All cheats can only be used once per RTW session prior to patch 1.3. After using a cheat, to use the same cheat again you must restart RTW, load your game, and do it again. With patch 1.3 and after, cheats may be used multiple times however. Any settlements with multiple names must have each separated by an underscore. For example, Carthago Nova would be "Carthago_Nova". We are not responsible if cheats ruin your game.
