There are. They start with 'debug_'. Try typing that in the console and pressing TAB, it'll give you a list of possible commands.

That's an unusual name, by the way. How do you pronounce it?

[Aaangel]

Hey I'm danish so that's why it's so unusual

[Aaangel]

Sorry to be such a pain in the a..., however I don't get a possible list, only an ability to set the values 1, 2, 3 or 7 to the variable.

A little more information would be nice

[BTAxis]

Oh, sorry, I forgot 2.2.1 didn't have that functionality yet. The commands were called differently in that version. Also, if you aren't running a debug-compiled build, the debug commands won't work.

[Aaangel]

My bad, forgot to mention I've upgraded to 2.3, but I still only get the very limited options.

[BTAxis]

I only get a debug map listing ...

It's autocompletes to debug_map and that's it.

Using x64 Vista SP1

[BTAxis]

Are you sure your build is a debug build? It should say so on the main menu if it is. If it isn't, it'll say RELEASE, and you can't use the debug commands.

[odie]

Aaangel,

U will need a DEBUG version (see startup menu screen bottom left) - it should state the version, the date compiled and a RELEASE or DEBUG word. If its compiled by Destructavator or myself, most likely it is. If SVN self compile, under Codeblocks (aka CB here), u will need to go "Build -> Select Target -> Windows Debug".

I will be compiling a new version anyway, if u wan to d/l the easy way, will take me 1/2 a day @ work though.

What exactly are the conditions for losing ?

In particular, how many nations need to be below the minimum happiness ?
I finally understood what those percentages mean in the difficulty description. A nation gives you happiness * its max funding credits at the start of a month, so that nation's exact happiness can be calculated. Should be explained better. I happened to get that warning about a nation being below the happiness minimum. However, the game didn't end right away at least, and the nation is now above again. Until radar coverage is sufficient, it's problematic to take care for *all* nations.
That happiness minimum is kinda useless btw, since you desperately need the money anyway, so nations should all be exuberant.

EDIT
I found it in the source. Seems that with 8 nations, 3 are allowed to be below the happiness limit.
There seems to be a bug btw, description for NATIONBELOWLIMITPERCENTAGE implies 4 are allowed, but >= is used, thus it ends already when nationBelowLimit is 4, see cp_campaign.cpp line 395 and following. Most of the time at least...unless that defined constant creates rounding error etc.
