Victoria II is one of the best strategy games and that is apparent when you see its popularity even a decade after its release. That’s not to say the game is perfect. There are some features that complicate the gameplay unnecessarily and then some features you wish you could have but can’t find. The game definitely needs some spicing up. Well, command console does just that. You can customize the game however you want and even unlock some hidden features. Not to mention it smooths out a lot of bugs too. You can spawn items, add prestige to your nation, start a revolt, claim the territories of other countries and much more. In addition to that, there are various country tags, province ids and event ids that you can use and tailor your experience exactly how you like it.
You can access the console by pressing the ~key or `key(grave) on your keyboard. Once the console opens, you can type in your desired command and press ENTER to execute it. If the console does not open or you have a non-US keyboard layout, you can try the following key combinations one by one.
- SHIFT + 2
- SHIFT + 3
- ALT + 2 + 1
