First off, these forums are great keep up the good work!
Credit for this potentially new cheat goes to the Home of the Praetorian Guards (http://www.megsinet.net/~helicon). Drop on by and check them out!
As far as i've seen they were the first to post it on their site so IMO they get credit for the discovery. On the other hand maybe it is an old cheat and i'm out of touch Will i get my 15 seconds of fame for the discovery of it's purpose? ...probably not as i'm sure someone has seen it out there before... sigh... Look forward to more great forums! Happy New Year to the Agers out there!!!
When i got to their cheat page i saw the "grantlinkspence" cheat with a "?"(cheat unknown) and was intrigued. I set up a test game with cheats "reveal map & no fog" on so i could see what was happening. On first entering "grantlinkspence" nothing special appeared to happen... until you start walking around. I soon found out it made what i thought were super-gazelles. As soon as the gazelles saw a villager within about 10 tiles they took off like they were on steriods. After looking around a bit more i discovered that it had made all the animals into KINGS. So the area had Elephant Kings, Lion Kings, Alligator Kings and Gazelle Kings. As I'm sure everyone knows the first three are deadly while the Gazelle Kings are impossible to catch unless you can corner them against the water.
Hmmmm.... this could be a fun one to use on a friend after you've hunted the area around your town out...
Anyone seen this cheat before or is it really a new one?
