Hello All,
New to the forum, does anybody know how to enter cheats in Empire: Total War?
I remember there was a box you had to tick and then press ~ to enter them in Rome Total War but I'm not having any joy on Empire.
Can anyone assist? 😀
The PC version did not have any cheats, in fact even the debug test version was cheat free.
However to help our faithful Total War players 😉 we hid some save games in the game data.
Hello,
When I click the "Open Preferences Folder" absolutely nothing happens. I purchased the game from the App store for my Macbook Pro. Is there something in permissions I am missing that might cause it to not open up the AppData?
Hello everybody
I've got some questions for you.
I recently bought the ETW Gold Edition in te Mac Store.
As you guys told, I used the, more or less, money cheat code you explained. So, I'm able to play ETW with huge amounts of money.
Though, I'd like to have some more cash so I'm able to play without looking for my money balance during gameplay.
Have you got any update on the 'cheat' or are able to get even more money with, I don't know, changing some game data or something in particular?
Anyway, I'm open for suggestions. Thanks!
With kind regards
MikeVictorRomeo

Hi there.
Ive got as far as the second data file but cannot see any zip files to do with gold rush saves or anything even remotely close to that. Its not there!
Have I missed something?
I wrote a script for people who got confused with the manual process.

Just download the zip file then run the .command file.

edddeduck i cant find the pregame options panel could you discribe what it looks like or how to get there sorry im so lame
It's the first thing that appears when you double click on Empire. It's a window called Empire Options. You should recognise it as it has the big blue Play button you press to start playing. 🙂
when my game starts it shows a blue screen that shows empire total war gold edition and says things like this uses speed tree and other things but i dont have a big blue button to press. can i still use the gold rush saves?
i wonder if there are gold rush saves for other total war games. I'd be interested in playing one of the shogun II campaigns with that feature.
You need to have the Mac copy.
If you do then the zip is in the data for Digital and AppStore versions. The DVD version the save file is hidden on the second DVD. I know all versions have the file hidden away as I put it there personally 🙂

Just download the zip file then run the .command file. You should right click and select "Open" from the contextual menu when running it to avoid gatekeeper blocking it. The reason Gatekeeper blocks it is it is a shell script and shell scripts can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Feel free to open it in a text editor it's fully documented.

However to help our faithful Total War players 😉 we hid some save games in the game data. They are at the beginning of the full campaign but you start with a ton of cash. There are saves for most major countries included.
1.) Right click on the Application and select show package contents.
2.) Open Contents -> Resources -> Data -> data
3.) Copy the empire - gold rush saves.zip to the desktop.
4.) Close the Resources Finder window.
5.) Start the game to the pre game options panel.
6.) Select the "About" tab.
7.) Click on "Open Preferences Folder"
8.) You will see a folder called "AppData" inside you should see a folder called "save_games".
9.) Double click on the "empire - gold rush saves.zip" file a folder called "save_games" will appear.
10) Drag the 19 different save game files from the extracted zip into the save_games folder inside the preferences folder.
11) Start playing Empire. The load menu will now contain lots of save games of the full campaign but starting with huge amounts of cash.

iJust updating this thread for future reference, as the game has been updated in the last year or so and these instructions aren't accurate any more.
This is how you do this now:
I have tested this on my MacBook Air M1 (2020) running Big Sur.
- Download the game from the Mac App Store.
- Right click on the Application and select show package contents.
- Open Contents -> Resources -> Data -> data
- Copy the empire - gold rush saves.zip to the desktop.
- Unzip/expand the zip file.
- Copy the save game files to /Users/[your username]/Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.empire/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Empire Total War/AppData/save_games If this folder does not exist yet, start a campaign and save the game so that save games have a place to live.
- Open Empire and you'll see the saves there.
