Warhammer 3 Console Commands: Gold, Units and How to Enable

November 8, 2026 · Cheat Codes, Strategy

Quick answer: Warhammer 3 console commands do not exist in the base game. You need the Console Commands mod from the Steam Workshop, then type give gold 50000 in its text box to add gold. It is PC only.

Warhammer 3 console commands are not built in to Total War: Warhammer III, so you need a Steam Workshop mod to get a console. The mod adds commands for gold, units, experience, movement and more.

This guide is based on the mod creator’s command list as quoted by Gamewatcher, a Workshop discussion summary and a GameSkinny guide. The mod’s pinned Workshop discussion holds the current list. The same cheats were popular in older titles, such as Total War Rome 2 console commands.

How to enable the Total War Warhammer 3 console

Subscribe to the Console Commands mod on the Steam Workshop, enable it in the mod manager and launch the game on PC.

Open the Total War: WARHAMMER III Workshop and subscribe to the Console Commands mod by prop joe.
Tick the mod in the launcher and start a campaign.
Open the console. Gamewatcher says the mod adds a button at the top left of the screen that opens a text box. A Workshop summary also mentions the ~ (tilde) key.
Type a command and press Enter.

Before you use commands: Some players report that the mod conflicts with other mods or causes problems when you open it while saving, loading or fighting a battle. Back up your campaign save first and avoid the console in those moments.

WH3 console commands for gold

Type give gold 50000 to add 50,000 gold, or just give gold for the default 50,000. A negative number removes gold. If you have a settlement selected, the gold goes to the faction that owns it.

TWW3 console commands for units and characters

Select an army, then use au [unit_key] [number]. The unit key is the database key, not the name on screen. The mod’s developer pinned key lists on the Workshop page, so look there for exact keys.

Use add axp 3 style commands to rank up the whole army and add xp for a character. The mod warns that adding lords or units from other factions can give T-posing models or broken battles. Lords added with to_pool may have blank names and are not immortal. Some items are culture locked and mounts do not work.

Regions, research and map commands

The mod also lists region and research tools. They are listed here as the creator describes them.

primary [number] sets the primary slot level of the selected region.
region and region off give or remove growth and build speed bonuses for your regions.
gr [faction_key] gives the selected region to a faction, or to you if no key is given.
abandon abandons the selected region.
technology [number] changes research speed, and technology off turns it off.
global rec [number] changes recruitment time.
mov adds a movement bonus applied after the turn ends.

Other Total War and strategy cheats

Older Total War titles had a more open console. See Medieval 2 Total War console commands for a classic example. If you play a sci-fi strategy title, our Star Wars Empire at War console commands and Civ 6 console commands cover other approaches. Browse all game cheat codes for more.

One user on the Workshop page found no god mode command. The mod is aimed at campaign tweaks rather than battle invincibility.

Why Warhammer 3 console commands are not working

No console appears: confirm the Console Commands mod is subscribed, enabled in the launcher, and that you started the campaign with it active.
Command ignored: you may need to select an army, character or region first. Many commands act on the selection.
Unit or trait not found: use the database key, not the display name. See the mod’s pinned lists.
Crash or save failure: some users report conflicts with other mods. Disable others and test.
Broken models or battles: caused by adding units from other factions or races.
Update broke it: the base game updates often, so check the Workshop page for mod updates.
