Easy wins in campaign:
----------------------
First: Be Saxons because its the only faction i tested with. Ok get half sea
raiders and half saxon keels charge in with raiders and kill the remains with
your keels its very simple (if it doesnt work try better units like chosen
axes and wahteve is afer raiders in unit list.) Modify money , soldier's
weaponry and more Granted by VasilisVlaseros

Firstly, note that this is not a cheat but a system files change. Go to
program files/Activision/BI/Data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign.
There you should find a text file called "descr_strat.txt". I would advise
you to copy it to a safe place before proceding. After you have a back up
file of it, Open this file (the prototype one, not the back up one!).
There you should see some factions categorised in playable, unlockable and
unplayable. If you want to play with one of these factions, cut it and paste
it under "Playable" and it should be allright. Remember when you do this,
try to make the files look "as was" sp that there are no spaces. That could
lead to a crash to your program.

If you want to change a faction's money or troops exp wpns and armor, in
"descr_strat.txt", you can find all the faction's info and change it . For
example, after the list of the playable unlockable and unplayable factions,
follows a big list of resources. After this list, there is a faction( i
dont remember which one). Select the money of the faction, erase them
completely (only the numbers) and type 9999999999 . That should bring you
unlimited money. Watch it, if you type more than 10 numbers, denary may
go, minus.


Defending:
----------
If your underattack say by the huns (happened to be so many times) and they
broguht the whole family, heres what I do, I go Helmsdeep on them, meaning,
screw defense I attack them head on and take out the leaders, even if I lose
the town, I would lose anyway if I stay back, but if I go out like this, at
least you take out a family member, hope this helps.


Battle tip:
-----------
First, select your whole army and click ONCE on the enemy units. This will
start marching the towards them. Eventually, your Artillery will start firing.
Then, your archers will start firing, at that point, feel free to make any one
you wish to charge attack. It basically wears down and intimidates any enemy
units before the battle even starts.


Family member traits:
---------------------
When in game press the ~ key, and enter the codes (replacing the words
character name with your character's name) to give/remove the character
 trait in the right column.

Code: give_trait "Character Name"
NOTE: use quotation marks
NOTE: space between last " and number is optional

Example: give_trait "Character Name" "Berserker"3
