Heroes I–VII, Olden Era and VCMI cheats

Choose the game and edition you are running. The language of this guide does not change your installed game or its commands.

PC guide. Sources checked on 3 November 2026; not tested in-game by us. These examples do not cover every release or mod.

Before entering a code

Heroes I

For the original Heroes I. Do not substitute numeric codes from Heroes II.

The installation language matters: nwcAmbrosia is the English variant, nwcMorePizza the Polish one. Changing this website’s language does not choose between them. Check each mod’s own rules.

On the adventure map, press Tab, enter the code and press Enter. Select a hero first for hero commands.

Heroes V · Tribes of the East

The procedure and four examples below apply to Tribes of the East. They do not confirm identical commands for base Heroes V, Hammers of Fate or the 5.5 mod.

  1. In the installation folder, open profiles/autoexec_a2.cfg. Add under Startup:
    setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
  2. Under Documents → My Games → the Tribes of the East folder → Profiles → your profile, open input_a2.cfg. Add under console:
    bind show_console '`'
  3. Launch the game, open the console with the assigned ` key and enter enable_cheats first.
  4. If the console does not open, check the active profile, .cfg extension and keyboard layout. The MMH5.5 team’s linked guide covers console activation for that mod separately.

Heroes VI

We do not yet have a reliably documented set of built-in codes or a verified activation procedure for Heroes VI. We therefore do not present Heroes III nwc… codes as working in VI. This does not mean external tools do not exist; their compatibility is not established here.

Heroes VII

Under Documents, open My Games/Might & Magic Heroes VII/MMH7Game/Config/MMH7Game.ini. Find mDebugCheats and change False to True. Save, launch the game and open the star above the command panel. HoMMdb says the menu is unavailable in multiplayer. Restore False to disable it.

mDebugCheats=True

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

Community reports for single-player in 2026: type unfrozen in lowercase in the main menu, load a save and press F2 on the map. Restart the game to leave cheat mode. This is not developer confirmation or a guarantee for every build; do not substitute other games’ commands if it fails.

VCMI

Separate VCMI engine, develop-branch documentation. Older releases may support fewer parameters. vcmispells also permits up to 100 casts per round; do not compare that battle with normal Complete. Select a town for vcmibuild. grandElf is an internal identifier and must not be translated.

On the adventure map, press Tab, enter the code and press Enter. Select a hero first for hero commands.
