1. The code does seem to work for characters with a second name. However, you can 
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. 


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!

"weapon (1-3)"

Example -

Billion florins at start of grand campaign:
-------------------------------------------
I know there is a cheat: add_money 40000, its a good cheat but there is an easier way. Go to 
programfiles/SEGA/data/world/imperialcampaign/descr_strats, then find the faction you want to 
play then look for their starting florins then change it to 9999999999, if you want to be really 
brutal you can change your enemies starting money low.

Resource Manipulation:
---------------------- 
Go into the game root folder ie: 
C:\Programme Files\Sega\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\Imperial Campaign\descr_strat
This is a read only file so remember to remove the check next to read only in order to alter the 
file. Here you can alter any of the resources, money, start and end of campaign time etc. 
Remember to back up the file before altering any inputs
