FearLess Cheat Engine

i made a table its really the first i've made... so lemme know if i messed up at all but it should be for gold and mana

I'm stoked your tackling this game and I appreciate how quickly you've gotten started, but I can't get it working. I'm certainly no stranger to using CheatEngine. I can't change the values, nor click the check boxes.

You can also cheat books by searching for the amount of books you have in custom wizard creation.
It is stored as float, and yes, you can cheat life and death together, though I have a vague memory from the OG game of doing something similar and having an issue in the late game. Not sure though.
And in game the gold and mana are under 4byte

Yea, You sure can find the books, but I failed to do anything with them, e.g. there only 10 skill points to allocate and if you change the value of books to 12, I get -2 points and cant continue to the game

You can find them, store them and just before clicking next update them to the value of your chosing, if you click anything else than next you'll have negative points to allocate

Thanks for the workaround!

Yep, I thought I wrote that in my post, but neglected to do so, sorry .

Heads up, you can also increase the population for each of your cities. Using the default 4byt Scan.

In the Master-Of-Magic\ExternalAssets\Database folder you can do most of the modding for the game.

You can change the value of the traits all to 0, look for "DB_TRAIT.xml" file then save. When you start a new game you can select 6 traits and 12 books.
Master-Of-Magic\ExternalAssets\Database folder\DB_TRAIT.xml

Master-Of-Magic\ExternalAssets\Database folder\DB_TRAIT.xml

It also accepts negative values, ie you could put everything @ 0 except one at -36 to get all spellbooks (still need CE to have life & death concurrently)

Does that affect the AI? Will you face opponents with lots of traits?

the DB_Difficulty.xml file contains the variables for starting gold and number of spellbooks/picks, if you want, you can change the value from 10 11 12 to 48. So you'll have 12 books for life/death, chaos, nature, sorcery. You can use life and death schools at the same time but you have to use cheat engine on that.

anyone know where the value of traits is stored? i feel like 6 traits is not enough

I tried using a file parser to search the content of all the files in the install folder and no result for "trait". I also tried "retort" as I think that it used to be called that, and also no luck.
Any ideas for other terms they might have used?

been trying and failing to edit Power, anyone have any clue on what to search for?

So, here's a little something I put together.
-----
Grow mana/skill: mana or casting skill are replenished instead of being expended for spell cost.
Save mana/skill: mana or casting skill are not expended on cast.

Grow and save are mutually exclusive ("grow mana" won't activate if you have "save mana" already activated in same group, and vice versa). Select only one. "Grow skill" and "Save mana" (or vice versa) in same section combine no problemo.
World save/grow scripts work only on instant-cast spells (i.e. player has enough skill and mana left to cast the spell this turn). With "grow" scripts it is possible to accumulate skill and mana necessary for a larger spell by casting cheaper spells. May not work on special spells like "Create Artifact".
Probably doesn't work on enemy wizards. I hope.

Increase casting skill every turn: every turn casting skill is increased by 1, independently of power investment which still works as it did.
Increase casting skill fast: every turn casting skill is increased directly by amount of power invested.
These two options also are mutually exclusive. Select only one.
Almost certainly doesn't work on enemy wizards.

Add fame on city raze: instead of losing fame, gain the same amount.
-----
Scripts under "Mono-enabled" header require "Mono/Activate mono features" selected in CE menu to work.
Scripts under "AOB" header require first a spell to be cast (in world and in combat for corresponding sections). Also these scripts take long time to activate.

Have fun.

UPD: Most likely, does work on enemy wizards.
