Cheats in Third Age

[Predatorian_be]

Hello,

Sometimes I'd like to cheat in Third Age TW, but I can't seem to create Isengards Warg Riders

I type in: create_unit "Isengard" "Warg Riders" 1

But the unit is't recognised. As with other units from other factions as well. The only faction to cheat well in is Dale.

Can anyone help me?

i just had an image in my head of an orc charging with a camel ....

that would be so freaking funny to see

i'm too sure on the unit spawning, never done it myself but when your processing_cq the Name of the town(etc) cant have a space in it. that might be your problem. most of dales units names are single words i think

You'll need to check the games files for the original names of the strat map locations - for example, Minas Tirith is Anorien, for example.

If you are really intent on ruining the game, you can look up the "real" city names in descr_region.txt in your data folder and for unit names look in descr_units.txt file. it's all in the data folder. SIMPLES

There comes a time when one has finished a game several times that one feels the urge to add a bit of excitement. What could be better than adding a bit of awesomeness and hilarity to a game?

Seriously, you should try Civilisation II, the cheats in that are brilliant.

It isn't cheating when the A.I. has insta-spawn units and mega-money cheats.

It is because you have a brain and the AI hasnt

I cannot find the "real name" for cities. Example, I have captured Dol Guldur and I cant create_unit because i dont know its name. create_unit Dol-Guldur doesnt work. Where do in my files can i find the "real" city name?

I cannot find the "real" city name for Dul Guldur in my files. What do i search in my files? create_unit Dol-Guldur doesnt work.

[Dea Paladin]

you do?

At least sometimes. (though not at school, especially in maths )

Wait.. You have a brain, why doesn't that surprise me?

*Calculating On-topic answer*

All unit IDs can be found in "Third Age\data\text\export_units.txt"
Just search for the ingame name, for example.

Warg Riders
Lôke-Innas Rim

And you will find:

{Wargs} Warg Riders
{Kataphracts} Lôke-Innas Rim

Only use what I made bold, not any {}

(optional) And then do the old fashion way and write down everything you need on a piece of paper.

(optional) And yes, I suggest you don't use units from other factions, at least not if you don't want to see
invisible soldiers running around on the battlefield.

True. Once I magicked up a troll catapult while playing as high elves at a siege. They really came in handy, they destroyed the wall and then i sent the trolls into the breach to soften up the orcs, they killed a coupla hundred before all dying and i went on to win the siege not losing a single elf!
However, the trolls had a wierd skin, all white, but they worked fine and as they fought, they still got bloody!
(btw, I know I'm a total hipocrite)

That's because the Trolls aren't assigned a High Elf Faction Texture.

Sometimes I just dont have enough time to play through a campaign properly, especially with all the patches and updates that come out and so sometimes cheat.

I like the idea that the High Elves recieve a huge army from Aman at the start of the game (unit spawn). I treat this as my army for the entire campaign, no more reinforcements! And then try to destroy evil as fast and efficient as possible.

Rename the name of the city at the citycard to DolGuldur, cheats only work with names without space between the words

[Flinn]

you can actually use "Dol Guldur" and it should work the same or possibly "Dol_Guldur" or you can do as Nergor said

to rename it just click on the city name in the city card itself
