Please note that if you use cheats during the game and win, your progress in Pantheon Mode will not be counted. This means that you will not be able to obtain benefits that may be available for achieving certain goals in this mode.
How to turn on the console
If the game is launched via Steam , then follow these steps:
-
In the list of games, select Age of Wonders 4, right-click and open properties;
-
In the General section, in the Launch Options column, enter “-debug_mode” without quotes;
-
Launch the game.
If the game was purchased from the Epic Games Store , the order is as follows:
-
Open the pop-up menu by clicking on your avatar or nickname located in the upper right corner of the launcher;
-
Open the “Settings” section and scroll down to the “Manage games” section ;
-
Select the desired game and check the box next to “Additional command line parameters” .
To open the developer console in the game, you need to follow a few simple steps. First, launch the game and select the save. Then press the key combination Ctrl+Alt+C or Ctrl+Shift+C , after which the console will appear. Enter the necessary commands and press “Enter” to execute them in the game.
How to use developer commands
If you do everything correctly, a special window will appear in the center of the screen, where you can enter various combinations to activate cheat codes. After you have selected the desired cheat code, enter it in the window and press “Enter” to apply it in the game.
It is important to know that entering cheat codes in the game is not possible if there is more than one player in the lobby. This means that cheats can only be used in a single-player game.
