Single player cheat codes or mods?

[Wildcat]

Ok, here's what I've done (and why I posted):

-Read through the manual, no cheat codes listed
-Searched the forums, no cheat codes listed
-Searched the net and several fav cheat sites, nothing listed for Dominions 2
-Tried in-game tools and menu options, couldn't find anything that seemed relevant
-Read the mapedit.pdf and modding.pdf documents provided

Now, mind you, I admit the modding.pdf document provides sufficient information to painfully (for anyone seeking a relatively quick and direct method vs. having to spend time creating something) puzzle out how to set an initially changed starting condition.

However, I'm asking about cheat codes, mods already made, or some fairly easy to follow directions that allow someone to quickly and easily change things during a game.

Most games have some special key sequence, console, or unique cheat enabling approach via config or ini files to allow the use of cheats that add gold, increase skill points, or what have you. I'm hoping Dominions 2 has something like that built in as well.

If I really wanted to sit down and treat this like a modder and craft something myself, I would. I really don't want to do that though. What I'd really like is to just leisurely play Dom2 as I have been and add cheat codes or a pre-made mod that does the same thing, for all intents and purposes, to my time spent playing.

So, if anyone has cheat codes, a mod that enables the equivalent, or easy instructions on how to accomplish basic single player cheating results such as: adding gold, modifying pretender god attributes, modifying unit stats, etc. while playing that'd be great.

Btw, I'm familiar with hex editing and will go that route if necessary, but wanted to check on codes or existing mods first to save time and make things simple.
