Reminder - Keep Daily Backups!

When working on a strategy game with a kit as big as the Complete Kit - always keep a working daily backup! Save yourself the trouble of rolling-back changes and losing work.

What are developer hacks?

To help developers test their gameplay - we've included a few "cheat" features in the Unity editor. Their sole purpose is to help you experiment with battle controls and not worry about some elements of normal gameplay. These cheats include making objects immortal, indestructible, or stopping attacks.

For the 1000 unit hack, open the Map01 directly, activate the TransData object and launch the game. Assuming server connectivity is fine, it will download a random map and you can play.

The object holds all battle-related variables - number of units, buildings gold and mana based (for looting), sound options, etc. TransData is a duplicate of an indestructible object you bring from HomeTown with you, to pass variables back and forth between your level and the random battle map. Once the battle is finished, you don't go back to home town - just close the Unity Editor player.
