Crusader Kings III News

What are the CK3 console commands and cheats? Crusader Kings 3 is a game of great complexity, strategy, and planning. You could spend hours establishing your realm, raising your armies, and increasing your income - or alternatively, when nobody's looking, you could give yourself a little boost to prestige, perform a sneaky stabbing on someone who's annoying you, or simply conjure up a whopping great army from nowhere.

If you don't feel like playing by the book and want to have a go at scribbling all over it instead, there are a wealth of console commands available to you that can set pretty much every modifier in the game to your chosen value. With these cheat codes you're free to nudge the stats in your favour, or use them as tools to customise your experience and play out whatever scenarios you have in mind for this grandest of strategy games.

In order to access them, you'll need to start CK3 in debug mode, after which you can launch the console window and enjoy your newfound power. We'll explain step-by-step how to get there, and then list all the Crusader Kings 3 console commands and cheat codes you'll need.

You wouldn't think this soon after Crusader Kings 3's general release that there would be much of a mod scene to speak about, but then, you'd be as wrong as a person can be without imploding in on themselves in a puff of logic.

Turns out people are not only keen to play Crusader Kings 3, they're keen to mod it to high-hell and back again before the month's out. At the time of writing the CK3 Steam Workshop area already lists over 500 mod entries, and that's only going to grow as time goes on.

We figured we might as take a brief look at what's already on offer and let you know what the most promising projects are right now. Expect this list to grow and change over time as the mod scene matures over time.

• Daddy Pika's Cheat Menu
• P* Total Warfare - Battle with an Army
