a while ago, i was looking around the KKnD2 folder, and i found a few editable settings...

open up the 'Options.cfg' file, inside, you'll find the options that are in the .exe and a few more.

UPGRADECOST equals the cost of upgrades at the highest upgrade of the research building (tech level 5) if you set it to 50 you should have no problem, any lower, and the cost will skyrocket uncontrolably.

UPGRADETIME is the time it takes to upgrade at the highest tech level, the lowest value is 1, 0 can cause crashes / upgrades just dont go anywhere.

FOGOFWAR lets you select the kind of display you have, shroud, fog, or fog+shroud
(this changes the default for Multiplayer maps, and for single player, i havn't tried to set the value to none, but im sure it would work.

all the other values are founn in the .exe

(say, you guys should put a tutorial on this somewhere on the site!)

if "none" fogofwar really works (what i can't believe) the AIs in singleplayer can see you too, besides you can disable it in multiplayer matches.

Erm... sorry to deflate the findings, but I had meddled with these settings right back when I got the game.

Lowering the upgrade costs makes the games move quicker and generally means more blood and earlier in the game.

Please add them to the cheats section as they are certainly worthy of placement there.

If anyone thinks of new content, finds some (with permission of the webmaster) or has ideas for new sections, please tell me!
