The Settlers: Heritage of Kings Cheats (PC)

All the map codes

The Settlers: Heritage of Kings (also known unofficially as The Settlers V) is the fifth installment of The Settlers series of real time strategy games on the PC. Heritage of Kings breaks off from the typical pattern that Settlers games have followed since they began, while the concept of the game remains, in essence, the same, a lot of the gameplay features have changed from those of The Settlers IV, now slightly resembling many of the gameplay aspects displayed in the game Cossacks: European Wars. Despite this, Heritage of Kings still maintains many of the characteristics of classic Settlers gameplay.The objective of the game remains the same as always, create a thriving settlement, while amassing an army and defeating rival nations. There are now, however, an extraordinarily large amount of features that can be used in-game. Settlers fans will no doubt recall the scarcity of resources in the previous games, in Heritage of Kings, the introduction of Refineries for the various resources was a welcome addition, as it enabled players to construct more buildings in less time. Another welcome change, was the addition of Upgrading Buildings, allowing different new things to be done in the game.

EXTENSION GAME RULES

Except where noted below, the Cities and Knights 5-6 Player Extension (C&K 5-6) uses all of the rules found in Cities & Knights. These additional rules include: rules for constructing the larger board; rules for the Special Building Phase; and rules about activating knights.

Assembling the Board

First, set up the frame, using all of the pieces from the Settlers basic set and Settlers 5-6exactly as outlined in Settlers 5-6. This will enlarge the Settlers frame so that it will hold a larger island. Second, place the Barbarian Tile with the movement squares for the Barbarian Ship next to the frame. Then, construct the island following all of the rules in Settlers 5-6. Third, distribute a set of pieces to each player, as described in Cities & Knights. Place the Robber in either desert, and place the barbarian raiding ship in the Barbarian Ship space on the barbarian tile.
The Special Building Phase
Each player turn in C&K 5-6 has an additional phase called the Special Building Phase. This phase is explained in full detail in the Settlers 5-6 rules. Briefly, the turn order now changes to the following sequence: You must roll all 3 dice. Resolve the event die results. Progress cards may be drawn if allowed by the white event die. All players produce the resources indicated by the red die and the yellow die.
You may do any or all of the following in any order: Trade resources and/or commodities with other players or with the bank. Build roads, settlements, cities, knights, city walls, and/or city improvements. Activate, promote and/or perform actions with your knights. Play any number of progress cards. Once you have finished your turn, pass the dice to the next player. The other players (in clockwise order from you) may build in the Special Building Phase. During the Special Building Phase, each other player who did not just finish taking his turn may build anything for which he has resources available in his hand. Other players may not, however: perform any actions with their knights; play any progress cards; or make any trades with other players and/or with the bank. Other players may: build roads, settlements, cities, knights, city walls, and/or city improvements; and activate and/or promote knights.
Note: The rules for Settlers 5-6 indicate that a player may purchase Development Cards during the Special Building Phase. Since the Development Cards are not used when playing Cities & Knights, this option is no longer available.

Activation of Knights

Normally, a knight may not perform any actions on the turn that it has been activated. However, a knight can be activated during the Special Building Phase. Since the Special Building Phase is the last part of a turn, the knight could then perform an action during its controlling players next turn.
Example: Annas turn ends, and there is a Special Building Phase. During this phase, each player, going clock-wise from Anna around the table, may build with the resources and commodities in his hand. Still during this phase, Leif spends a Grain resource to activate 1 of his knights. After the Special Building Phase, it becomes Leifs turn. After he rolls the dice and resolves the events and production for his turn, Leif may take an action with the knight that he activated during Annas turn. 3
