Friends,
Some quick questions:

1. How does one pull up the console input window?

2. What are the codes for EU4, and what do these codes do?

3. Can you access the console window in the demo?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forums !

The console is deactivated for the demo, and we (those of us who do not have beta access) don't know what they will be. Fear not, however, as I am quite certain that you will quickly find a full list of cheats on the forums once the game comes out.

I'm playing the Mac-version, but I'm guessing it's the same on windows.

Shift+$ to open the console

Type any of the following to get whatever's after the "=":

help = gives you a list of commands that can be typed into the console

cash = 5000 ducats
stability = +3 stability
prestige = more prestige (can't remember exactly how much, but more at least )
manpower = 50.000 manpower

That's really all I've worked out so far.

Kudos to maximuis and insanelyapple for their contributions!

I like to play (at first) without cheats to see how the game is really designed to be played.

Eventually however, my favorite play-throughs all use mods and cheats to advance an evolving "narrative" that I have in mind as I go through the game. I look forward to seeing a well developed cheat list in the coming weeks for exactly that reason.

Some other very useful ones kept from EU3 is the tag feature, and the annex feature. In the console, type "tag [Insert country ID here]" to change the country you are playing as. You can also type "annex [Insert country ID in FULL CAPS here]" to immediately annex the country. I have tested it and you may have to repeat the annex command twice to get the desired effect. The country ID is a 3 letter version of the country name. So England is ENG, Castille is CAS, Ottomans is TUR, etc. If you can't find out the ID of the country you want to swap to or annex, you have to go into your EU4 folder (in steam), go to common, then history, then countries, and it gives you a list of notepad files, titled with the country ID, and then the country name. Hope this helps, and please don't get addicted to cheating like I have.
