Create New Units
To create new units for your faction, execute the create_unit [settlement] [unit ID] cheat command. You’ll need to replace [settlement] and [unit ID] in that command with the name of one of your cities to create the unit and an ID for it. This Medieval 2 unit list page includes all the IDs needed for this command.
For example, suppose you want to create a Peasant unit in Lisbon. To do that, you would need to input create_unit Lisbon Peasant inside Medieval War 2’s command console. That command will create a new Peasant unit in Lisbon.
Surrender Factions to Rebels
This Total War: Medieval 2 cheat surrenders all a faction’s settlements to rebels. So, it effectively eliminates a faction by converting all its cities to rebel-held settlements. Then you can attack the new rebel settlements without the Pope whining at you, as he would when fighting Catholic factions.
The surrender_regions cheat command
To activate this Total War: Medieval 2 cheat, input the surrender_regions [faction name] command. For example, entering surrender_regions England into the command console will turn all English settlements into rebel ones.

To do so, bring up the command console on the battle scroll screen that shows opposing forces; input auto_win [attacker/defender] into the console to activate that command. Enter auto_win attacker when you’re attacking and auto_win defender when your army is defending. Pressing the auto-resolve button will always settle the battle in your favor after activating that cheat.
