Hack - Unlock All Technologies
You must save the 1936, 1939, 1941, and 1944 folders to use this hacking procedure. You should have a back-up of the file(s) you are editing, or you will get game-screwed.
Choose which country you want to start in and the time period. Once you do, go to the 'Scenario' directory /HOI2/scenarios/ and find which time period you have chosen. Look for your country's file (most of the countries are truncated to three letters) and open the file with Notepad or a similar text editor. Note you need to save the file with the same extension) and locate the text string techapps = {
Underneath, you should find a couple of numbers (ranging from 1000 – 9460). Go to in between any of them and add your own list from 1000 – 9460 (going up in 10s). For example, you need to list 1000, 1010, 1020, 1030 .... 9440, 9450, 9460 to unlock all the technologies.
Save the file after you’ve done those modifications, boot the game and load the same scenario and you should have your technologies.
If you want to play HOI2 with a different country or time period, save over your current (1936, 1939, 1941, 1944) folders with a copy of the back-up ones. Then with the list of 1000 – 9460 you should had saved, highlight it all (CTRL + A), copy it all (CTRL + C) and paste it (CTRL + V) where you want it to go again.

Hack - Resource and Manpower
Get loads of resources and manpower
Back up the file you are going to alter, or you get a free game-screwing!
Go to the directory /HOI2/db/events and in there you should find many text documents. Locate the one file called RandomEvents and open it using Notepad or similar text editor (note you need to save the file with the existing extension). Search the bottom of the file and just add:
#####################################
# Money, money, money
#####################################
event = {
id = 1018
random = no
trigger = {
year = 9999
}
name = "EVT_1015R_NAME"
desc = "EVT_1015R_DESC"
picture = "politician"
style = 0
action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME1017A"
command = { type = vp value = 200 }
command = { type = supplies value = 99999999 } command = { type = oilpool value = 99999999 } command = { type = metalpool value = 99999999 } command = { type = energypool value = 99999999 } command = { type = rarematerialspool value = 99999999 } command = { type = money value = 99999999 } command = { type = manpowerpool value = 99999999 } } action_b = { name = "ACTIONNAME1017B"
command = { type = vp value = 200 }
command = { type = supplies value = 99999999 } command = { type = oilpool value = 99999999 } command = { type = metalpool value = 99999999 } command = { type = energypool value = 99999999 } command = { type = rarematerialspool value = 99999999 } command = { type = money value = 99999999 } command = { type = manpowerpool value = 99999999 } } }
Save the file when you play HOI2 game type event 1018 (in your cheat window). Then click yes/no to get a load of resources and manpower!

Hack: Fast Research
Note: this involves editing a save game, so make a back-up or re-start your campaign.
Locate the yoursave.eug file in the \...\scenarios\save\ directory. Open the file using a text editor and locate the string
Tag = (yourcountry)
Under that section, locate the science team section and change their relevant skills to 999 (or some moderately ridiculous integer). Further down, you may find the hidden technologies. If you remove the numbers with brackets next to each hidden tech, you do not have to wait for them to be accessable to researchers.
Cheat: Quick Units for Free
Note: When editing game files always make a back-up. First, go to your program files, then the Hearts of Iron II or paradox Inter. folder. Then go to the folder titled db, then the units folder, the brigade or division folder. In either one pick the units you want to change. All you have to change is the cost and build time to either 1 or 0. Changing anything else will cause the game to crash.
Cheat: Resources
Most of the cheats for Hearts of Iron 2 are the same as the first one. Hit f12 and type in the name of the resource to get 5k more of it.
