Quick Overview

The powerpoints command in Europa Universalis IV (EU4) is a cheat code that boosts your monarch points.

Monarch points are spent on a variety of game mechanics, including tech development, core creation, and stability increases.

If no specific number is given after the command, all types of monarch points (administrative, diplomatic, and military) are maximized.

In-Depth Description

The powerpoints command in Europa Universalis IV is a cheat code that is used to give maximum monarch points in all three categories: administrative, diplomatic, and military.

Monarch points are game resources that you spend in various ways such as improving counties, advancing technologies, enacting ideas, stability, and more.

When you use the powerpoints command without specifying a number, the game will automatically give you the maximum number of monarch points in all three categories which is 999.

The utility of this command is it allows you to rapidly progress in these categories without having to wait for your monarch points to accumulate over time. It allows you to quickly enact ideas, invest in technology, or make internal improvements to your country.

It is helpful when you're in a bind and need to boost your development quickly, such as when you're lagging behind in technology or when you need to rapidly stabilize your country after a disastrous war or event.

How to Open the Command Console

In EU4, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~(tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
