Quick Overview

The sailors command in Europa Universalis IV is used to increase your nation's number of sailors.

By default, using this command will add 5,000 sailors to your nation's resource pool, which can be used to build and maintain naval forces.

In-Depth Description

The sailors command in Europa Universalis IV is beneficial for boosting your naval resources.

When you execute this command, you add sailors to your country's resources.

The default value is 5000, but you can change this by specifying another number when you enter the command.

Sailors are a critical resource in the game, playing a pivotal role in the management of your navy. They are required for the construction and maintenance of ships.

However, they are also naturally generated in coastal provinces. But if you're looking to speed up your navy's growth or maintenance, using this command can be a great way to accelerate that process.

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 .
