Accessing the Developer Console or Editing Money and Research Point

[Trol Baba]

I really liked the game and want to explore the game. To fully experience the mechanics in the demo, I want to access the developer console and create a sandbox experience in the tutorial. How do I access the developer console or edit research score and money?

I would like to see this too. Purchased game but waiting to play it until i have access to make changes or adjustments.

Thanks for your consideration

You can do this with cheat engine

I agree with this, similar to my post about campaign customization.

Easily doable with Cheat Engine, just attach it to the right process.

Changes in ce do not stay on surface level. once the changes are made when you go back in game it reverts. There is some online check/correction that nullifies changes in ce.

So far cheat engine just doesnt work on research points, the only thing I've tried doing with it, been at it for over an hour now.

Best I could do was add more points to the point value in the tech menu, but as soon as you exit back to the campaign screen, whether you tried to spend the points or not, it simply does not give you the techs, and reverts your points to whatever the value on the campaign map says you had.

What this tells me is that there are multiple values relating to tech points which is really concerning in context of thinking about how much bloat and spaghetti code there is. There is really no reason there should be more than one code value determining how many tech points you have.

Just tried changing gold, also doesnt work. It will look like it does, but the moment you spend any of your new gold, it will just revert back down to what it would have been had you not added any at all.

This almost seems intentional at this point....but why? There literally isnt even a multiplayer campaign option? Honestly about to refund and just check back in every so often until they add in a developer console for singleplayer. I have watched whole play throughs already, I dont want to cheese the game to win, I already know how to do that by just watching others, what I want is to:

-Increase National Will by several hundred for my enemy.
-Get access to more tech earlier in the game.
-Increase supply for more defenses/larger battles.

Essentially, I'm here for the spectacle of a long and bloody war, because thats whats fun to me, I dont really care about winning or losing, but I'm starting to see that the dev's have designed the game to be anti-player choice, and its really starting to frustrate me.
