The code for cheat is
enter it in the console (open with ^).
and btw, capital letters are annoying...
Or you could change the lion's speed or your own speed, and moreless everything... Don't forget to save the file first of course...
Something to remember... NEVER use more then 9 digits in a row... cause at 1 billion is where the stranded 2 codeing locks down... so if you put your health a 5 billion... then you'll either have no health at all... or something else but it will definatly be bugged...
But thats the way I started modding... I couldn't finish the 3rd map so, I changed my health to 2 thousand.
And look at me now!

That's not a problem with the game, it's fundamental to computer programming and memory management. In computer programming, an integer value is usually saved as a 32-bit signed integer (signed meaning it can be + or -).
So quick maths:
Signed 32 Bit Integer Range =
4 byte (/2 for signing) =
32 bit (/2 for signing) =
2^32 (/2 for signing) =
4294967296 (/2 for signing) =
-2147483648 to +2147483648
Meaning the upper and lower limit of a storable number in this variable are 10-digit numbers, but are less than the 9,999,999,999 you'd expect.
Something to note is assigning an integer to this variable has a wrap around effect, meaning, if you assign +3147483648 to the variable, it will pass it's upper limit and wrap around to -1147483648.
As Lionhearted pointed out to begin modding is very simple even for people who've never tried it. Just back up your system folder untouched somewhere, and tinker around it
I knew nothing when I began and only messed with unit info at first, and building/combo requirements because some are irrational to me, but now I have been able to implement many new items (most based on existing items so I can use the same models) many new combinations, new materials and so on.
These, to me, make the game interesting, not simply cheating to make myself invincible, super fast, super strong or give myself tons of things.
And if I can learn to mod in small amounts, ANYone can
