Chapter 7 - Cheats

Use caution when applying these Civilization IV cheats. Activating the codes requires you to alter the configuration file. Backup your files before making any changes!

In the directory where Civilization IV was installed there’s a shortcut "_CivConfig" to the configuration file named CivilizationIV.ini. Find the line "; Move along" in this file and change the following line "CheatCode = 0" to "CheatCode = chipotle". During gameplay press the "~" key to open the console and type "game.toggledebugmode" to enter Civilization IV’s debug mode.

With debug mode active, press SHIFT-T to reveal a menu to make gold or technology cheat adjustments. Press CTRL+SHIFT then left click on a terrain tile so you can insert a unit or city at your discretion. With a city selected press SHIFT and + to add population or CTRL and + to add culture. Simply press + with the city selected to finish production. With a unit selected, press CTRL and + to add experience to that unit. Press SHIFT and ] to increase the unit’s strength.
