don`t use cheats so I can`t help you with the former. But if it`s something beyond the cheat command itself I may be able to help you if you`re clear on what you need.

    He is looking for the internal names for the units, check the Export_Descr_Units

    No no no, I'm looking for how to spawn units through the console command.

    Create_unit <settlement / General name> <Unit name> <Unit number, experience, armor, weapon> The problem is, I can't figure out the units names. Or the names to use to SPAWN the unit, if that makes sense. I know the cheat and all that, I've used it before, but never on RTR: Platinum. And now that I'm trying, its not working at all :[

    I can't get it to work on RTR: Platinum. =\

    Like I said, I don't always cheat. Actually, I cheat pretty rarely. But there are those moments when I love getting a thousand man army together to demolish someone.

    Remember the name of the unit in game. Go to Rome - Total War\RTRPE\data\text and open the file called export_units.
    Search for the name in there. You`ll find something like this for example(from vanilla):
    Code:
    {roman_hastati}	Hastati
    
    {roman_hastati_descr}
    Hardy\nSapping Ability\n\n....
    The red part is the dictionary entry of the units. Copy it and do a search for it in the file export_descr_unit found in Rome - Total War\RTRPE\data. You`ll find something like this:
    Code:
    type             roman hastati
    dictionary       roman_hastati      ; Hastati
    category         infantry
    class            light
    voice_type       Light_1
    soldier          roman_hastati, 40, 0, 1
    attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap
    formation        1, 2, 2, 3, 4, squar
    The blue part is the internal name of the unit. (the red is the dictionary name you`ve taken from export_units and you don`t need it anymore)

    For the settlements you need to open the file imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names from Rome - Total War\RTRPE\data\text and search for the name the settlement or region has in game. You`ll find something like this:
    Code:
    {Rome}			Rome
    The name in the brackets is the internal unit name.

    Note that the RTRPE subfolder in all the paths described above is only true if you have the mod foldered version of RTRPE.
