system: PC game_title: Age of Pirates - Caribbean Tales This hack edits a critical game file. Back up your original or you get screwed. You will also need to have the folder options on Windows XP and Vista changed to allow you to edit the file extension.

Locate the file Characters_init.* in the directory \...\\Program Files\Playlogic\Age of Pirates - Caribbean Tales\PROGRAM\Characters\ and open it using the text editor Notepad.exe or similar program. Note that if you do not allow your Windows O/S to change the extension, you may not be able to hack this file appropriately.

In the characters_init.* file, locate the string ch.money = "268438777" along with some more values such as:

ch.skill.Leadership = "1";
ch.skill.Fencing = "1";
ch.skill.Gun = "1";
ch.skill.Sailing = "1";
ch.skill.Tactic = "2";
ch.skill.Accuracy = "1";
ch.skill.Cannons = "1";
ch.skill.Grappling = "1";
ch.skill.Repair = "1";
ch.skill.Defence = "1";
ch.skill.Commerce = "1";
ch.skill.Sneak = "1";
ch.skill.freeskill = 2;
ch.perks.freepoints = 1;

You can change those skill values to whatever you want and play with the file from there. When saving the file with Notepad, use the "save" not "save as" command and the file will be edited. Boot the game and have fun.
