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.
