How to Change Ideology in HOI4
In this article we tell you how to change ideology in HOI4. With us you will set up your own ruling party.
Hearts of Iron 4 is a strategy game that takes you back to the World War II. It allows you to lead a country of your choice in these turbulent times. It is a rather complex simulation that includes many details. One of them is the possibility to set up your own ruling party. This involves changing the ideology in HOI4. In this article, we will tell you how to do this.
Advisor
The first way to change the ideology in HOI4 is to slowly convince citizens of it. You can do this by hiring a suitable political advisor ( it costs Political Power). This must be a person whose skill will allow you to passively increase the influence of your desired faction.
Such a step can lead to various events that can accelerate the introduction of a new ideology. One of the first will certainly be a choice between internal and popular support. The former will increase the chance of a coup, the later of a civil war.
If you choose the second option, you will have the opportunity to change your ideology more quickly, but at the same time you will significantly weaken your country. So choose carefully.
In case you decide to follow a peaceful path, support for the chosen ideology must reach above 50%. Then an election event will occur. Congratulations, you have changed the political system.
National Focus
You can also change the ideology in HOI4 by developing a proper National Focus. These are long projects that affect your country in some way. They can directly influence the economy or impact the ruling party. You will pay for their development with Political Power.
It is worth mentioning, however, that not all countries have the same opportunities to develop National Focuses. A lot depends on which DLC you have. So this way of changing ideology will not necessarily be available to you.
HOI4 cheats – set ruling party
The least elegant but still effective and fastest way to change the views of the ruling party is to enter the right command. To change the ideology in HOI4, you can use the console. It can be accessed using the ~ key. Once open, type set_ruling_party X.
Replace X with the letter that represents the ideology or its name:
- C – communism;
- D – democratic;
- F – fascism;
- N – neutrality.
Mods
The last way to easily change and enrich ideology in HOI4 is through modding. Many mods address this issue. It is therefore worth looking for one. We will not give specific names, as the game is heavily supported by the developers, so mods may become outdated with future updates. However, remember to only download software from safe and verified sources.
