For me, cheating in a Paradox game is ModdingLite. Since I really like messing around with crazy scenarios in these games, I hope we are getting a slew of them for HOI4!

What cheats do you all want in the game?

Personally, I want cheats that let nations advance immediately down the National Focus and Tech trees. This way I can have super nations duking it out from the get go. An alien invasion (I would love if they were the Blorg) cheat would be neat too.

I would love if they brought back the Alien invasion from Hoi2, or even made it into a sunset invasion type dlc where they invade and take over maybe South America. It'd be sick to play as America, who would be called into war since they guarantee the entire Western hemisphere, and eventually pushing them back through mexico and holding them at the Panama canal. The game would start with a super advanced South America, built like a fortress on every coast, and you must try to rally all the nations to put aside their disputes and help on the march south. Most nations will help, but some may try to join the aliens, or purchase super advanced tech from them(although the aliens ultimate goal is world domination).

As a "Modding Lite" kind of cheat, i liked the "tech 9874"-kind of cheat from Hoi2 - not really used in hoi3, as they had the faboulus CGM for all those needs. Also the "debug yesman" so that I could join the faction I wanted. (Never Really worked in Hoi3 for entering factions as I remembering it, and I have still never managed to join Communism as say, Communist China or some other minor...)

Already know what I'll do, by editing files (mostly national spirit) I'll have

x2 Civilan and Military Factory Output
Effectively unlimited manpower
Twice as much supply throughput
Perfect Unity
100% use of captured industry with no partisan activity.

Then I'll play as some tiny nation and watch if the world can stop me before I snowball into unstoppable monster.

A cheat that make everybody declare war on everybody could be fun.

add {Resource Name} = Fills up your stockpile of the resource.

Would be great in the beginning for not having to worry about trade.

There is no stockpile in this game. There is only supply and demand - the reason they explained for this IIRC is to prevent stockpiling of resources in obscene amounts. I could be wrong and I'm about to head to bed otherwise I'd try and source that, but yeah. No stockpile. ):

I don't know if this a cheat or more of a mod however I would love the ability of the AI to 'hire' mercenaries, foreign legions, freedom fighters etc.
If the AI feels an independent nation is at risk of being over run then that nation can purchase/hire/rent others to fight on their country's behalf.
