select the character on the campaign map, then type for example, give_trait this
"GoodCommander" 5 or whatever desired trait. This also works for the give_ancillary code.
Unlock All Factions:
--------------------
Find your way to the Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
directory and youll see a file called descr_strat. Cut and Paste the unlockable
section into the playable section.
Now just save and close and youll have all your factions unlocked.
Getting Special/Unique Retinue Items:
-------------------------------------
To get unique and very cool items for your generals' retinues you need to perform
historically important acts. Eg. As a western faction you can send a general on
Crusade and when they conquer the target city they will receieve a special item such
as the Holy Grail, or Mary's Veil.
These special items add great bonuses to your generals' stats and abilities so they
are well worth going out to get.
6 Month Turns instead of 2 Year Turns:
--------------------------------------
To change the ratio of Turns to actual time from 1 Turn = 2 Years to 1 Turn = 6 Months
follow these steps:
1.Go to your medieval 2:total war folder, then data,world,maps,campaign,imperial_campaign.
2.Copy the file desc_strat to your desktop.
3.Make sure it is not read-only.
4.Open it using notepad.
4.Go down where it says "start_date" there look for timescale
5.Change 2.5 (ithink) to 0.50.
6.Save the file.
7.Cut the file in your desktop and paste it in "imperial_campaign" folder
(make sure you replace it, dont make a second copy).
8.Start the game and begin your very long campaign.
This ensures youll never run out of time if you are a slow player like me who enjoys
consolidating after each conquest. And don't worry about events as they change to fit
into the new time frame. This means it takes a while for gunpowder to be discovered...
but hey, you have to make sacrafices!
