Anyone else having fun being overpowered using console command?

[76561198055083273]

I am still new to the game and playing the game normally. I had lots of fun just doing tournaments and questing but seems like progressing was slow for me then I randomly thought up of seeing if this game had console commands where I could use cheats and it did. Made a new game save role playing an Genghis Khan, giving myself millions of denars and 5k Khan's Guards just decimating everyone in the first couple hours of making a new game. I will go back and forth playing without and with cheats but man, I am having fun RPing as Genghis Khan

If you can just roflstomp everything from the start games end up boring. Once you get to that point where you can start dish out the pain based on your effort, at least you have some sense of achivement.

It's a singlelayer game, so you go at it however you want. What you're doing sounds exceptionally boring to me.

No, it is the process of becoming OP that is the fun part.

Why would that be fun? The biggest problem with the game is that everything is too easy. The only ways you will ever lose a battle or siege is if you are outnumbered by a considerable amount or you get knocked out early in the fight. If neither of those things happen the enemy AI is simply not capable of winning.

I tend to use console commands to end stupid wars, the AI is far to dumb when it comes to the war.

Pretty much every time I play, I skip the first few levels with console commands. I can't stand being level 1. Doing any more than that just makes the game too easy, which happens when using console commands or not. I do enjoy making kingdom settlements rebel by lowering their loyalty. I mostly use them for trolling the AI. It's good fun. Enjoy your fun while it lasts.

this game is not for you!!!
an to answer your question, NO.
nobody besides you uses freaking console commands to get stronger in mount and blade......
because the whole reason we play the game IS TO GET STRONGER OURSELF, that is the whole point of the game!!!

hey, man, he asked fair question, not ragged on how YOU play the game. So dont rag on his way. If that is how enjoy his game - thats not your business. As long as it is not a multiplayer, it is not anyones business.

And be honest, didnot you played with cheats at SOME point in your life? I know i did. Sure, not in this game, not even in first M&B, but i did. And likely would do in some other game at some point. And everybody does, just like everybody watched porn at least once in their life. So ragging like that is not fair.

so true, m&b 2 is SHOCKINGLY easy.
i try to make it harder myself with every playthrough with only taking one faction, one troop type, only family members etc.
but still.........

2 main problems are the reason in my opinion after having 4k hours in the m&b franchise.

first of all, the AI is "somewhat" capable in the battle, but the main problem is how the AI behaves BEFORE the battles, meaning the moving and actions on the map.
you can kite and/or manipulate them into ANY situation you like.
resulting in favoring your faction in every given moment.
you found an army that is to big for you, no prob, just run close to them, and kite them to wherever on the map you like.

and second, the still completely broken economy.
money means NOTHING in this game, you are so unbelivable filthy rich, that nothing gold related matters in ANY form.
that results in making pretty much every unit below t5 useless because wages playing no roll,

thats just the 2 "main reasons" is see in the difficulty.
there is tons more.
