are there any cheats?

[echoes222]

I can't get enough money to sustain my small party. tried hunting outlaws, there is not enough of them, and 60% of the time, I don't have any option to knock them out and if I do, it fails in most cases. Contracts in first map barely cover one payout. I constantly spend money on food and repair materials. I just want to enjoy my time... so are there any cheats or is there a way to edit save game to increase my gold? Because now I am NOT having fun, that's for sure.

take more then one contact at a time and do them all before returning.

Kill all animals you come across and do not let them flee so you get more kills AKA more meat.

Learn to cook, and get your hands on the Salt scoop. it reduces salt cost by 1. meaning all boar and wolf meat can be cooked with no extra cost and it gives more food.

do not bother with armor early on, do not repair unless you really need it. and most of the time you wont need it.

Sell stolen stuff at a fence( at the lake )

make sure you do not waste resources with people in your party who have " drunk " or glutten " and what ever else cost you more to keep them happy.

when you first start out run directly to the prison and buy 3 chains. you can only sell 3 prisonors at a time anyhow so no need to keep more then 3 around,

When you fight outlaws get the hp to less then 50% to open the option to knock them out
this option is only avalible to characters thats not engaged in combat, so unit " A " who is fighting the one you want to catch, cant do it. move unit " B " over into melee range and let him do it.
the chance to catch increases the further down you get enemy hp. careful not to kill them tho.

keep lvl 1 weapons so you can swap to them with your high damage characters, later on you can 1 shot enemies with a good DPS unit, so using a Crap weapon is the only way to make a catch posible.

hope some of this helps.

the only contracts I have left are the trading one (can't afford the pottery), boss (couldn't handle him, thus I got 2 extra team members to train them up and try again) and the tomb (I am a little bis scared to do this one). Oh, and Marheim cobtract, and I can't find a way to get there...

started cooking but salt + meat I am buying right now costs too much... will try hunting, although my last fight with wolves ended badly. Separately, it seems that my game does not respawn fishing spots, so that's another birdie in my face from this game ;D as for armour... how would I win combat if my tank do not have armor? Enemies are ripping my hp like crazy?

I mean I know hot to do this, it's just most of the time option doesn not show up, and if it does, GRNGeezus hates me, even if my chance is like 90% ;) separately, I haven't seen outlaws/bandits party in days. Like seriously, can't find any.

Buy the trade goods, leave the town and sell to the first Caravan, you make a small profit but it works in the beginning. Fight wolves and boars to get the meat.. Make low level armor. As you get more money together then go around the country and do the small missions given at the farms and houses. Give food to Refugees for the points. Fight low level bandits in the mountains and capture some to sell. you should be around level 3 to 4 and ready to take on your first hunt. Take out a rat nest or Hunt the ghost swarm. Then take missions to trade to where they buy at the highest price (Chart in Guides to help).

what you really want is a tank with taunt and a shield for protection. past this you need a poison weapon( or a way to attack that does minor damage possibly a boar.) when you get a guy past halfway put the tank on him. use taunt if engaged with someone else then protection. send anyone free to attempt to subdue. then the next person you don't have to attack with anyone just cycle people in then move them away. to give others a chance. you will eventually capture even if you have just a slim chance. poison will increase your chance every round. if you have a spearman you can even capture raiders the guys who have the premeditated attacks, the spear moves him the taunt engages then the rest of the squad can take chances subduing. one handed weapons are much better for capture than 2 handed don't attack from behind

I saw someone say not to worry about armor early that's a huge mistake. axe. sword. and brute characters can use light armor from the beginning of the game. the stuff you make blows away any drops or things you can purchase at this point. a superior set of light armor is 22 with at least 2 expansion spots and a +2 movement bonus. you need your targe to have the protection ability. that and rags (12) are at least a step up from the fishing outfit by 4 points. Besides you need to make a few items so you can unlock weapons and armor. one handed weapons are much better for capture than 2 handed. do the mines in Tiltren as soon as possible you should go get chains go to town then clear mines. your tinker can make fish hooks and lock picks which you sell for extra cash. try to equip everyone first. damaged daggers, ring leader daggers, are really helpful in draining opponents so is the poison you can make in the apothecary via bomb or for your blades.
there is no reason to buy any armor or weapons early.

food don't start capturing and fattening up boars until they are 3rd level this way you can have them eat 2 food per rest. don't allow animals to escape. kill everything you don't want to capture.
as long as there are 4 people around the campfire having full bellies isn't going to kill your groups morale . it's better to spread it out and make it manageable if you cant feed everyone. don't buy food unless you absolutely have to, keep booze on hand for "camp conversations just in case".
