Frequently asked questions
How do I add absolutism in EU4?
Use the absolutism command with an amount, e.g. absolutism 100. It adds that much absolutism to your country (absolutism is normally capped by your max absolutism in the Age of Absolutism).
Why is my absolutism not rising in EU4?
Absolutism only matters from the Age of Absolutism onward, and your current value is limited by your max absolutism. The console command adds the raw value regardless; in normal play you raise it via stability changes, harsh treatment and certain events.
What does absolutism do in EU4?
Higher absolutism increases governing capacity and reduces minimum autonomy and several costs, making a centralised empire far more efficient.
