    Icon7 Command Line Cheats?

    So I guess I haven't properly introduced myself here yet, but I'm not going to bore you with pleasantries. All I will say is that my thanks goes out to Neph for his amazing work. Like most, I grew up with Ocarina and Majora, so when I found this, I immediately fell for it. Thanks a million, sir for getting me into the TW franchise.

    So, let's jump right into my question. I've been screwing around with the mod for a while, and it recently hit me to start using the console commands to mess with the game out of boredom one night. Now, you got the basic commands, such as adding money, toggling the fog of war, etc, but after going through three (fortunately functioning) campaigns, I decided to be an OP dick towards the computer, and spawn a bunch of units to roll over people.

    Question is, what commands are there, if any? Has someone compiled a list of compatible console cheats for the mod, or at least, what each faction an its units originally were, so that I could just use them?

    Don't feel the need to answer this, I'm just asking out of a want to go on a power-hungry murder spree. I'm perfectly content with the game as is, but I just wanted to let loose. If anyone can link me to a topic with them or drop a few here, that'd be amazing

    I advise against them, but I admit that sometimes they are the only way to counter the enemies spam. However, the game will change with the very knowledge of these, and it takes a lot of effort not to use them. Therefore, they are in spoilers for those that don't want to know them.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    On the select battle/autoresolve/retreat scroll:
    auto_win defender (then select autoresolve for the defender to win regardless. Same with attacker)

    add_money X (replace x with the value, to a maximum of 40,000)

    add_population X Y (IIRC, x is the settlement, and y is the value, to a maximum of 4,000)

    toggle_fow (toggles fog of war)


    You can look up more online, but these are the ones I remember.

    I've been wanting to use the toggle fog of war (mostly to check out what the situation is like at the campaign start), but with my keyboard I can't seem to find the key to open up the window in which I'm to type the codes.

    Be strong, my friend. I was first put on to them by the TATW campaign, in which there is only enough income to allow for the upkeep of one army at a time, making expansion practically impossible. I used the money one occasionally just so I could get a couple decent sized army... then it went on. It's only recently I had the strength to go through a campaign without cheating, except in the case of the enemy seeming to spawn several full stacks, with no penalty.

    That money cheat is pretty much the only way I can even play as some factions in Call of Warhammer.

    Namely the elves and Sylvania.

    I mostly use them to make npc factions actually playable without losing in two turns. Except that one time that I wanted to see Hyrule in flames so I... how best to put it...

    Hmph. Anyways, these links might help you people.

    In addition, if you want a list of Unit names as they appear in the game data... well, I hope you care to dig up the data files. We don't exactly share units with vanilla M2:K:TW

    i was wonderting, does the "Force_Diplomacy" Cheat work anymore in this mod? i wanna mess around and get some rebel Generals, like King Dondogo, without destroying him, and seeing as its virtually impossible to bribe him, cheating seems to be the only way to have fun with Rebel Hero units D;

    Doesn't work. Other than that, bribing generals, even important ones like Rutela, turns them into a standard general. ex. I bribed King Dodongo for a ton of money and he turned into a red darknut leading a group of mighties.

    Wait, clarify. Were you PLAYING as the darknuts when this happened? How was King Dodongo's Cavern NOT conquered by the time you arrived?

    If your fast enough, and build a diplomatic quarter as your first building, then you can get there, it will just be a tight race
    and that really blows. Whats the point of certain NPC Rebels being there that are awesome, when you cant get them? It even staed for the Gorons that King Dodongo and Darunia formed an uneasy alliance, making me THINK that he would at least be a Hero for the Gorons.

    Nephalim will probably implement that in due time. For now, they are just enemies.

    I slaughtered everything that got in my way to that magnificent beast! This was the last release too. I made a huge force with an agent in it. Then I forced my way to the Dodongo Caverns, lowering my relations with Gerudo Gohma, Lanayru and Hyrule. The only one that attacked me was the Ghoma so I killed them all off. By the time I got to my destination there were only a few units left for the settlement, and a huge Hylian force packed with trebuchets on their way to the caves as well. I cheated to get enough money to bribe King Dodongo. I. Was. Disappoint! Same with Queen Rutela.

    I have no idea how spawning generals works. I usually win the campaign around turn 50 on long. Then I spend the rest of my turns conquering the map. Never got King Dodongo or the red darknut ambassador for Aghnahim.

    Spawning generals is more complicated than command line cheats, because it requires different scripts to make a General Unit an actual General. General units are stored as their own special unit but these units are not intrinsically generals on the campaign map or in custom battles. You can spawn as many as you want, but they won't be able to do what generals do, just like how the large single units are "General units" but are no longer generals because of their bodyguard bug.
