Using the console in Ironman is only useful if you can still get the achievements. It is the only reason to play Ironman after all. If you don't want to gain achievements there's no reason to play ironman, and so you can use the console at any time.
Now PWizard made it very clear that they feel they shouldn't be making cheats to help people gain achievements, and though I personally disagree, this is his site, so his rules apply.
The issue arrives however that in previous PDX games using the console in Ironman was used to gain those oddbal achievements that PDX puts in, that normally take 60 hours of play just to get to a single action, and then the rest of the game is pointless. As such using console in ironman became a much sought after option.
Most people who see this option in this trainer will assume it will help them gain achievements, and will be dissapointed when it doesn't work that way. Perhaps it would be better to remove the option, or alternatively make it very clear that achievements will be disabled. That way people won't get upset and start posting unpleasant comments here.
We aren't doing anything special or specific to disable achievements. Likely they changed the game code so that this type of hack no longer affects achievements. It may not even be in the game code at all when ironman mode is engaged. The achievements from previous games and trainers was simply a side effect, not something we did intentionally. We will not be removing the option or making any notification about achievements as the option is working as intended.
For those looking for achievements i found that if you don't enable console, leave it alone, and just use the editor for manpower and treasury ect, it allows achievements to fire.
did you not literally read one post above yours?
This trainer seems to be acting weirdly. As soon as it is activated manpower is affected{huge numbers in positive or negative}. Not just for the player nation, but also for AI nations as well. And yes I have the correct version and using a fresh game state. 🙁
