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: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.

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.

They cannot be accessed in the Grand Campaign on Medieval II. However you can unlock them by editing the descr_strat.txt file, although this makes the game rather unstable and prone to crashes, and it is therefore best not to try it.
The only other option is to buy the 'Kingdoms' Expansion, which allows you to play as the Aztecs and other native American peoples in the Americas campaign.
A4:
Use the Kingdoms exspansion. The cheat doesnt work and will destroy your game. Thats what happened to me

Q:Hi someone please help me. I read some where that you can add 1000000 florins entering the code in the campain map. Where is the campain map? and how do you pull it up.Also there adminisstrator codes that can be used also I have been told.Is there any truth to this and how do I use them and what keys do I press? Thank you
A1:
The campagin map is the big map you look at between battles
it consists of Europe, the middle east, africa, and some of asia.
A2:
To answer your money cheat question, you press the ~ button and a little screen should pop up saying "welcome to med shell". Then you type in, add_money 40000 that will get you 40000 florins.
A3:
Press this button (~) while on campaign map and put in cheat code
A4:
Well the cheat for 1000000 florins is Medieval Total War not Medieval 2 Total War and just stick with the ~ key cheats, U may need to download a patch to do it.
Open it, Search fore the faction you want to use the next Campaign, add units, add money, change your characters traits, etc.

Q:How do you marry your princesses to your own faction heir/leader? I got a mission asking me to marry my unmarried heir to my princess but it doesn't seem to work the usual way.
A1:
You take your princess to the general you want to marry her to as you would to a different factions general, works the same way except it should say 100% chance of marrying him

Q:When you are trying to edit the game files to unlock all factions where do you begin? I get as far as where it says Animations,cursors,fmv,sounds,and world,I click on world and get the following listing,maps ,battle,template,template_backup,etc.what do I do next? or am I in the wrong area? can someone provide a step by step procedure please? I am no computer expert.Thank you...
A1:
Maps, followed by Imperial_Campaign. Inside there, you will find descr_strat. Edit it as ordered above.
A2:
First click on 'Data', then go to 'World' - then head to 'maps' folder - then click on 'campaign'- then on 'imperial_campaign' then select the descr_strat file, where you can edit the game files. A word of warning, if you have Medieval II Gold Eedition or a Windows Vista PC, then the game might not allow you to edit the files. Or at least it won't allow me to do it :(
A3:
Go to MTW2/data/world/maps/campaing/Imperial Campaign,
This is the first you will see:

Q:I made changes in the descr_strat but I can't get them to show up in the game, I then tried to save the descr_strat and it said it is read only. How do I get this to work?
A1:
Save your changes under a different file name. Delete the old descr_strat file then re-name your new file as descr_strat.
