Medieval 2: Total War - Cheats

Whether you like it or not, Medieval 2 is the best strategy on the market. It rules over any other game when it comes to numbers of units, tactics and turn based strategy for city building. It's enough to simply look at some screenshots and realize that you can't go wrong with this one. A game of this magnitude will have a more than difficult level of gameplay and will require some serious cheating when the patience runs out. Fortunately for you, we are in the possession of such devious means of treachery:

Add traits to all characters

To add traits to any character in the game (including those with 2-names), move the character outside of any city or fortress and select him. You should be able so see the large green movement field.

Traits with numerals following the trait-name can have any number up-to the number listed. The "strength" of each trait will increase with its value for these traits. This cheat command works on all generals, diplomats, princesses, merchants and priests in the game.
