New cheats
Here are a couple of cheats implemented for v4.944:
[deep_pockets] -> refills ammo to full at every game frame; effectively, granting infinite ammo.
[init_player "UnitId"] -> initializes the player to a different unit. Mostly meant for modding but probably have a few different
uses too. For example, playing as a group of Goblins.
[init_target "UnitId"] -> same as previous, but initializes the unit the cursor is pointing at instead of being on the player. For example, converting one of your followers to a Goblin.

Thats how to use cheat
First, you must enable the in-game commands console under options (press ESC):
Then, when you press the ` key (located beneath ESC key, above TAB, and next to #1 in US-layout keyboards. You should see the console popping up:
Type something and press enter, you will probably get a “unknown input” message at lower right of the screen.
If you want to close the console, press ` key or ESC key.
Clear the console via enter, and you are now ready for the first command:
Type in [list_item_ids] without the []s (cant use “ “s because some commands use them) and press enter. If you did everything right, you should see this:
This isn’t a cheat by itself, but it is useful to modders or if you need to know the item uids for the actual cheats.
Similarly, there is [list_unit_ids] that list all unit uids instead of item uids.
Now, to use the actual cheats, you must first enable the cheat via a passcode. This code may change from version to version but for v4.94, it is simply [enable_cheats]. Type this in and press enter.
You should see “Cheats Enabled” on the lower right if you did everything correctly.
Here are the first group of cheats:
[give_item “ITEM_ID” AMT]
ITEM_ID is a item uid that must be enclosed in “ ”s. AMT is how many of that item to give.
For example, if you want a futa potion. First, you need to know what the uid for futa potion is. You can look it up via [list_item_ids]:
Then, you type in console [give_item “futa_potion”]. Notice the space “ “ in between give_item and “futa_potion”.
After you press enter, you should see “Placed 1 “futa_potion” into inventory”. If you open the inventory to check, it should indeed be there.
If you want to give multiple item once, press space after “futa_potion” and enter a number:
If you did everything right, you should see another message and you have 9001 more “futa_potions” in the inventory.
Next up is giving exp. This command is in the form of [give_exp AMT]. For example:
This command is a little special because sometimes you want to give exp to your allies instead of yourself.To do that, first go near an ally and move the cursor on them. You should see the “Talk to …” prompt. Then type [give_exp 1234] as usual and press enter. This time, the message should say “Selected Unit Received 1234 exp.” Instead of “Received 1234 exp.”
Next up, we have [kill] and [refresh] commands. [kill] instantly kills nearby hostiles, and [refresh] fully heals you. Should be fairly straight forward.
Next group are the spawning enemy commands. They take in the following forms:
[spawn_enemy “UNIT_UID” AMT]
[spawn_friendly “UNIT_UID” AMT]
[spawn_wild “UNIT_UID” AMT]
The spawn_xxx are identical except they spawn units under different teams. Spawn_enemy spawns enemies. Spawn_friendly spawns unit that are friendly to you, but is not under your control. Spawn_wild spawns unit that are hostile to all except themselves.
Like [give_item], You may want to use [list_unit_ids] first to get an overview of all the UNIT_UIDS.
Let’s try this, point to an empty spot on ground and type:
And indeed, if you did everything right, you should have spawned 1 friendly “GOBLIN_FODDER” exactly at where your cursor is pointing at.
Let’s spice things up. Type in [spawn_wild “HUMAN_FARMER” 10] and watch the chaos unfold:
The poor goblin got massacred of course but I’m sure you can find more interesting use of [spawn_XXXs]
The final group of cheats gives special properties to the player. They are:
[iron_maiden]
[ko_queen]
[move_unseen]
[iron_maiden] makes you take 0 HP damage.
[ko_queen] makes any of your attacks insteadly knocks any unit it hit into the air and prones them
[move_unseen] makes you untargetable by the AI. For example, if you just want to watch, this is the command for you!
And that’s it for the first batch of cheat commands. There will probably be more coming, and feel free to leave suggestions on additional commands you want to see.
Cheats list:
[enable_cheats]
[give_item “ITEM_ID” AMOUNT]
[give_exp AMOUNT]
[kill]
[refresh]
[spawn_enemy “UNIT_ID” AMOUNT]
[spawn_wild “UNIT_ID” AMOUNT]
[spawn_friendly “UNIT_ID” AMOUNT]
[move_unseen]
[iron_maiden]
[ko_queen]
P.S. There is an additional command [enable_zone “ZONE_ID”] but it doesn't work well because some ZONE_ID contains spaces. “Goblin Lair”, for example. The current parser is not powerful enough to handle spaces in ids. I leave this here because you might find it useful for testing custom dungeons.
