Control-P adds one to planet quality. To keep going, keep using the keystrokes. THEN colonize it.

Ctrl + P is the planetary governor choice in TA.

Planet quality increase has been remapped to Ctrl + Shift + N (TA only).

And in DA and TA, it works both before and after colonization.  The only inconsistency I'm aware of in this regard is in DL.

I tried ctrl + shift + N in ToA, after selecting a planet, both inhabited and also uninhabited, also selected the planet surface. Still nothing.

Am I doing anything wrong ?

Ensure you have cheats functional-a shortcut to the game executable (not the launcher) with -cheat appended to the path.

And Ctrl+Shift+N only applies to TA 2.x; TA versions prior to that, which do not have the planetary governor, still use Ctrl+P.

Thanks for replying. I have created a shortcut and added the cheats part you mention as below

H:\GalCiv2EU\Twilight\GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe -cheats 

Above being the target in Windows 7 x64 bit edition, ToA version 2.03

 

Still no joy - what am I doing wrong ?

My bad; it's cheat, not cheats.  I'm also not entirely sure whether the hyphen is necessary.  But try removing the s first.

Going to edit my previous post-I clearly need to be more careful of what I type.
