Dark Avatar Cheats?

The cheats and method to enable them are the same as for DL, except the shortcut should point at DA (Darkavatar\GC2DarkAvatar.exe) rather than DL (GalCiv2.exe).

Cheats? Uhmm... one of thing I normally use in games where I got stuck... but in GC2 ... not for me... it'll ruin my game...

I'd rather surrender to the Snathi than to use a cheat to win the (sandbox) game...

I have said it before, I will say it again: cheats are for wimps and sore losers.

Cheats are not for wimps and sore losers but those tempted by power.

They do ruin all the fun and you will quickly stop playing after using them.

That's not true at all . Sometimes im not in the mood to lose a game so I might give myself a few money cheats in a game . I still let myself lose to the computer now and then but I don't have a lot of time to sit and play this game and it's a waste of my time to lose half way through because I made a bad financial choice early in the game . I guess I just don't have the hrs and hrs of time some of you people have . I still get great enjoyment out of the game even with cheats . Now in a multiplayer game against a human I am very against any kind of cheating . Another thing is that if I had not had cheats to get me through the game when I first started playing it with so little time and very little patience to play game after game losing to the computer I think I would have uninstalled after only a few games and certainly would not have bought DA this is not the easiest game to learn to play well .

I disagree. Sometimes, I play a game with cheats. I've been playing since DL came out, so you don't stop playing after using them.

Although, you can win in one turn if you use all of them in sinc...

To me cheats are a a great substitute for kicking the dog after a crappy day at work when one just feels a need to crush something like a bug...

odd, they don't seem to be working for me. I mainly use them to predesign great looking/performing ships.

These don't work for me. Where do I place the word cheat? The game loads with the following file: "C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\DALaunch cheat.exe"

See the page linked in the first reply above.

I don't like cheats at all, it gives you unfair advantages.   AI abilities were designed to be fair, so a cheat would ruin the balance of power.

cheats are pointless i mean come on ppl do you really need to cheat in this game. if you wanna start fast just choose one the special game things (like battle of the gods and dread lords on parade) and win through those.

Cheats?? there's cheats?? Here I was thinking all the variables for the game would be pretty much enough to give you a challengeing game and a winnable one at the same time but now your going to throw in cheats also?? Holy moley...9 races, what like 16 difficulty levels, 8 variables on the galaxy set-up, 20 something race abilities to play with....just with that alone i'm looking at probably another 30 years of paying time to get trhough and now you guys are going to throw in cheats too??? I'm getting old guys, I don't think I have enough time left to get through all these variations. I think I'll just stick to playing the regular game   

Hi!

Yes, I do. When I'm crunching numbers of that oh-so-much transparent game it's much faster to cheat half way through the tech tree or generating a dozen of ships or filling up a whole planet in one turn, than waiting for game mechanics to get there after one hour without actual playing.

"Cheats" are for modders who are trying to debug. Simple as.

"Cheats" are also for ppl who decide halfway thru the game that they wat to take on ALL the computer players (Obscene diff. level) at the same time. Sometimes even with the cheats I still lose but the 2 or so hours I spend losing is loads of fun!!
