Q: When I try to give a trait to a person with two or more names, I get an error message that says the character cant be found. Do I have to have a special key ore something between first name and surname?

A1: Try putting scare quotes ("") around the person's full name. Or use "this" while selecting the character.

A2: If it's someone with just two names, e.g Alexander Canmore, then you just type 'create_unit "Alexander Canmore" "Spear Militia" 5 0 3 3'. However, if it's someone with a three part name, e.g Charles de Marseilles, then you would type 'create_unit "Charles de_Marseilles" "Spear Militia" 5 0 3 3'.

Q: How do you create units with 2 names with cheats also artillery?

A1: Just put the " at the begining and end example- create_unit Leon "chivalric knight"

A2: Artillery has an additional designator that changes by faction. For example, Culverins, which Holy Roman Empire can have, are called NE Culverins. NE for Northern Europe. Artillery that is specific to a region will have designators like that. There is a file in the Data folder of your Game installation called "export_descr_unit" open it with notepad and it lists the names and stats of every unit in the game.

A3: I have looked for this file with absolutely no luck. I mean, I looked in that folder. I looked in the game folder. I looked on my hard drive. I looked on my external hard drive. I looked online. hehehe Where is it!? Thank you

Q: How can I let the "Aztecs" use the gunpowder? I captured the new Spains cities and gian nothing

A1: You can't.

A2: Aztecs never really learned to use gunpowder they were killed off to quickly and they prefered live sacrafice and cutting peoples hearts out not so easy when the heart has a big hole and is alrady 50m from the body use other srengths like the jungle, ambush!

A3: The only native american factions that can destroy armies with gunpower and therefore use gunpowder are the Chichemec and the Apachean tribes. The Aztecs and other Meso-Americans cannot. (I have no idea why though)

Q: Whats the most important castles or cities?

A1: Ealy periods castles are the best for milatary but you cannot recruit spys, assasins or merchant etc. But when you get into the late periods cities are the best overall as you can create gunpowder troops.

A2: Early periods you're bordering regions should be at least 50% castles to be able to produce strong infantry as well as calvary. Late periods it's good to switch to mostly cities for they have a strong economy to back the mercenary styled gameplay, but keep a port city as castle to recruit many late period calvary units to be able to counter gunpowder units.

Q: Is it possible to add traits to other factions' generals? I want to turn the Kaiser of hre into a corrupt, perverted loonie... lol

A1: Give_trait cheat does wonders here.. did it during a crusade against the egyptions.. I gave the pharao so many negative perks that I didnt even manage to reach the capitol with my troops before the locals rebelled and killed him :D

A2: You will usually need to know the character's entire name to get the cheat to work. Some factions are easier because the main family has one-part names (i.e. England = Robert, Rufus, William HRE = Henry, Heinrich) However, if you want to change another faction like Venice (first faction leader Domenico Selvo) the character's name will read "Doge Domenico". So if you type: give_trait Domenico Insane 3 ...that won't work. It will have to be: give_trait "Domenico Selvo" Insane 3 And make sure you use the quotation marks.
