In Rome TW v.1 most of cheats work for one time in each time you run game.

I hope it be use full for yours.

Good luck.

Removing culture penalty
Destroy the foreign shire/temple and wait for one turn.

Defeating spearmen

Always attack from behind when fighting spearmen. The best way is to attract a band of spearmen is to send some units close to them. Do not engage them to fight. Once they start chasing your army units, start attacking with your cavalry from behind the spearmen. They should start to run in a minute.

Defeating cavalry

A spearmen wall is an effective way to take out enemy cavalry units. Do not let the enemy cavalry to engage your ranged units.

Defeating elephants

Elephants are the biggest and toughest unit. Use your rangers on elephants. Elephants can crush the biggest army in minutes.

Defeating chariots

Chariots can cause a mess on the battlefield. Use your archers on them.

Defeating the Senate army

Do not if you see a large Senate army around Rome. Their army consists of obsolete units such as Hestatai and Princepes. They can easily be crushed with Legionary Cohorts, Legionary Cavalry, Onagars, etc. Note that as soon as you do away with the Senate, the other loyal Roman factions will declare war on you.

All factions

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "descr_strat" file in the "activisionrome - total wardataworldmapscampaigni mperial_campaign" folder. At the top of the page it will have something like this:

campaign imperial_campaign

romans_julii
romans_brutii
romans_scipii

Change it to the following:

Better units

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "descr_strat" file in the "activisionrome - total wardataworldmapscampaigni mperial_campaign" folder. Scroll down to find the faction to change. In this section there is a line that starts with the word "unit" that allows values relating to experience (0-9), armor rating (0-3), weapon level (0-3) to be changed. Once edited, you can copy and paste that line up to twenty times to create that number of units in that army.
cbcta ryw, yvy v, wvsv

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "export_descr_unit" file in the "activisionrome - total wardata" folder. It will be a huge data source for unit information, were you can edit the units to your pleasure. To make your archers more powerful, scroll down and find the quot;roman_archer_auxilli a" entry about two thirds of the way down. Each unit has its information set together with a break between the other unit information. The unit names are at the top. Go down to "stat_pri" of the "archer auxillia". The first number is the attack power. You can increase this to about 70. You increase it more, but it will not count the attack higher than the maximum number. The next number is for when the unit charges, and how much bonus it gets to its attack from that. Next is what the unit fires (if they can shoot anything). After that is the unit range of the weapon (increase this). After that is the ammunition per man (increase this). You now have a very powerful archer unit for all Romans to use. At the bottom is the ownership. You can delete the other faction names if desired, so only you can use them.

Another thing you can do is change Peasants into Phalanxmen, or Hoplites. Go to "roman_peasants", and scroll down to "formation". Next to "horde", type , Phlanx, (include the commas and space). They can now form a phalanx, and will have spears. You may have to change the original formation from "horde" to "square" to do this. However, you cannot add the formation "testudo" to Peasants and expect for them to have big shields.

Edit the preference file in the folder where you installed RTW.

first got to where you saved rome total war then select data then world, maps ,campaign, imperial campaingn ,descr_strat then scroll down and find the factions then there you are [you can also put in loads of money for you and 0 for them] say if it does not work [p.s a nerd did NOT put this on]

When you get into a fight that you know you cannot
win and you cannot run, use the main body of your force to attack
the enemy and have ranged units fire at them. Slam your cavalry
into the rear of the enemy, then pull them away again. Send them
back in and pull them out. Keep repeating this, and you can at
least cause the enemy to lose as much of his forces as possible.

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!
