Archimedean Dynasty Cheat Codes

To use these codes, hold down both CTRL keys while you press the number:

0-Finish mission

3-Unlimited cannon ammo

Archimedean Dynasty can be edited a text editor to get extra cash and all the weapons and subs. To edit, open a SAVE#.DES file (where # represents a number, usually 0 is the first saved game [SAVE0.DES]) in the Bluebyte\AD\Dat\Save directory. The actual name of the saved game should be under the [Global] section with a Name = in front of it. Edit the line after this. It says Credit = #####. Change the number to however many credits you want (99999 should be plenty).

Example:

[Global]
Name = MyGame
Credit = 13237 (Change this line)

If you want the best ship straight away, ie the Succubus bomber, not the
crappy old Hiob. Then start a new game, save it as e.g. new1. Exit out
of the game, edit the latest savegame, \ad\dat\save\save???.des.
Make sure is says new1 at the top of the file.

Then where it says
[Ship]
type = 2049

change it to:-

[Ship]
type = 2052

Can also add a few zero's to your credits while your editing the file.

If you want the best of everything straight away then cut out the Hiob
details and past in instead:-

[Ship]
type = 2052

[ShipMounting0]
side = 0
type = 3
armor = 5124
nrs = 0
sensor = 6148
buzzer0 = 0
buzzer1 = 0
buzzer2 = 0
buzzer3 = 0
buzzer4 = 0
buzzer5 = 0
buzzer6 = 0
buzzer7 = 0
fixer = 0

[ShipMounting1]
side = 0
type = 4
engine = 4099
booster = 0
silator = 0

[ShipMounting2]
side = 0
type = 2
model = 3076
software = 7174

[ShipMounting3]
side = 1
type = 1
model = 3078

[ShipMounting4]
side = 1
type = 0
model = 1032
torpedo0 = 14
torpedo1 = 14
torpedo2 = 14
torpedo3 = 14
torpedo4 = 14
torpedo5 = 14
torpedo6 = 14
torpedo7 = 14
torpedo8 = 14
torpedo9 = 14
torpedo10 = 14
torpedo11 = 14

[ShipMounting5]
side = 1
type = 2
model = 3076
software = 7174

[Defect]
Gun = 1.000000
ToMa = 1.000000
FArm = 1.000000
LArm = 1.000000
RArm = 1.000000
BArm = 1.000000
Tur1 = 1.000000
Tur2 = 1.000000

This will give you the plasma guns and smart software for the turrets.
Plus Flashshark3's for the torp's.

I've had great fun with this as you can just launch yourself into the
fray and the turrets take care of everything for you.
