Q: How do you get gunpowder units in medival total war 2?

A1: If you want to cheat to get gunpowder units early in the game, then look around on this forum because several people have posted about "artillary elephants" and "rocket launchers". However, in the game, you must wait quite a few years until gunpowder is "discovered". It will come across like the windmill, Mogol invasion, compass, rudder, etc. scientific discovery boxes on the left of the screen. I forget the exact date, but it's not too long AFTER the Mongol invasion.

Q: Tilde key problems....When I press the tilde key...A glitch often occurs that loads a quicksave file or autosave file. Which usually scraps what I was doing. I've learned to delete those files before hand and I am able to save work. But it does create another file I have to delete. Gets frustrating. Can anyone help? I am using all the current mods and updates....

A1: Just a suggestion, this might or might not solve it. Check under "Settings" for the game controls. Try removing the "quicksave" from the tilde key and putting it on something else like F12. Might free it up for you to open the "Medieval Shell" window. Good luck!

Q: I want to give a character a trait but his name has an accent on the 'e' how do I give him a trait?

A1: Type the "E" as if there was no accent. The game is programmed to recognize where special phonetic accents should be placed based on the faction and the spelling. Type all character names as if they had no accents at all.

Q: Iv tried creating a unit with 2 names like english knights but only works with single names?

A1: try give_trait London "English Knights" 3 9 3 3 This works for me.

A2: Make sure to add the quotes for entries with 2 or more names

A3: Well it has the underscores _ like create_unit Rome "English_Knights" 5 8 8 8

A4: Like said above if theres 2 names you need to enclose it in quotes "", English Knights work fine As create_unit "English Knights" 5 9 3 3, Retinue Longbowman don't work however I remember finding out how to get these fussy ones before, if/when I work it out i'll post it here.

Q: What I need to do to get very big unit scales in Kingdoms?

A1: Go to "Options," then go to "Game Options." Set "Unit Size" to "Huge" and you're done. You'll have to create a new campaign for it to take effect, though.

Q: What does this mean?

A1: If you're asking about the "this" command for the cheat console, it means literally what it reads. In practice, it's used to identify a character that you have selected with the cursor who is outside of a city and on dry land. In a cheat code, it would go something like: give_trait this GoodCommander 5 The general that would get this trait would need to be selected by the cursor, outside of a city and on dry land. Use it on Priests, Assassins, Generals, etc. especially when they have a name that is longer than 1 word.

Q: How do you join a crusade and where?

A1: First of all, you must be playing a Catholic faction (No Russia, Byzantine, Moors, Turks, or Egypt) Only the pope can "call a crusade." Open the scroll that shows the pope and his feelings towards all factions and you'll see a small circle with a cross near the top left. This is the "request crusade" button, if it's grey then either a crusade is already in progress or it's been too soon since the last crusade. If blue, you can request the pope to call a crusade on a city from a list of cities that threaten Catholocism. Typically they're Islamic cities, factions that have been excommunicated, or some Rebel cities. Pick your city and request. If granted by the pope, select a general to send on the crusade. The general needs to have a certain number of units with him and he must be located outside a city on dry land. Open the mercenary scroll for this general and there is another blue crusade button, this time at the bottom left. Click "Join Crusade" and he'll get a white flag with a red cross. You'll usually find there's lots of new mercenaries that are available to join the crusade, buy any if you like, then make your way to the target city. Make sure you keep moving each turn towards the crusading city or some of your troops will desert you to pursue the crusade on their own.

Q: If your the Aztecs, how do you defeat cav?

A1: Well, the fact is, as Aztecs historically never saw horses, they didn't have any spearmen, did they? I suggest you swarm the horsemen, or take them out from a range. -Answer by:Warluster

A2: I did a custom battle I was aztecs in city. I had 15 units of arrow warriors and 5 units of jaguar warriors. I put the archers on the wall and the sword man by the gate. The computer was england it had 15 units of mailed knights and 5 units of dismounted feudal kngnts.

A3: They still had spearmen, just not for use against cavalry seeing as it didnt exist to them. I think theres a unit of "Aztec Spearmen" which are pretty effective though, but they will take pretty awesome losses

A4: I would use masses of spearmen, or, even better, ambush them
