Cheats/Console commands

[ShadowFox]

For anyone that wants to cheat or manipulate their experience without the use of mods here are instructions for some of the in game console commands. I got these from fearless revolution in a chat about cheat engine tables originally posted by "serahah" I kept all their original information included for the sake of giving credit where it is due. Any questions I will do my best to answer

OPENING THE CONSOLE
On a german keyboard layout i have to press Ö to open the console.
The ~ key is not working for me.


SOME commands
provided above haven't worked for me or i might have used them incorrectly.

The one for vassalizing (sub x + selected realm) didn't work, though i vassalised some other country by accident. Couldn't replicate how.

Changing class of a character only worked when i entered the class names
(Marshal-Merchant-Diplomat-Cleric-Spy) with a capital letter at the front.

Try to digit "ò" it works for me but you have to add --ForceEnableConsole parameter

if you use steam go to KoH2, proprieties and add it to the bottom space

I feel so stupid right now.

Dose anyone know how this command works (apf - Add a province feature to selected realm. Eg apf Raisins - add raising to selected city/province) ?

[Iskar]

Raisins aren't a province feature, they are a resource. Viticulture (or whatever the technical name for the "vinyard" building feature is) would be.

edit: Tested it after reading your post and apparently the cheat doesn'twork or not as one would expect. I managed to get "Vines" show up in he province window, but the new ressource didn't show up in the building window, so i couldn't build the according structure. even after restarting the whole game.

---
You have to write it as in provincefeatures.def, including any capital letters.
As mentioned by Iskar above, raisins are not province featres, but goods. So that is a mistake in the original post at the top. For "Vines" i got horses as well in the selected privince when writing the first letter in lower case.

You seem to have a better understanding of how these work, would you be interested in making a post or guide for using the console commands that is a little clearer for people?

As you can see in my edited post i'm sadly apparently no magician regarding this case.
I'm just guessing and test things. Not sure if that implies of having a better understanding, but thanks for the cookies.

After "Vines" not really doing it, i added "Vineyard" and while that made it show up in the build window and thus possible to buld the "Viticulture" structure, the vineyard didn't show up in the province on the map and while i could build the structure, the ressources weren't added aftwards. Apparently for missing on the map. *headscratching*
Out of ideas right now.

I rewrote the posts at the top for my personal use and testing them.
I already thought about posting my version, and i think i will at some point, but not my current one, as its still a bit of a mess.

[Iskar]

I am talking out of pure speculation here, but you probably need to add a corresponding minor settlement on the map where the income of the feature can be realised, i.e. you need a province feature "Vines" and a minor settlement "Vinyard" in combination. That of course means the province has to have a free settlement slot, i.e. not all minor settlements already filled. (You can recognise free settlement slots on the map by the tiny houses sitting on road crossings or at the end of roads.)

ca (int) - change crown authority

there is a guide in guides where people have been posting cheats. list is a bit messy but you can find most of it there i think
