Does Mount and Blade Warband have cheats to allow me to besiege a castle on my own? If so, how can I enable and use these?
I love to play Mount and Blade solo. I'm getting to the point where my character can win 1 v 75 battles without having to retreat. I'd like to be able to try and see just how far I can get with taking castles, but there's one problem:
There's a minimum party size of 5 or so when you wish to besiege a castle. No problem, I guess, I can hire 5 guys at a nearby town, start the siege and build the entire tower on my own whilst fending off bandits. But then it turns out you need to actually have like 5 people in order to even be allowed to start an attack during a siege.
I checked menus.txt of the game's files, and it seems there's several "cheat" options in there to forcibly start a siege. However, checking a wiki for the game does not list menu options as cheats... so how can I trigger those cheat actions?

Don't know if this is late, but to activate the menu, press the tilde key ` and the shift key together. This should open a black bar on the screen. Type in Cheatmenu, then press enter. When you go to a town/castle, you should be able to scroll down to an option Cheat : Besiege Castle.
