45 cheats in 4 groups. 5 free, 40 with a premium plan.

Money/Resources

  • One of four free resource cheats, covering wood, hops, stone and gold, the chain links a map usually breaks on in the first ten minutes.
  • Set Hopfree
  • Set Stonefree
  • Gold buys what the production chains can't cover fast enough on their own.
  • Sub Goldfree
  • Iron feeds the weapons chain specifically, one link past the four free resource cheats.
  • Set Pitch
  • Set Wheat
  • Set Bread
  • Set Cheese
  • Set Meat
  • Set Fruits
  • Beer is the last link in the hops-to-ale-to-popularity chain. This sets it directly instead of running the brewery.
  • Set Flour
  • Set Bows
  • Set Crossbows
  • Set Spears
  • Set Pikes
  • Set Maces
  • Set Swords
  • Set Leather Armor
  • Set Iron Armor

Miscellaneous

  • Population leaves when a supply chain breaks, and happiness is the number that actually tracks it. This sets it to full.
  • Min 60% happiness
  • Max 60% happiness
  • Max 30% happiness
  • Always Full Power Bar (extreme trails)
  • Opens the game's random event screen on demand, instead of waiting for one to trigger naturally.

Units

  • The trainer carries a full set of these switches per player slot, up to eight, for skirmish and multiplayer matches against AI or friends.

Timer

  • New peasants normally arrive on their own timer as housing and food allow. This speeds that up.

Why cheats make sense in Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition

Your castle runs on chains: wheat to flour to bread, iron to weapons, hops to ale to popularity. Break one link and the population leaves, and a castle without people cannot man its walls. The five free cheats cover wood, hops, stone and gold, which is where a map usually goes wrong in the first ten minutes.

  • Twenty-two resource switches

    Wood, stone, iron, pitch, wheat, bread, cheese, meat, fruit, beer and flour each get their own setter. The game models a medieval supply chain, and every link can starve the next one.
  • Sixteen weapon stocks

    Bows, crossbows, spears, pikes, maces, swords and the rest. An army is assembled from an armoury you fill by hand, which means the siege you want is several production cycles away.
  • Popularity runs on food and ale

    Hops is one of the five free cheats. Ale keeps the population happy, happiness keeps them in the castle, and an empty castle loses whether the walls hold or not.
