Huge amount of Denari
Go to "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign". Then open the text file "descr_strat". Then edit the denari you want to have say from 5000 to 999999 on your selected faction and then close the file run the game and when you play Imperial Campaign you should have the selected amount of Denari.

Unlocking all Factions without playing campaigns
To unlock all Factions in the game go to "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign". Then open the text file "descr_strat". Then move whoever you want from unlockable or unplayable to playable. If you move some things to playable from unplayable they might crash the game if you try to use them or might just outright not work, so be careful.

Best Roman Legion
For an almost unfailable Roman Legion setup, use this. Spearmen (triarii) or light infantry (hastati) in the front lines (extended as far as possible but not too thin) these will absorb the enemy charge, Heavy infantry (pricepes) just behind they will throw their javelins and then join the fight, skirmishers (velites) behind to keep bombarding and to give temporary help if the battle goes amiss, archers (Roman archers) behind for the same reason as the skirmishers (NO FIRE ARROWS), if possible Light artillary (scorpions) behind to give more support (NO FIRE!), and heavy artillary (onagers) at the back (again NO FIRE) at the flanks have light Cavalry to intercept flankers, and behind them heavy cavalry to continuously charge pull back and again charge to crush the enemy and finally behind it all your general to give a morale boost. (Only EVER use your general if the situation is desparate or to chase down fleeing infantary to get experience) If chariots are present try to have velite gladiators atthe front, elephants should have been taken down by your artillary or if you have none, set arrows to flame to make them panic and run before they crush your perfect legion!

Defend your settlement
Use the following tactic to fight an outnumbered foe at your settlement. If you know that you cannot defend your walls because there is too much ground to cover and you forces will be to thin to stop them, then follow this strategy. Put all your armies in the central plaza of the city. According to their location, put your light infantry blocking the path of where they would go after the walls break through. Remember that you want to make a small chokepoint so that they can fight only one way and not surround you. Then, put your heavy infantry behind the light infantry and put your cavalry on the flanks so that you can attack them at the sides. When they attack and are charging at you infantry, order all the infantry (including heavy infantry) to charge. Then, have your cavalry cut the enemy's retreat and attack their flanks. If this is successful, their front and rear will be attacked, allowing you to crush them. Note: This cannot be done against human players.

Blockades
If the Senate asks you blockade a port, you can go blockade it for the last turn and not have to do it for the entire five.

Cheat Mode
Press ~ during game play to display the console window. Then, enter one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function:

Cheat Code - Effect

add_money 20000 - Increase money by 20,000
gamestop - 10% cheaper units in campaign mode
jericho - Walls fall down in siege in battle map mode
oliphaunt - 40% bigger elephants in campaign mode

Note: Gerry Edmonds notified us he had trouble with the money code. Be sure you are on the campaign map before pressing ~. And, do not forget the space between add_money and 20000. This money code can be performed once per game. After the first time, you must save, quit, and restart the game to use it again.

Stand off
When you are outnumbered, have low forces, and know that you will lose, get a good stand off position by gathering all of your remaining forces, and go to a hill or the highest position if possible. If that is unavailable, go into the forests. Then, gather your forces and put all archers in the very back, all medium to close ranged missile weapons in middle, and all of your spearmen in the front with the legionnaires, swordsmen, etc. just behind. If you have elephants or horses, put them javelins. Then, with the spearmen formation, you can either wait for the enemy to hit the spearmen then charge with horses. However it would be better to horse charge them when they are in archer or javelin range, then keep bombarding them. Next, use all of your swordsmen to attack after the enemy hits the spearmen. Then, use all of your forces to charge, except for the archers. Move them away from the fight and keep bombarding. This is also a good choke point defensive maneuver.
