In order to either write cheats or use other console commands you first have to
enable the debug console by adding the cheat launch option to GalCivs executable
file. Once done, open the console with the default tilde(~) key, the key can be
changed in input options. If the console has opened, type help to see a full list
of the commands. For information on specific commands type help.
For example: help modcredits
Note: If you use steam, go to library and right click on the Galciv3 game, and
you will see properties. After that, in the default General Tab, click on the
launch options button. Here, type in cheat and this will be added to the process
launch of galciv3.
For those that do not have steam, you will need to create a shortcut item of
the Galciv3.exe, and then right click on it and go to properties. Notice the
TARGET LINK, which has the direct path and name of the Galciv3.exe application.
Here, append cheat to the line, thus adding this option during the process
launch of galciv3.exe.
