Console commands request

[Caballero-Arepa]

Before creating

• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Civ VI, BNW, or outside - see Roadmap
• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Vanilla Civ V or from G&K - If so, it should be a comment in Missing features from Civ V - G&K #4697

Problem Description

After making the first scenario, here a a few commands that would be good to have:

• Change city name
• Add CS (it would be good to have a way to set which CS you want to be in the game)
• Set year date (would be nice to have)
• Change the terrain (not so crucial, its mostly for generated maps, where you want to change one tile, or you spotted a mistake with your custom map. Or to increase the resource amount. But well, one can be just mire careful.)

Great feature btw! I'm loving it.

Is this template thingy new? Good thing, I'll read it later.

1+3 are simple
2 could get messy but doable
4 is something that's been in the backlog for a while, allowing terrain changes dynamically also means allowing terrain change from uniques, not simple but yes planned

set which CS you want to be in the game

Might be interesting not only for testing -> maybe do as variation of the new-game "nation pool"?

Set year date

Simple? I'd have a lot of respect here - change turn number backwards - side effects??? Well, console is a 'use at your own risk' thing. Or - change turn-number-to-year translation rules? Does not belong in console.

I was thinking in just a symbolic change not the turn number, just the year independently

[yairm210]

Ahh, that's actually more difficult, since turn determines year currently, they're not independent...

[SomeTroglodyte]

"Does not belong in console" - the turn/year rules are in Eras.json? No - Speed.json yearsPerTurn! So, console on the fly change Ruleset - possible, but far too marginal, and modifying yearsPerTurn itself wouldn't be an intuitive "make it show 1960" either.

[Caballero-Arepa]

Ah, I see.
Well, so then perhaps we should change the name of the Issue to just "Command request: Change City Name"

[yairm210]

...no?
We can allow set turn, and it you want a discussion year you can binary search for it

[Caballero-Arepa]

It would be great if possible

Also, I don't we can set CS influences yet.

• Set CS influence
• Mass delete units

[Caballero-Arepa]

I've found a bug.

I created, then I removed a city, and it left a road there. I tried to delete, but I apparently can't.

*if I do only tile removeimprovement, it doesn't do anything

• Delete roads

Maybe take the dev tools away from non-devs: Throw the dog a bone, it'll gobble all the dinosaur skeletons in existence... 🍖

[yairm210]

This is meant to be for non-devs, the original goal was to enable scenario building
