Cheat mode
Use a text editor to edit the "preferences.txt" file in the game folder.( First make a Backup) For infinite ammunition, change the value of the " LIMITED_AMMO: " line from "TRUE" to "FALSE". You can do the same for for morale, fatigue, fog of war, etc. values.

Note: You must start a new campaign for the changes to take effect.



Building debug mode commands
Use the following commands after enabling
the " building_debug " code:

Toggle view modes: Tab
Reset mode: Right Shift + Tab
Go back modes: Left Shift + Tab
Damages building under pointer: G
Display plaza: P



Creating units examples
Note: You can only do this once per game session and the codes are case-sensitive:

Create_unit "Arretium" "roman arcani" 5 units max 8 offense max 8 defense max 8 experience points max:

create_unit "Arretium" "roman arcani" 5 8 8 8
create_unit "Kotais" "greek silver shield pikemen" 5 8 8 8 8
create_unit "Kotais" "east hoplite brazen shield" 5 8 8 8 8
An example of the earlier incorrect cheat for Oliphant:

Create_unit "Arretium" cheat oliphants" 5 8 8 8 8 Yubtseb Elephants (or replace it with merc elephants)
An example of a city with two names:

create_unit "Campus_Iazyges" "roman heavy onager" 5 8 8 8 8

Rome: Total War Tips & Hints

Easy money
Start with the Juli faction, Red Roman. Listen to their first mission. Take that rebel town, then make a few Diplomats. Spread them out everywhere, then start asking for trade rights. The more money you can get, the better. Also, if you know you or your allies will not attack them, you can ask for an alliance. Another good method is to build all the farms, roads, ports, and mining things you can do in a settlement.



Win battles
To win a hard battle press ctrl and a and attack the enemy general.if you kill him or make him rout his soldiers are more likley to rout meaning you win.

Defend your walls
This is a way secure your medal in battle. Enemies has a lots soldiers, horses, elephants, but you have only few, or one unit of archers, also one unit of swordsman, legionaries... and your wall (Must be stone wall, large stone wal, or epic stone wall). Set your archers on the walls and your infantry behind gates. If enemy forces has not onagers (catapults) or archers, better for you. Also, you mustn't have infantry, it may be elephants or cavarly. By your ''ground forces'' go in front of gate so enemy can go to you. After they came in range of your archers, your ''ground forces'' must urgently retreat behind walls, so gate become closed. Archers will do their job, and enemy wouldn't has any chances, expect if they have missile troops of onagers. It's a way to go through battle with so few, or no casaulties. But, it'll be more difficult if enemy general has lots of stars in his commeand skills. However, it will be a one great HEROIC VICTORY! for you!



Stand off
When you are outnumbered, have low forces, and know that you will lose, get a good stand off position by gathering all of your remaining forces, and go to a hill or the highest position if possible. If that is unavailable, go into the forests. Then, gather your forces and put all archers in the very back, all medium to close ranged missile weapons in middle, and all of your spearmen in the front with the legionnaires, swordsmen, etc. just behind. If you have elephants or horses, put them javelins. Then, with the spearmen formation, you can either wait for the enemy to hit the spearmen then charge with horses. However it would be better to horse charge them when they are in archer or javelin range, then keep bombarding them. Next, use all of your swordsmen to attack after the enemy hits the spearmen. Then, use all of your forces to charge, except for the archers. Move them away from the fight and keep bombarding. This is also a good choke point defensive maneuver.
