Anyone find any program that works yet for gaining money in this game? CoSMOS does not look like it works - cannot seem to get the location to update anything within the game itself albeit getting the locations easily enough.

Just curious.....the game is way slanted....I am trying to figure out what other people are doing that makes it so easy for them....every game of mine is concluded within only a few days and usually my first or second battle....no matter what...I have not been able to get past my original toons by more than 2 (trying to get toons that have some sort of defense as it seems they die off so quickly constantly) - either I cannot afford more as I am trying to get them decent armour and weapons to offset the massive hits I take from things like werewolves or just the constant overwhelming odds by bandits.

I've also tried a few programs, to no avail though.

I am yet to find a reasonable way to play the game without becoming bankrupt or dead within, as you said the first few days. You cant really afford to have a big group without using all your funds, be it on armour/weps or on the daily costs.

I've successfully fought a few battles with the same group, but even some of the 'weak' battles are bloody tough often ending up in my group being massacred.

I've put some points into a trainer request, we'll see what happens, I'll update if I figure out a good play style.

Edit: I find it best to buy maybe one/2 decent toons (already kitted out), and a few cheap ones. Buy what decent armour and weapons you can to compliment their skills, and if you have 300+ left you should be ok and have enough time to get a few missions done...or raiding a few places.

I have used CoSMOS to edit money by searching using "Float" (as opposed to the default 4 Byte integers) and selling items in the shop. I am currently trying to search/modify experience by fighting battles with bandits. I'll update if I can get it to work.

Would love to know if you got CoSMOS to work. The game is very hard at first. I added points toward the trainer too. Tried CoSMOS, but could not find the right file.

Great job Fenrir!!!

I got the Float to work on money. I do not care about much else as I am trying to see if I can just survive with perhaps not worrying about the constant immediate balance of starve/pay/advent combo that always takes you to bad places

I found running the short caravan missions to be the way to go, at least early on. I am sitting on 6k gold with 12 guys. I just recruited junk recruits and leveled them up.

I also saved before leaving town each time too. It is currently just too random with the level of encounters right now.

Nice to see something is working to a certain extent.

I've managed to survive quite awhile now, I have about 3k and 12 kitted out guys with fairly decent skills.

Though it hasn't been easy. I've spent most battles dying and losing, so I figured I'd then re-load the auto-save prior to the fight, and have another crack, most times it turns out in my favour.

I've focused on clearing hideouts and such.

I put some more points into this. I got CoSMOS to work on the gold, but it would be nice to be able to use the trainer and tweak skills etc.
