Medieval II cheats

This page is horribly incomplete and does not include much info. Please help by editing it to add more info on what does and does not work.

To enter cheats, first open the console by hitting the ~ key, or the @ key on some keyboards. Then you can enter any of the following cheats. A note on multiword names: if you need to specify the name of a city, character, etc. that is more than one word, it's not clear how to do it.

Strategic map cheats

add_money <amount>

E.g., add_money 40000. This will give you that much money. The maximum possible you can get from this is 40,000 at a time, but you can enter it many times.

add_population <city name> <amount>

E.g., add_population London 3000. Adds the specified population (no limit?).

auto_win

Wins the next automated battle.

kill_character <character name>

Kills the respective character. May not work.

process_cq <city name>

E.g., process_cq London. Finish building every building in the construction queue of the city.

process_rq <city name>

E.g., process_rq London. Finish hiring every unit in the recruitment queue of the city. This may not work right.

show_cursorstat

Not really a cheat but useful for modding. Gives co-ordinates and region name of the location under your cursor.

toggle_fow

Turns the normal Fog of War on or off depending on initial state.

Battle map cheats
