Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of
the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the .xml file in the
“save” folder in the game directory.
Locate the"Resdepot” entry. It will appear similar to:
ResDepot type=“1” amount=“94472”
Type 1 is gold.
Type 2 is supplies.
type 3 is food.
Change the amount to “100000”. It will make you play the next level and it should
show 100000 in all 3 categories. When the level is finished you can use your
resources. You can repeat these steps as much as you like just exit the game and
repeat.

Here are some cheats to help you if you get REALLY stuck. In the Cradle of Rome
directory you’ll find a file named Profiles.xml that you can edit. Make a copy of
it before making any changes so you have a backup.
Now, open “Profiles.xml” with Notepad. Find the line near the top where it says
where “NAME” equals your user name (”[” and “]” begin and end each line of code).
On the second line below this make the following changes.
Please note that I’m using—and—to set off the text to be changed.
The text—Last life=“X”—(“X” equals the current number of extra lives) can
be changed to increase or decrease your available lives.
Want 10 extra lives? Change it to read—Last life=“10”—to make the increase.
The text—level=“XX”—(“XX” equals the level you previously completed)
can be changed to get past a particularly difficult level.
So, if level 61 is giving you fits, change the text to read—level=“61”—
and when you restart the game, you’ll be on level 62.
Unlimited bonus weapons:

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of
the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the .xml
file in the “save” folder in the game directory. Locate the"ResBonus” entry.
It will appear similar to:
ResBonus type=“10” amount=“200” min_amount=“0” max_amount=“200”
These are your bonus weapons.
Type 10 is the hammer.
Type 11 is the lightning bolt
Type 12 is the bomb
Type 13 is the hourglass
Type 14 is the cross
Type 15 is the star
Type 16 is the shield
Type 17 is the mixer
Change the amount to “200” (not the “min amount”) and you will always have
them ready to use. If you need them again for the same level, exit the game
and repeat the steps.
Tips and Tricks:
————————
The quicker you finish a level, the larger time bonus you receive. Time bonuses
add to the resource that you need the most to make your next purchase. Try to
fill your extra time power-up, so you can use it right before you finish the
level to maximize the time bonus!
