Stronghold Money Maximizer v1.1
by Raistlin
Stronghold is a cool game, but in the beginning, you cannot have very much
money. Your total Gold available is determined by your rank and the number
of vaults you have. This money maximizer would help you to get more money,
but the money resets to your maximum when a structure is complete. A good
way of using this program would be to [Pause] the game, then save it.
Maximize your money, the go back into the game and upgrade/build your
structures. Notice while in [Pause], your characters do not move toward their
destination squares, and the building stops. After you've done your thing,
you can resume game.
You can do this as many times as you like, but do build many vaults when
you have the money. Later on, when you have more vaults, you won't need to
use this maximizer so much.
The command line is as follows:
STRCHT save.[???] [Name]
[???] is the extension of your saved game
[Name] is the name of the Baron/Baroness whose money you wish
to adjust. You must enter at least the first 3 characters
of the name. Be sure you use UNIQUE names. The name is also
case sensitive, so type EXACTLY as you did in the game.
Technical Information
---------------------
Since the saved game keeps growing bigger, the location of the money for
each Baron changes accordingly. This maximizer will do a search (slow) for
the matching characters, up to a point. Originally, I made it to handle
saved games to a certain size, but now it should be able to handle saved
games of any size. Of course the larger the saved game, the longer it is
going to take to search (in 1024-byte chunks - easier to allocate memory
for than, say 64K chunks). Enjoy.
Because the program reads in 1K chunks, sometimes it will not find
your particular Baron/Baroness. One chunk might have read the first few
characters of the name and missed the rest. And the next chunk contains the
rest, but not the whole. The program will abort with ERRORLEVEL 3 if this
happens. The best thing to do is probably to occupy more land or build more
structures to grow your saved game enough so next time, STRCHT will be able to
find your Baron.
