Anyone seen cheats or a trainer for the full game? Ive looked all over everywhere for about a week now and no luck. Thanks!

I've looked for cheats and trainers alover the internet to, bud I didn't find any. Is it dificult to create your own trainer? Ther are some tools on this page www.cheathappens.com/essentials.asp that help you, but I have no idea where to begin?

I can't find the values with T-search, or I'd have made one myself

Same here.. Ive given it a shot a few times but never was able to get the hang of making trainers. So Im left to wait for the talented to do so for me. I guess making a trainer for this one is a tough one. Its been out a whole week now and nothing has come out anywhere.

No need to cry citisens of... ch! I am here. i will make a trainer when... i`ll get the game. no worry! i will make one, or somebody else.

This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "proto.xml" file in the "data" directory in the game folder. Note: You may first need to uncheck the "Read Only" attribute of that file's properties in Windows Explorer. Search for the text "CrateOf". You will find CrateofFood, CrateofCoin, CrateofWood, CrateofFoodLarge, CrafteofCoinLarge, and CrateofWoodLarge. For all these entries, find the tag "InitialResourceCount" and change the count to whatever desired. For example, the normal crates each have "100.000" of the resources. You can change the "100" to "99999.000", etc. Make sure you do this for all the crates; sometimes a map will give you a large crate of something, and smaller ones of something else, etc. This works best because every map you play in campaign or skirmish starts you with some "crates" of resources, which your settlers will gather out. This will edit the crates to have huge amounts of resources in them. However, it still takes a long time to get the resources out of the crate for the settlers, because there are so many. If you are impatient, search for "Settler" in the "proto.xml" file and find the tag for GatherCrate. Change the value to whatever desired, preferably something very high (for example, "99999". They will pull the resources out of the crate instantly.

for the crategather part, do you mean make a new line "GatherCrate" or find it and edit it, because I can't find GatherCrate, i found CrateGater rate, and changed it, but it didnt work

yes crate gather.. it works fine for me.

The only problem I have with this cheat is it gives the enemy unlimited resources as well as yourself. Still need a real trainer for this game.
