Looking for some Medieval 2: Total War cheats? Using cheats in video games has been around for a while, especially in strategy games like this one. Not every game has cheats, though. For example, Civ 6 doesn’t have them.
But Medieval 2: Total War is still popular, even though it’s an older game. It can be tough sometimes, so cheats can be a big help. You can use cheats to get more money or give your characters special traits.
We’ve made this guide to cheats and console commands to help you out. A big thanks to Steam user Sir_Calcium1066 for putting together a detailed guide. We’re only covering cheats you can use in the game without messing with any files because that’s more like modding than cheating.
