Overview

The run command allows the game's engine to execute a sequence of commands from a file.

This command has the ability to streamline gameplay by executing multiple actions at once without having to manually enter each command individually.

When you issue a command like run filename.txt, what you're telling the game to do is to read a text file named filename.txt that contains a list of instructions, or commands, to carry out in the game.

The text file must be located in the specific path, the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/run folder on your computer.

Each line in the text file should contain a valid command for the game. The game will then execute each of these commands in sequence, as though you had entered them manually one by one.

This can save a lot of time for tasks you find yourself doing regularly, or for complex series of commands you want to execute without the risk of making a mistake by typing them manually.

How to Open the Command Console

In CK3, 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 .
