accessing console commands

[xDrake]

the tidle key ` does not seem to work for me.
found this solution
"first, you go to the folder "data" where you installed RTW.
now go to the folder "text".
use a standard text editor (like notepad/word etc.) to open "descr_shortcuts"
go down until u see "misc." (at the start of the line)
there should be a line with "show_console" here, and it says "hidden" behind it.
remove "hidden" and save the file

start Rome: Total War, go to controls and press reset to default
there should now be a line "show debug console" in the list of misc. controls
set whatever key u like to it, press the key during the game, and there you go, a nice console"

but unfortunatley i dont have descr_shortcuts.

if anyone can help me access console commands / romeshell that would be lovely.

R2 is not set up with same access as R1, see workshop and modders guide, as well as You Tube videos.

For key commands (in game): options > controls > keyboard, see 3 tabs

OK which video's? Litteraly can't find a single one, all of them go about some weird mobile game which is frustrating.

What does any of this even mean? how would you even access these files through steam to even do this? Why would Rome 2 Total War not allow the Tilde key for cheats? never had this issue before.

Troll post? 😀
