Cheat codes?

[CQCQ]

I apologize if it isn't kosher to ask this, and if it's been asked before, but I tried a search and couldn't find any info on it. So anyway, I'm wondering if there are any cheat codes available for Civ 3? I looked at the usual cheat code sites (gamefaqs, happy puppy) and tried the ones they suggested (lemur, multi, etc.) and none of them worked.

Any suggestions? I'm trying the second hardest level and just wanted to experiment with something, because I keep getting my butt kicked.

Thanks!

Read these boards, soon your cat can beat emperor. All the cheat codes you need.

[WarpStorm]

That's because there aren't any. (At least I think there aren't. I'll have to check now that you've piqued my interest.)

CivII had the cheat mode, but nothing in CivIII AFAIK.

go to www.civfanatics.com they have a few trainers that work. I used one out of curiosity and it gave me unlimited gold, can't remember what else it did. good luck

Yeah, I did quite a search a few weeks ago, and came up with some trainers, but no cheat codes. You could always just use the map/scenario editor to set yourself up very nicely with whatever you wanted, however you couldn't stop in the middle of the game and change things again.

I remember the Civ2 options to cheat or set up scenarios.

In Civ2, you could play halfway through the game, then set up a customized scenario with ALL your cities, units, etc. from your epic game. Or you could add or delete a few cties, etc.

I think that was one of the best editors. I think Civ3 or the anticipated Civ4 should incorporate this, so players can create almost infinite numbers of scenarios and possibilities.

With Civ2 editor / cheat menu / Scenario Editor, I could set up new worlds based on the "Sliders" TV show.

Are You asking for CHEAT CODES?

Well ask the AI, they are the only ones allowed to cheat in CIV 3.

The multi cheat does work but it has to be in lowercase but lemur doesnt work at all

You can cheat yourself... give yourself 20 of Modern Armor, Battleships, and ICBM's at the start of the game, such as 4000 BC in the Editor... Also, you can give yourself all traits, set yourself to Democracy at 4000 BC, give yourself 100 cities, etc. at 4000 BC if you want to.


In the Editor you can practically make yourself an uber-civ, then start up the map you created.

Then again, this is for people who can't even win on Cheiftain level.

i think if you start the game in DEBUG MODE you can add units and change stuff at random during game play.

Enable debug mode in the scenario properties page.

[Sovereign]

You can do that? Isn't that in C3C? Or is it in all versions of Civ3?

I am aware of this I just did not want to encourage this dunderhead. Cheats are great for games which require a good deal of maual dexterity. Losy shot? No prob.. just enable easy aiming. Lousy pilot? No prob.. just try out the GOD mode. Cheats in games which primarily rely on intelligence and strategy should not be needed. (I can just see CQCQ sit down to play a game of Chess and ask Kasperov if there are any cheat codes)

[Plotinus]

Of course, a person of intelligence would also have known that it's spelt "Kasparov"... ;-)

[CQCQ]

Nope, I'm just trying to figure out how a particular process works, and the easiest and quickest way would be a cheat. I don't plan on cheating through the whole game.

asleepatthewheel, do you happen to remember which trainer you used for that?
