More Time in My Kingdom for the Princess

 

If you are playing My Kingdom for the Princess and find the game too frantic because of the time limits, you can easily mod the game to give yourself more time.

Find the directory "levels", usually in C:\Program Files\My Kingdom for the Princess\data\levels, and locate the file for the level you are stuck in. For instance, level 4-2 would be file level_04_02.lvl.

The files are simply text files. Open the LVL file in Notepad and find the lines starting with leveltime and deadline. The number that follows is the number of seconds allotted for net level time and for night time.

Because the score is calculated based on time remaining, an excessive setting on leveltime will not only give you an insane score, but it can crash the game when it loads. If you acquire a too-large score, you may find the game won't get past the title screen. If so, simply delete the hiscores.dat file. The location of this file can vary depending on your operating system but probably under the directory "Peace Craft" somewhere in "My Documents". If you can't find it, do a search for the file name.

Heroes of Might and Magic V - Rebuilding Your Hero

In Heroes of Might and Magic V, you can re-build your character without starting over, by using the Console:

1. Use the command @TakeAwayHeroExp("Hero Name", exp), where exp is the points to take away. Take away enough experience and you will lose levels and 'random' skills that are not prerequisites for other skills you also possess.
2. Use the command @ChangeHeroStat("Hero Name", exp), where exp is the points to add. Add back the points you took away and you level up again, giving you the opportunity to choose your skills once more.

Note that each time a game is Restarted, a new random seed is chosen. This random seed is fixed for the length of a game restart, so you always get the same sequence of skill choices (or skill losses) unless you Restart the game to get a new random seed.

Heroes of Might and Magic V - Adding Skills Cheat

 If you are using the Age of Heroes Console and Cheat Codes, you will find that the codes for adding skills may not work properly for Tribes of the East.

• You cannot add a skill for which you do not have the base skill. For example, you can have Dwarven Luck without being a Runemage, but you must have the basic skill Luck.
  
• If you find you cannot add skills in succession, close the console first. Open the character screen to verify a skill has been added before trying to add another. Skills are added in reverse order -- that is, the last skill entered is the first to be added to your character.
  
• You cannot use the code name. You must use the skill number. The skill numbers are listed below:

Heroes of Might and Magic V - Play all Heroes Campaigns in Tribes of the East

With the mod and files from this page, you can play the original Heroes V and Hammers of Fate expansion campaigns missions using only the standalone Tribes of the East game.

Be warned that there are engine changes, and some things will look different or be broken. For example, at the time this blog post was written, Hammers of Fate Campaign 3 Mission 1 (Ylaya's Quest, The Spy) had the Seer's Hut quest broken. In the original Hammers of Fate, you can get a +14 Attack / +6 Defense bonus for completing the Seer's Hut quest at Heroic difficulty. With the mod, that quest is not properly initialized and you do not receive the bonus.

Most mods for Heroes V or Hammers of Fate will still work. Simply rename the extension to "h5u" and instead of the "Maps" directory, put them in the "UserMODs" directory.
