Console Command Bible
This page is a working reference for the in-game console commands shipped with Fall of an Empire. It is aimed at testing campaigns, reproducing bugs, modding checks, and controlled screenshots.
Open the Unreal console in-game, enter the command, and press Enter. You can also run:
Text
Strategy.Help
That prints the built-in help list for the current build.
IDs and debug mode
Most targeted commands use short numeric debug IDs. These are the numbers shown as #12, #47, and so on.
Text
Strategy.Debug
Strategy.Debug toggles debug mode. When it is on, extra IDs appear in character tooltips, sidebars, settlement glances, army glances, faction panels, and similar debug rows.
