Civilization 7, while streamlined, still presents a learning curve. Cheats and console commands can be helpful, especially for new players. This guide explains how to enable the console and use the available options.

Enabling the Console:

  • Locate AppOptions.txt: Navigate to the game's configuration file. The usual path is:  My PC > Drive (Game Install) > Users > Username > AppData > Local > Firaxis Games > Sid Meier's Civilization 7
  • Open AppOptions.txt: Open the AppOptions.txt file using Notepad or another text editor.
  • Modify EnableDebugPanels: Find the line ;EnableDebugPanels -1 (without the parentheses).
  • Change Value: Change the line to EnableDebugPanels 1 (remove the semicolon).
  • Save File: Save the AppOptions.txt file.
  • Launch Game: Start Civilization 7.
  • Open Console: Press the Tilde (~) key on your keyboard to open the console.
  • Console Placement: Select "Move" in the console to position it at the top or bottom of the screen.

  • Using Cheats (Console Options):

    Unlike many games, Civilization 7's console doesn't use typed commands. Instead, it offers checkbox options under different tabs. The available options are limited:
    • Map (Debug):

      • Reveal All: Shows the entire map, including all settlements, resources, and factions.
      • Explore All: Reveals the map but doesn't show everything on it (likely keeps Fog of War active but reveals terrain).
      • Enable FOW: Toggles the Fog of War on or off.
    • UI (Gameplay):

      • Force Age Transition: Immediately advances your civilization to the next Age.


    Important Notes:

    • Limited Options: The available "cheats" are primarily for map exploration and agetransition. There are no options to directly modify resources, gold, orother gameplay elements.
    • No Traditional Cheats: Don't expect to type in commands for specific effects. The console is primarily for debugging and limited gameplay alterations.
    • Experimental Options: The console options are best viewed as experimental tools to get abetter understanding of the game mechanics or to quickly test certainstrategies.

    Using the Console Effectively:

    • Map Exploration: "Reveal All" and "Explore All" are great for scouting the map and planning your expansion.
    • Age Transition: "Force Age Transition" can be useful for quickly testing late-gamestrategies or seeing how different units and technologies interact.

    While the console in Civilization 7 doesn't offer the wide range of cheatsfound in some other games, it still provides some helpful options forexploration and experimentation. Use these tools wisely to enhance your learning experience and gain a deeper understanding of the game.
