Cheat Codes

Do you think this game should have Cheat Codes?

If so, what cheat codes do you expect to find in this game?

I don't like cheating and i never use them. However i would like to see the return of the toggle_fow!

I guess not, and I have to agree, toggle_fow is great to have sometimes (and to add realism). But with ETW its not really necessary because you already know where all the other factions are at the start.

Hi all.
I always wonder why people wants cheatcodes. If it is because they are unable to beat the game on easy/easy, I say get rid of the game and try something else instead. If it is because they wants to beat the game on VH/VH but want put in the effort, I say get rid of the game and try something else instead. Like chess or bridge. Cheat codes are for losers. Other wise, use a mod instead.

for strategy games like Empire cheating is the optimum of noobitry(just consider how smart the A.I. is) but in games like gta4 it ca be fun to use cheats for utter mayhem.

cheats ruin a game, so i hope not

I don't really care if they are in or not.

I don't cheat because I have no need for it but on the other hand I can't see why cheats couldn't be included. If someone wants to use them - fine. It is their way of playing the game and the only thing that matters is if they're having fun.

And it doesn't limit people that do not want to cheat at all. You simply don't have to use them so I see no problem there.

In M2TW I sometimes used cheats in hard times. Empire prevents me from this and I hope it won't be in N:TW.

I dont know how long you have been playing the Total War games, but I have never know for a Total War game to be able to use cheat codes. You have never been able to cheat in the Total Wars by using cheat codes.

Just to let you know!
Anyway, i would never use them!

I've been playing since Shogun. And your statement is utterly false.

Ok, well maybe because I never tried to, I never looked up TW cheats.

I used to like to give enemy factions money when they were losing in a war, so as to try to counter one AI faction steamrolling everyone while I try to conquer historically. But in Empire that doesn't really seem to be as much of an issue as previous games, so I don't really have any use for cheats then.

I don't use cheats, wouldn't if they were available. But what's up with the smug attitudes of superiority?

If you're good enough to beat the game, good for you. Don't call out other people just for wanting to use their game differently from you.

<shrug> Past a certain point anyone can beat the game. So, you start changing it. Like in M2TW, make Ireland playable, edit the home provinces a bit, start out with a bit of extra cash (which is easier to do w/console commands) and set yourself a goal to conquer all Roman Empire territories or defend civilization against the Timurids.

Another quick game-change is to select a harder difficulty but give yourself an early cash boost. Total war games tend to be more difficult in the early years. An initial cash pop flattens out the time/difficulty curve.

Console commands or "cheats" aren't evil, and beating the game isn't virtuous. And editing ETW/NTW files directly is a bit harder than it used to be. <shrug again>

The cheat console was great when testing out the effects of small modding, or when I grew bored not having middle eastern factions reach central europe.
Not historical, but definitely more fun.

All I used was good old toggle_fow just to see where everyone is.
