and other helpful "shortcuts".
Published on February 2, 2011 By Stuie_ In WOM Mods

Posting this here because it has helped me with testing my (as yet to be released) Five Kingdoms mod.  Originally from the "Cheats" thread in the main forum:  https://forums.elementalgame.com/372995

I wanted to point out an important discovery I made; you can run the game in AI only mode by pressing Ctrl+Z, and Ctrl+Z again to pause.  This is great for testing long term implications of modding on the AI.

The other shortcuts from the original thread - note that you have to have the -cheat command line switch in your shortcut to launch Elemental:

Ctrl+A = Opens a list of unit actions that you can make the currently selected unit perform.  Might be helpful for modding new units.
Ctrl+B = Complete que'd buildings in selected City
Ctrl+C = Make a copy of selected unit [clone]
Ctrl+D = Makes selected target yours [works on unit's I haven't tried yet on city's]
Ctrl+E = Research all spells
Ctrl+F = Spawns a Spouse and Children for your sovereign.  I believe Ctrl+N only spawns a spouse.
Ctrl+G = Toggle Grid
Ctrl+H = Gives 100 mana
Ctrl+I = Give one of every item in the game to yourself (dead rats, potions, books, etc.)
Ctrl+J = Complete all que'd units in selected city
Ctrl+K = Kill selected target [city, unit or group will not work on individuals inside a city from what I have seen tho]
Ctrl+L = ?? Nothing ??
Ctrl+M = Give 1000 Resources
Ctrl+N = Give yourself a spouse and children
Ctrl+O = Spawns a child if you already have a spouse.
Ctrl+P = Grant selected unit/group's leader enough xp to instantly level
Ctrl+Q = Insta-learn current spell
Ctrl+R = Research everything
Ctrl+S = Quick Save
Ctrl+T = Teleport selected unit/group to cursor
Ctrl+U = Reveal Map [2nd time brings fog back]
Ctrl+V = Instantly have your Child reach adulthood
Ctrl+W = Cycles through wall types for city.
Ctrl+X = Toggle UI (Hide/Unhide)
Ctrl+Y = ?? Nothing ??
Ctrl+Z = Runs the game in AI Only Mode.  Ctrl+Z again to pause it.

Shift+Ctrl+L = Lose the game
Shift+Ctrl+V = Win the game (eliminates all other factions)

Posing more as I find them:

Ctrl+W = Cycles through wall types for city.

Shift+Ctrl+L = Lose the game

Shift+Ctrl+V = Win the game (eliminates all other factions)

The one thing I would really like that I haven't been able to find yet is a way to "meet" all of the other factions so I can watch their power rankings while running AI only mode.

Get titan's call, teleport around.

Get titan's call, teleport around.

That works.  I was hoping for a shortcut for the lazy.  LOL

 

Edit:  Actually, just uncovering the map and then Ctrl+T to each sovereign works, then Ctrl+Z to run the game.

When you run it in AI mode, be sure to position your sovereign outside a city first. Sometimes he/she doesn't get snatched from cities when you start the mode.

Pretty sure Ctrl+E actually researches ALL spells.

Thanks - updated the OP with my complete alphabetized list.

To be even more precise, it will give you access to every spell from a spellbook, whether or not you could normally gain that spellbook. The spells will also disregard requirements for shards.
