#Crusader kings ii cheats code#

This means we have to do a bit of debugging here: search for a starting point, set some breakpoints, disassemble the code and figure out how we can modify stats and traits without changing the age. Finding and modifying the age may not un-gray that button. And even if it were, this scenario is a little more complicated than that as there is a вЂњFinishвЂќ button you can see in the screenshots above, which gets grayed out when age goes above 50. That value, the age, is never stored in memory (or not persistently it is computed, displayed, and then forgotten), so searching the memory for it doesnвЂ™t yield any result. Unfortunately, it is not that simple here. For example, age may be computed and stored in months, but a conversion function is used to display it in years. Sometimes itвЂ™s not the wrong data type youвЂ™re searching for, but the value itself. Sometimes the value you are looking for is not a 4-byte integer, it may be smaller or bigger, a decimal or floating point number (where decimals might be truncated). Then I just modify that value to set the age that I want. For example, here I would search for the value 16 which would yield an insane amount of results, then I would narrow the results by modifying a stat or picking up an ability that modifies the age, and then I would search again for the new value from the result list, rinse and repeat until I narrow it down to 1-2 memory addresses. In these situations I usually use any random memory hacker to open the CKII process, scan the memory for the value that I am looking for and modify it. I would need to pick some bad traits already to decrease the age, and I have only picked up 2 good traits so far!

If I were to pick Genius plus Attractive, I would be 16+30+16=62 years old, 12 years above the maximum 50 so I wouldnвЂ™t be able to create that ruler. If I were to pick the Genius trait in Figure 2, my age would increase by 30. The list of traits clearly displays the age cost. The list of traits with their associated age-cost This is how the ruler designer looks like on the attributes panel. If we could just somehow get rid of the age cost, creating an OP ruler via the Ruler Designer is so much simpler than using cheat commands and digging through configuration files, because everything you need is on your screen and you can just select what you want. While this is fun and great, it doesnвЂ™t help me with creating the most OP ruler ever known to man. This means you cannot go about creating an overpowered ruler as you always have to counter balance buffed up stats and good traits with a set of bad traits to lower the age. Every stat and trait has an associated вЂњageвЂќ cost and your configuration cannot go above the age ofВ 50. I, and many others, do not consider this designer feature a cheating tool. Well, the game has this wonderful DLC called Ruler Designer that allows you to customize your ruler when setting up your game, which undoubtedly adds more flavor to the game and can be an excellent tool for role playing purposes.

So there is no escape, you have to find the configuration files that define the traits for every mod and dig in. There are plenty of situations where the ID of the trait is either a synonym word for it or worse, a misspelling.

For the vanilla game, I think these two values coincide most of the time, but that is certainly not the case for mods. Furthermore, the cheat command requires you to input the ID of the trait, not its display name in game. Lux Invicta) that more than doubles the list of ruler traits.

This is further complicated if you happen to use any of the popular mods for CKII (e.g. The list of good and bad traits is a long one, and you have to do a bit of searching for it on the web or by finding the right plain-text file in the game configuration folder that defines these traits (and then making sure you only add the good ones). You can easily set the age of any character and change their stats, but their traits need to be added one by one. Even though the game provides all the in-game cheat commands necessary to achieve this, it is not as easy as one may think. Nothing short of the most over powered ruler possible is acceptable. I had started playing Crusader Kings II again and like every other time before it, I always get to the point when I want to mess up with my ruler, i.e.
