No console commands?

This makes me a little sad, one of my favorite things to do in Rome 1 and the like was messing around with the console commands. Sometimes I'd make myself ridiculously strong by giving myself money and building all my cities up to max instantly, other times I'd just hide out on an island and give another faction a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of money so I could see how things played out without me personally interacting with the world.

I've seen that you can use cheat engine to give yourself money and stuff, but are there cheats for stuff like giving yourself more food, completing structures and researching arts?

You could use some mods but the campaign is quite easy to manage except for fall of samurai if your planning to go republic.

In vanilla shogun 2 food is quite easy manage just don't build a ton of castle. For happiness just garrison some metuske and few cheap units. Income get all trade route, build market and inn. Don't spam military building to save more money and samurai unit. You could also auto-manage the tax income in the game.

Before you hit realm divide make sure you can sustain your army by your own, have enough agents to protect your army and navy.

Oh don't worry, I know all that and I've finished a domination campaign already, I have the basics down at least. But if I'm going to mess around, I want to be able to have every town I take be a citadel, or more likely just Sado (that's the one little island with the gold mine right? Might be remembering the name wrong) so I can watch the chaos unfold on the mainland as I gift different factions with tons of money
