unlimited money

You need to have a hex workshop or other hex editor installed. I used it only for Poland_Lithuania. Start the main campaing (world dominance) then save the game without doing anything. Exit ETW and open hex editor, open the game that you saved few seconds ago and go to the line:
000826A0
it should look like
00 00 04 70 17 00
last 6 digits are responsible for the amount of money in your coffer, by changing this line to
00 00 04 D0 13 7B
you will get $8.066.000 - that should suffice for construction, recruitment and bribing your allies

Cheers

I'd prefer to play fairly...

Thats brill. I'm not quite as moralistic as the person who replied I will certainly try it sometime, perhaps if when I can play as a tiny faction, would be a laugh.

Would this work on existing save games as well? Not that I would I'm just curious.

This works on save games.

(Just for the info, i started a new game to try this and didn't ruin my hardly worked save game.)

where are the save files located?

**Crow** · March 23, 2009, 07:37 AM

The saves are in your document folder I think.

It is a hidden folder (make folder visible with explorer)

Google > other form refers already to following path

in XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

I've been searching all over and can't locate the saved games file. Any advice on how to find it.

EDIT: Found it, was looking in the wrong user named folder (time to clean things up). This works great. Does anyone know if editing this same spot will work for other factions as well?

I got the Hex workshop hex editor but I haven't got a clue how to work it. I tried searching for the string but can't find it. I don't spose you can give an idiots guide to the hex editor?
