Complete Control
This will add hours of fun to the game:

1. Begin a game.

2. Save the game and remember the name.

3. Exit HOI

4. Find the Hearts of Iron directory under scenarios/save games.

5. Find the name of the game with the .eug extension - open it in wordpad.

6. If playing:

USA - search for 'tag = USA'

Germany - search for 'tag = GER'

France - search for 'tag = FRA'

England - search for 'tag = ENG'

7. Either scroll down, or then search for 'research_cost_app'

8. The next 4 lines will decide how long research takes. 1.000 is normal - lowering
it to 0.250 will make it really fast. Do not go lower than this, as an error may occur
as technologies are discovered.

Note: looking through this section and making minor tweaks can change the entire
landscape of the game. Also, scrolling down further, you will find generals.
Decreasing the Rank = number will promote them - a zero (0) is Field
Marshall/Grand Admiral etc. Increasing the skill will make them better. Try not to
go too high, as I do not know the limit of the game's logic algorithms. If you make
any mistakes simply go back to step one. This does nothing to change the game
itself, only your saved game.

Side Changing:
Playing as for example Germany (Nazi side) you can change the side by: 1. Save the
game.
2. Open the default scenario, like "Blitzkrieg" by for example France.
3. Then, playing "Blitzkrieg" load your saved game. You can delete the whole army if
you want to.
4. Save the game.
5. Load a default scenario, like "Blitzkrieg" by Germany.
6. Load your saved game and France has no army and you are Germany!
