Any cheat codes out yet?

[CoLS Firestar]

Yes, I know it just came out, but I'd still like them.

Have you guys never heard of trainers?
best place to get is Mrantifun
just type banished trainer or any game and the trainer for it will appear
download the trainer put the executable into the folder of the game
launch it and when the game world just press the keys on the trainer to activate the different cheats

Trainers usually carry trojans.

If you want a god-mode tool, use the Debug Menu mod, it lets you add anything you need, build for free, ignore cold, hunger, educate everyone at once, start disasters, change the season, etc etc.

No need to get a .exe trainer when a mod built with the modkit released by the game's dev works just fine :P

I have never come across this because I only use MrAntifun or if he does not have then i will use game copy world but very carefully. When downloading trainers try to only download from the people who made the the trainer and not the people giving away trainers not made by them cuz thats how they get the trojans onto other peoples computers.

Most of the trainers I have downloaded were quarantined by AV before I can unzip them.

MrAntifun trainers are very good. My AV didn't see it as a threat.

Codes, Cheats or debug-modes have been a staple of single player games since shortly after their beginings of gaming.

Ways to make the game interesting, completely broken, or spice it up after you've played it too long. Or a thing to enable something for a time to get past a particular point, then disable them to continue on.


Gamesharks, cheat code books, and other guides were widespread in the days before the internet and being able to look up videos showing exactly how to do something. (I know.. crazy concept.)

Age of Empires could allow something as simple as a little more of a specific resource (Coinage for gold for example), cause catapults to fire cows if facing two directions, and supermen if facing the other directions, or something crazy like releasing crazy babies riding tricycles and wielding shotguns into the middle ages.

They're something to add fun. Though they've been left out of many games nowadays which makes sense for multiplayer games, but in the case of single player games where it has no effect on other people at all? Odd that they've been phased out of many games.

Starcraft had 'breathe deep' for some vespene gas, 'the gathering' which removed mana costs from abilities, or if you wanted an interesting change you could punch in 'operation cwal' to increase build speed, however it affected your enemies as well Attacking was tricky and defending was easier. Because the defender would be able to replenish units very quickly while yours would still have travel time to get there.

In the case of this game, perhaps something like 'streetsmart' = any adults become educated.
'lostyouth', all children are instantly made into adults.
'SwordsToPlowshares' instantly obtain a number of better tools.

or whatever!

It would be an interesting change. Required? No, but it would be interesting for those who aren't wanting it quite as hardcore, but of course they do have mods now but many are gamebreaking. Whereas a cheatcode tends to be a modifier (Bonus food, resources, etc.) and of course there were instant-win codes in some games but you'd pick n choose ;)

My favorite "cheat" mods are "Increased Resources Combined" and "Ridiculous Storage".

If you want the full truth. An easier way to play is by having all those 'increased yeild mods' active and also. the one thing that the guides on here sometimes overlook is that having loads of houses is surely a great thing... but ONLY if you have a market that covers them all (or multiple markets... Or use the smaller vendors mod and have loads of them for houses) without this, food gets taken by whoever gets there first and they horde it in masses (i once had a family of 2 with a house who had 500 fish, venison and grapes and the others were starving).

maybe they were fishmongers and wanted to make wine :)

Fish and wine.... ummmm sounds..;; biblical?

Jeez, dead thread, i know, but i think there's a couple tips i can offer which may or may not count as cheats, or exploits.

1) Fires: Super problematic, especially if you'd forgotten wells like me and you've built a . . . thriving metropolis with lots of building packed together. Solution when a fire starts in the center? Schedule for demolition every house around the burning one. Works better if you fire all your builders at the same time. Demolishing houses don't seem to count as flammable?

2) Women live longer than men: Not in game actually, but remember that one old fogie who lost their spouse 20 years ago and has kept their house in their grubby hands without producing any "new citizens"? Schedule the house for demo, then undo it. The old person is kicked out and has to go live elsewhere, while a happy new, fertile, couple moves in.

3) Markets: Markets are just an exploit, build them.

4) Trading Rivers: This is a conditional exploit, it assumes you have mods installed that allow to manipulate some aspects of terrain. You can totally "block" part of the trading river instead of building bridges, lazy butt, and the trader will just keep rowing down the river through the new strip of land.

5) Lakes: Same as number 4, certain mods only, if you can raise up lake beds you have enabled easy mode. Noobs will make lake borders straight as to fit more water-front buildings. Pros will build strips of land across lakes, with buildings on either side of the strip and a road down the middle, and bam, you fit like 50 fishing buildings on one lake.

6) Farms sizes: Some try hard somewhere with an over-priced math degree and too much time on their hands calculated the most efficient farm size is something like 11x11 for 2 educated and tooled citizens. What that means to me is that 12x12 with 3 people is the way to go when you down have great tools or education.

7) Late game burnout: Getting bored towards late game? Not enough to do? ♥♥♥♥♥ please, Colonial Charter Mod is the only way to fly. It includes that geography manipulation tools, adds infinite new resources, and something to occupy yourself with until you easily pass 1000 pops, it also includes easier difficulties and harder ones (Adam and Eve Start, only 2 pops! LOL)

This is a very curious thread. I am not sure why you would want cheats for the game when you havent gotten very far in the first place. The complaint you are making is the whole point of the game any way. You are supposed to try to have people live while growing your town...and see how far you get. Wanting to have cheats is a cowards way out in my opinion. There really is not an end of game point in the game...it is more of the goals you set for your self. So, if you use cheats, you miss the entire point of the game and the challenge.

This being said, there are no cheats, but there are mods that pretty much are cheats. More wood, stone and iron from resources are just a few. Faster roads is another. Go browse the mods and make sure you look in more than one place for them. I think there are at least 4 places to get mods for this game. I use mods(yes, even the ones considerd cheats)because i have played the game without them and have made it work and am now trying to go big and have a sprawling community to see how far I can go.

But to be honest, wanting cheats before you have even tested your abilities is pretty weak. Dont give up so fast. This game has some great challenges if you give it a chance. Test your self and try to get it done without cheats. Go to the help and tips sticky in this forum and READ IT!!!! It has some very good info if you are having trouble. Based on what the OP said, he has not gotten very far and has given up. Dont do this just because you cant figure it out. Try a little harder, think for a change, dont expect others to figure it out for you. Engage your brain. This game is not that hard if you do these things.

Again, this is not a rant about using cheats! This is some help to get you going on a fairly easy game that does not have cheats.

If you are still having trouble with this game after all this info, then there is only one thing left to do.

Shut off the computer, get out of the basement and have your mommy make you a nice PBJ and a glass of milk. Maybe she will give you a hug too.

Wow. I'm sorry for whoever hurt you so that you feel the need to uselessly insult others. I also feel sorry for you. You must be terribly embarrassed by this awful post you made. It really hasn't aged well. If you don't have something nice to say, take a long hard look in the mirror and analyze why that might be.
