Cheat Code Warning

The cheats listed don't seem to work with patch 1.3. If they do, they only work in the skirmish games, and you have to check the "allow cheats" box in the options.

Cheat: Unlock All Levels

Note: This cheat requires editing a file, so please make sure to back it up.

First, open up your Dawn of WarProfiles folder and choose which profile you are going to use. Now go to W40ksingleplayercampaignstate1 and open up "campaignstate.lua" with some type of text editor (I suggest notepad or wordpad). Now you need to change two lines. The "maxmission = #" and the "scenario = #". Just change the # signs to whatever mission you want (the maximum is 11 and both # signs have to be the same). Now have fun playing.

Glitch - Unit Limit Circumvention

Unverified. This is only usable in the multiplayer maps (in fake multiplayer). While you are playing any race you will eventualy reach you population cap. Well the Ork's have found a way around that. Once you reach your pop-cap for the Ork's simply save the game. But heres the Twist you save the game under Orkz. You then exit the game and load the game you just saved. Your Pop-cap will now be at zero, but you will still have all of the units that you saved with!
