HoI4 Console Commands

[KrakowPeach]

In the WWW yesterday they briefly touched the powers of the console in terms of cheating. If I didn't mishear they said you can not add equipment(and I guess industrial capacity?) by console. This was a bit disappointing to me.

As heretical as some people might find it, I occasional like to cheat a smaller nation more power and see just how far I can take it. What if scenarios of Sweden with twice the amount of industrial capacity and a corps of tank devisions and such.

Has anyone (or any devs) got more information on how powerful the console will be?

I am no expert in this, but the savegame file are your source for adding more equipment i think. In this file is says where every division is located and so on. I think, and i underline think, that equipment may be here as well.

I don't think we've seen anything official on console commands (although the quick-eyed would have spotted a few during the WWWs/video DDs, although mainly to do with changing visual settings/fog of war and what-have-you). In terms of kicking off Sweden with increased factories and the like, if it's not possible through the console, you could still create a 'Super Sweden' mod (changing the settings files), I would be very, very surprised if you couldn't achieve what you suggest in your post that way .

I think that instant research will be in, so will instant construction(of at least factories, I don't see how they could do it with equipment though since it is already added daily, maybe with ships though). Adding manpower, nukes and political power will also be available. I doubt that resources will be in because they are bound to the different provinces, if anything they will be in by some "add_resource to x" province. Removing fog of war is most certainly also in the list of commands. And for all the other "cheats" there will most probably be mods or you could create cheat events to add equipment and probably to increase resource in a province. But yes, editing the save files of paradox games is ridiculously easy.

You could always just make some national focuses with notepad that gives you additional stuff like alot of factories etc if you really wanted. Whats not in the game via console commands can be done by national focues i guess.
