Themix of real-world history and strategy against a Victorian aesthetic backdrop is as alluring as ever but unlike reality, the game moves along at a far quicker pace. It definitely requires more long-term planning and is far slower than something in the vein of Fortnite, however.
But even the 4X grand strategy enjoyers amongst us just want to kick back to have some dumb fun too or use cheats as a way to help learn the game by lessening the load. If that sounds like you then read on for the sacred texts await you and your empire!
You can now use the following console commands whenever and however you like. Just be aware that this can cause the game to become unstable, and a deer head appearing on the map screen will mean that errors have been detected.
You can also use a few cheats without codes while in debug mode - pressing CTRL and ALT together will allow you to instantly annex any state you click on, while the debug console also has buttons that allow you to change your nation's constitution.
The same wit and wisdom bodice can also be used for slightly later 1840s gowns if you add a point v shaped piece of fabric to the centre front.White the 1840s gowns look like they have longer waisted bodices many actually only have lower front waists while the sides and back are still quite high
By the mid to late 1840s and during the early 1850s ,the Victorian waistline has got slightly lower and is about the position of modern high waisted skirts ,for these gowns you will need to buy a slightly longer bodice to recover,ideally this shape ,these are just marginally longer ,the front of the bodice will need to be cut to a point
The late 1850s bodice is quite long as can be seen in the Gowns from the V and A shown above and its hard to find long enough commercial bodices to use but it begins to creep higher until by the mid 1860s is it again almost at the just below rib level it began the 1840s .The gown below is a wedding gown in the V and A collection dated 1865
These bodices are fairly easy to make with most corset tops however there is a brief period of very long line tailored bodices which are more or less impossible to recreate using the cheats guide process of recovering bodices .It may be possible to create a gown in this style using a bought steel boned corset recovered but I have never yet managed to personally create a satisfactory version
The closest I came to creating this style was achieved by using a longer than average evening bodice that came to navel level and adding long lengths of fabric to give the impression of a longer bodice as seen in the green gown in the photo below ,unfortunately I dont have a front image of the gown.
The red gown bodice was actually a short bodice I restyled to make a georgian gown then reused to make a bustle gown incorporating the skirts into a draped polonaise style bustle ,many bustle gowns were made from recycled earlier gowns so it seemed fitting to do the same thing with my own costumes
The final years of the Victorian era and into the very early Edwardian era create a slightly more complicated bodice but one which can be loosely recreated using the same basic bodice recovered I was in a rush to make the red gown below and used a standard evening bodice without changing or modifying its shape .I added panels of lace to cover the rather low neckline but many late Victorian ball gowns were extremely low necked

At the start of the Victorian era (1830s-1900), English society was highly stratified and hierarchical, and the population fell into three main classes. The idea of classes is hard for us to fully grasp from our modern viewpoint. We often think of them as having to do entirely with income level, and while that was certainly a factor, it also depended on values, education, occupation, family connections and history, birth, as well as your manners, speech, and clothing.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing. The rise of industry powered sweeping changes in the technological, sociological, and economic landscape of the West.
When 18-year-old Queen Victoria ascended to the British throne in 1837, very few of her subjects had traveled more than 10 miles from the rural spot in which they were born, goods and messages could only travel as fast as a horse could carry them, and only half of English citizens could read and write.
When Victoria died in 1901, the pace and texture of life had dramatically transformed. 80% of English citizens now lived in towns and cities, and some of their homes were outfitted with electric lights, had cabinets stocked with canned foods, and sat on gaslight-dotted streets. Telegraphs carried messages in a blink, railroad tracks criss-crossed the land, and luxurious steamships fairly whisked passengers from England to America in only nine days. A man could now write a letter on his typewriter, get his portrait taken by the local photographer, have an x-ray, vaccination, or chloroform administered by his doctor, and shave with a safety razor at home instead of visiting the barber to have his whiskers trimmed. Education for the young had become compulsory, and literacy soared to nearly 100%.
The most important change of the 19th century, however, was the rise of the middle class. The Industrial Revolution not only created manufacturing work, but a booming expansion in trade and banking, along with a whole new stratum of white-collar jobs.
The Victorian honor code addressed these concerns by making adherence to the rules of manners and etiquette part of the standard of respectability. Manners were designed to foster decorum, but they also eased the interactions between strangers. Each party knew how to behave and what was expected of them in various situations. And adherence to the code of conduct was a way to build your public reputation for honor; good manners were easily observable markers by which others could judge you, and were seen as outward manifestations of the inner virtues of self-control, courtesy, and respect.
But as brand new professions emerged, traditional professions greatly expanded, and the middle-class gained in political power and cultural influence, the question arose of how to ensure that professionals acted with that same disinterested ideal. In response, professional codes of ethics were developed, shaped by the principles of the Victorian honor code; that is, the members of the professions should place virtues like honesty, accountability, and respect above self-interest. While it may be hard to believe, in the absence of many legal restraints, the standard of business morality was quite high, and despite the inevitable swindles of a few scoundrels and cheats, the honor system kept corruption largely in check.
In the previous posts in this series, we talked about how the decline in traditional honor is rooted in its shift from being external and public to inner and private in nature. Traditional honor was based solely on your having a reputation worthy of respect and admiration in a group of equal peers, while inner honor is judged only by the man (and perhaps God) himself.
Further, despite the (at least marginally) coherent picture we have tried to describe here, the Stoic-Christian honor code was never universally adopted by all men. Born of the middle class, while it had an enormous influence on Western societies that extended both to the upper and lower classes, its penetration to the latter was minimal. For the urban working class, honor still resembled the primal variety, with disputes settled with fists and status based on physical prowess and strength. And even those in the middle and upper classes struggled to reconcile what felt like a very manly urge to be aggressive and rowdy, with the ideal of being a refined and restrained gentleman, who was above such things.
This struggle between competing ideas of manly honor is vividly illuminated against the backdrop of the diverging societies and values of the American North and South. And so that is where we will turn next time. Then we tackle the evolution of honor in the wars of the 20th century, followed by the decline of honor during the countercultural movement and its modern state. I think. Maybe even all this week, so we can actually have time for working on other posts, and showering. Maybe. I assure you that the rest of the posts in this series will be shorter and pithier, so I hope you will continue on with us.
