Hints and Tips:
---------------
-= Debug IDs =-
* With debug mode on, hover provinces, characters, and map objects; extra tooltips
  show country tags, location keys, and character IDs for console targets.
* Type debug_mode in the console to toggle extra map debug overlays after launch.

-= Ironman and achievements =-
* Console commands only work outside Ironman saves.
* Running with -debug_mode blocks achievements until you clear Launch Options and
  confirm the main-menu checksum.

-= Safe testing =-
* Duplicate a save before annex, conquer, kill_character, or economy commands; many
  effects permanently alter the campaign.
* Repeat a toggle command to switch most cheat modes off; reload if a toggle sticks.

-= Automation starters =-
* EU5 groups gardener, explorer, trader, and conqueror automation buckets - toggle
  whole categories or individual tasks in the outliner while learning one system at a
  time instead of micromanaging every pop and trade route on day one.
