    Default How often do you use the auto win cheat in campaign?

    I personally use it when im not bothered to fight on map, while not wanting to risk the comp screwing up. I usually use it every couple of turns when im attacked by rebels or other factions. However, if its an important battle, like fighting for Jerusalem then I wont use it, as it would be killing the fun for me.

    So how often do you use the auto win cheat?

    Never I think cheating takes away the fun of the game, even if its for little fights

    The only cheat I use is toggle_fow so I can laugh at the absurdity of the common Papal Empires my game gets.

    I don't, because I haven't figured out how to use the cheat and I don't want or need it.

    The only cheat I really use is I will toggle Fog of War every 10 years to see how things are changing around the world. Past that, I don't really want to bend any game rules. No free wins, no free money, ect.. If there is no negative at all then things get stale quickly.

    The only way I could see myself using auto-win was if I absolutely had to get a Man of the Hour pop or risk having my named characters run out.
    I see the better and approve; I follow the worse.

    If you liked my post or thought I was helpful, hit that +rep and leave your name so I can keep an eye out for when you deserve some. Unless you suck. Then you aren't getting crap. Ever.

    For some reason I cant seem to create a poll, do I need to have a certain post count to be able to create a poll?

    Aye, I think its 20/25 posts or so and also being a member for a period of time..a week maybe?

    Auto-Win is my personal 'rebel repellant' when I can't be bothered fighting annoying little rebel stacks.

    I never reload or use toggle fow and if the AI catches me out with a decent ai stack I take my thrashing on the chin like a man.

    I might be back next turn though with a few mega stacks of 'create unit' goodies to give them a thrashing in revenge

    yeah, when the french attacked my single ship that had a family member and some militia units in it and killed them I didn't reload the game, I called a jihad on Paris, created 4 full stacks of desert archers/christian guards/dismounted christians/lamtuna spearmen/dismounted arab cavalry and exterminated all of their 5 remaining regions
    try attacking my ship again you bastards

    This is the kind of fighting attitude I like to see Sooner or later the AI is gonna learn that we have the Holy Console in our armoury.

    I can take a thrashing off the AI on the chin, but by God next turn there's gonna be stacks of elephants knocking around the map in vengeance!!

    I cheat all-time. If I lose a battle I play it again. Some time I jump back in time, 5-6 years to make things better. But I have NEVER used auto-win, I think thats not fair! Somebody more who play battles 2-3 times to win?

    I think we have all re-loaded many times. Although I as of late have been making myself not. Its fun (albiet annoying sometimes) to loose a battle that you had no doubt you would loose. IDK I just dont find battles too difficult most of the time. I do however use auto-resolve alot if its a given victory.

    I typically use it when I don't feel like fighting, but I know I have enough troops to win. Sometimes the game has me lose even with a superior force, so when that happens I just make it let me win.

    I also use auto win most frequently in sea battles. In the early game I don't have the spare money for large navies, so I use auto win. Later in the game I do have the money for large navies, and use it less often.

    I used it a few times, but I think I can even count it.

    An occasion was when I was playing magyar mod, where in the first years AI navies are very rare, but pirates are common. This resulted in a strange situation.
    As Hungary I went crusading for Antioch, captured it and gifted it to the Pope. So I set sail to Hungary.
    However, the sea was full of pirates following me, and I was attacked 5-6 times every turn. I tried to get back in a fair way, but I couldn't do it.
    Since I didn't want to leave my king, my heir and 15 kickass units in Antioch (which was not mine by then...), I used that cheat.
    I suck

    I noticed something when using this cheat: when you siege a town/city etc. and the garrison attacks you before you can assault and the odds are against you and you use auto_win it will always be a Draw, dunno why ....
    I don't use cheats; when I'm not in the mood for a fight on the battlemap I use autoresolve, but if the odds are against me I don't autoresolve/use auto_win, I just quit and start playing M2TW again when I'm in the mood
    Oh yes, I started to always use autoresolve when I siege, because if I play it myself I loose lots of soldiers, but when the AI plays it, it looses only 5-10 soldiers (in some cases); Is this cheating ?

    Yes I've noticed that, when you siege a settlement and use the auto win cheat it aways ends up as a draw for some reason .

    I was very tempted to use it once, when the Mongols laid siege to Constantinople. I stood against 10 full stacks, and when the last 2 remained, i had only 23 Pavise xbows and 12 Italian Spears spread in several units. God bless the assassin that killed their final general.
