The following cheats for Independence War 2 require you to modify two game files, thus it is wise to make backup copies before proceeding. The "flux.ini" file can be found in the game folder. Open it with any text editor, like Notepad for instance, and type in these change: "developer_mode = 0" entry turns into "developer_mode = 1". Now save the file, and then enter the "Configs" folder. Use the same text editor to edit the "default.ini" file. It has a cheat key section towards the end. That's where you must copy/paste the following lines in order to activate
