In-Depth Description

The remove_rival is a console command in Europa Universalis IV that allows the player to remove a specified rival from a specific country.

In the context of the game, a rival is a nation chosen by the player to counter or to compete against.

Rivals can cause various challenges including military conflicts, political intrigue, and economic competition.

Deciding on rivals can be a strategic decision as it can affect diplomatic relations with other countries.

The remove_rival command requires the country tag of the nation where you wish to remove the rival from. The country tag is a unique identifier for every country in the game, for example, FRA for France or ENG for England.

The basic syntax of the command is as follows: remove_rival [country tag]. The country tag is the nation you want to remove the rival relation from.

This command can be helpful when you want to ease tensions or improve diplomatic relations with a certain country that is considered as a rival. It can also be used when you want to shift your diplomatic and military focus to other nations or issues.

How to Open the Command Console

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

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