Epic War Age (EWA) - Adapted Mod Collection

Hello! I understand that the mod is not currently being developed, but perhaps someone knows how to help. I would be immensely grateful. In the wonderful "Beginning of the End" Campaign, a flaw has been discovered: the storyline for the Shadowmarked does not have the necessary high stats to defeat the final boss of the episode. Instead of the required parameters, it only adds +1 to the stats due to the mod. Therefore, it is impossible to defeat the boss. To solve the problem, I wanted to use cheats and simply complete the mission, but there is a catch: the console does not open at all, although, judging by the text files, all the lines for the console to work have already been written by the mod developers. Pressing the tilde key does not produce any result, and attempting to edit the text files results in the game not launching (even if everything is returned to its original state). Please tell me, is there a way to launch the console? It would be a pity to abandon the campaign halfway through; it is incredibly interesting and well-made.
