To use the cheats below, open up the chat log by pressing F12, and then type in the code.
The random events that happen can be manually triggered by typing in “event
????”, where the question marks are a number. For example, “event 1011”
is when a scientist defects to your country.

Note: Some of the events do bad things to your nation, such as worker strikes.

Some examples:



event 1017: Outlaw Fascism (Fascism+15,Communism-5/Fascism-5,Communism+15)

event 1016:	Outlaw Communism (Fascism+15,Communism-5/Fascism-5,Communism+15)

event 1015: Rogue Politician (dissent up/down + minister dies)

event 1014: Rogue Politician (dissent up/down)

event 1013: Private initiative (IC up)

event 1012: Breakthrough in research. (1 technology is discovered)

event 1011: Leading Scientist defects to your country (steal technology)

event 1010: Industry sabotaged (IC -1)

event 1009:	Artist records epic song (dissent -3)

event 1008:	Major worker strike (IC down)

event 1007:	War Refugees (manpower +30)

event 1006:	Private sector nationalized (IC up)

event 1005:	Military parade (supplies -100, dissent -5)

This will add hours of fun to the game:  

1. Begin a game. 

2. Save the game and remember the name. 

3. Exit HOI

4. Find the Hearts of Iron directory under scenarios/save games. 

5.  Find the name of the game with the .eug extension - open it in wordpad. 

6. If playing: 

    USA - search for 'tag = USA'

    Germany - search for 'tag = GER'

    France - search for 'tag = FRA'

    England - search for 'tag = ENG'

7. Either scroll down, or then search for

'research_cost_app'

8. The next 4 lines will decide how long research takes.  1.000 is normal - lowering it
to 0.250 will make it really fast.  Do not go lower than this, as an error may occur as
technologies are discovered. 

Note: looking through this section and making minor tweaks can change the entire
landscape of the game. Also, scrolling down further, you will find generals. Decreasing
the Rank = number will promote them - a zero (0) is Field Marshall/Grand Admiral etc.
Increasing the skill will make them better. Try not to go too high, as I do not know the
limit of the game's logic algorithms. If you make any mistakes simply go back to step
one. This does nothing to change the game itself, only your saved game.

Playing as for example Germany (Nazi side) you can change the side by: 1. Save the game. 

2. Open the default scenario, like "Blitzkrieg" by for example France. 

3. Then, playing "Blitzkrieg" load your saved game. You can delete the whole army if you
want to. 

4. Save the game. 

5. Load a default scenario, like "Blitzkrieg" by Germany. 

6. Load your saved game and France has no army and you are Germany!
