Can i cheat?

[lowkey]

Is it possible to cheat at all in this game? Im constantly running out of money, it's a real problem, so i was wondering if i could cheat just a little bit.

The save files are encrypted so if you can decrypt them sure. Otherwise no.
Sometimes you may need to run light on troops or not upgrade to high tier troops if you are having money problems.
Most of your money early game will come from Exploring and the fights they make available to you. Don't hire too many guards early game unless you see an enemy.

I mean, are there cheat codes?

[Abraxxus]

No

If you want you can always google Eador masters of the broken world trainer. Trainers will only work on singleplayer games.

I don't think any of them work since a patch earlier this year or late last year

Actually you can directly edit the safegames too.

What are trainers exactly? I've never tried them, they sound shady.

[Weiss1705]

Trainers are programs that can alter game data. Like health, money, ammo and other stuff like that. Most advanced ones can even spawn items or change one item to another.

Nearly a month passed since the "can I cheat?" topic was created.
Trainers are surely shady, and even as I know why one would want to cheat.. (I had too many situations when I needed just a thousand gold more or 300 more crystals... )
But instead wasting time on cheating, I advise to focus on trying to beat the game fair and straight. With cheats you may win, but only fair win brings real satisfaction and only fair win will make all the losing times worth. (as they turned into learning sessions, not just plain losing)
Here is the best cheat ever: not giving up (or not giving a f... Nick Nolte?)

Well, we have a number of cheat codes for internal use only. I'm not quite sure people will be happy if we release it public one day. It's like playing Dark Souls with cheat-code, a bit foolishly.

Well, i only wanted to know if there are cheat codes because sometimes when i have tried to take over a shard for literally 3 hours it's so increadibly infuriaing to loose just because i was missing that 500 gold or 300 crystals.
I f*cking LOVE the game, it's just so unbelivably frustrating and rage induceing sometimes :p

If the codes help with the single player component only, why should there be an issue?

[Svante]

It could be an issue, because for activating cheat code we need to add debug mode to Steam version - it could be an additional factor of instability.

I see.

Your last sentence in your original post made it seem as if the decision not to make them available was based upon assumptions that the gameplay would suffer, not because of stability issues.

Yep, I tried to camouflage a technical issue under gameplay expanation. But I must note here that our gamedesigner will kill me in case I allow users to use cheat codes.
