Cheats

[Jiglett]

Hit ctrl-F to bring up the cheat panel.

Do you want to see the entire world map?
Type toggle_explored and press Enter.

Do you want to remove fog on the world map?
Type toggle_fog and press Enter.

Do you want to yield control of your empire to the AI for a few turns, or a few hundred turns?
Type toggle_ai_control into the cheat panel and press Enter. Press any key or click any mouse button while on the world map to retake control.


Type all 3 cheats above and you can watch the AI deities battle with each other. This can also give you an idea of what the AI is doing when you aren't around!

Can you provide any additional command line cheats? I'd like to play around with modding.

Once again DE turns out to have useful features I'd never known about. As Mystarch says, excellent for testing mods.

I believe the only other cheat of interest is toggle_show_all_cities , which allows you to see all enemy cities in the Cities list.

You can also type the name of a creature in the list to find it on the world map.

having watched and enjoyed some of those AI only games you speak of i have the following question:

i've enabled the toggle_ai cheat but now the game just pauses with every new turn with the its turn x message. when you said let the game run for hundreds of turns i imagined just having it continue to play until i press a key / click into the game screen. is this not how it works? do i have to run a makro that will close the new turn message?

having just bought the game i'd like to see what the AI does so i can learn.

Do they affect achievements?

[nex]

yes when i typed one in it said achievements disabled for this savegame. reload a older save to re-enable achievements.

so i guess every save you use cheats becomes "tainted" from then on.

We need a cheat to level up units for the sake of testing mods and level-up abilities.
