Cradle of Rome

Cheats:
-------
Submitted by: David K

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.

Cheat mode:
-----------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of 
the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "profiles.xml" 
file in the game directory. Locate the heading "NAME" followed by your 
username. Note that "[" and "]" characters are used to mark the start and 
end of each line of code. Make the following changes below the "NAME" heading. 
Change the value of the "Last life=" line to increase the number of available 
lives. Change the value of the "level=" line to set the number of the last 
level you successful completed. You can use this to skip over levels.

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!
