All Console Commands and Cheat Codes in Age of Wonders 4
To open the console command box, use this button combination: Ctrl + Alt + C. This will allow you to enter the Single Player World Map Cheat Codes.
| Command | Effect |
| cruijff | Allow for unlimited movement within the game. This is a great cheat, so you can effectively move anywhere on the map. |
| allheroes | Adds every hero in the recruitment pool. Heroes are specific within a map, so having this code allows you to recruit any hero regardless of the map you're playing. |
| barentz | Gain an entire map vision. If you're familiar with the Warcraft 3 "iseedeadpeople" cheat, it provides the same effect in Age of Wonders 4. |
| coehoorn | Breach walls of the selected city. This command allows you to instantly breach fortified city walls, which is one of my favorite cheats to use since it lessens the strategizing needed to siege a city. |
| demonen | Decreases alignment by 20. You should use this if you want to make an enemy out of a certain empire. |
| dokterwie | Increase your turn counter by 1. This cheat allows you to basically have infinite actions, as long as you keep typing it before ending your turn. |
| eendracht | Increases Build the Beacons of Unity counter for Expansion Victory |
| eenheid | Grants all Occupy Provinces Objective for Expansion Victory |
| engelen | Increases alignment by 20. Allows you to increase your alignment with a certain kingdom, making them your allies in the long run. |
|
| |
| forge | Forge a random item. Not necessarily the best cheat in the game, but if you want to experiment on some random builds for your heroes, then this is a great way of acquiring items. |
| forgeall | Forge a random item for all item types. This is similar to forge, however, you get one item per item type. |
| forgeallchannels | Forge a random item for all item types in each damage channel |
| freepop | Add +1 population to your selected city |
| gainforgeresources | Gain 100,000 gold, mana, and also binding essence. This is an essential cheat to gain free resources, helping you expand your empire and strengthen your army. |
| genhero | Adds a random off-map hero |
| gencrypthero | Adds a random hero in the crypt |
| genprisonhero | Adds a random hero in the prison |
| hauer | Level up all units, including heroes, in your selected army. This code is a time saver and allows you to instantly be ahead of other empires in terms of army strength. |
| hein | Instant victory. This is a fun cheat to use from time to time, and I use it whenever I'm about to lose a casual game, making it less stressful in the long run. I recommend you play Age of Wonders 4 in whatever way you prefer, as long as you're having fun. |
