Games cheat/hack

Modify the save values to cheat/hack the games easier to win.

Save location

Before getting start, open your save game location.

Windows: %APPDATA%\roaming\kingdom_rush_frontiers
Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/kingdom_rush_frontiers
Mac: ?

Open file name slot_1.lua

Levels

The levels section in the save file contain array of maps, challenges, difficulty.
Example:

	["levels"] = {
		[1] = { // This line is a first map
			[1] = 3;// [1] means Campaign and 3 means veteran difficulty.
			[2] = 3;// [2] means Heroic challenge
			[3] = 2;// [3] means Iron challenge
			["stars"] = 3;
		};
		[2] = { // This is second map
			[1] = 3;
			[2] = 2;
			[3] = 2;
			["stars"] = 3;
		};
		// and so on...
	}

From the code above, if I modify the first map to be like this...

	["levels"] = {
		[1] = { // This line is a first map
			[1] = 3;
			[2] = 1;
			[3] = 2;
			["stars"] = 3;
		};
	}

It means that I had finished the campaign for veteran difficulty, finished the heroic for casual difficulty, finished the iron for normal difficulty.

Please note that modify these values directly may cause you to missed many achievements.
