Hearts of Iron IV game guide focuses on Division Templates Guide for 2020. This is guide is a collection of basic and advanced templates.

- Honestly, templates for divisions haven’t changed much. Infantry wise, the same divisions is still good: 14 infantry, 4 artillery, with engineers, recon, logistics, sup artillery, and signal companies.
What do these parameters mean? That's explained in the table below!
| Unit Name/ID | The ID of the unit you wish to spawn, e.g. 'artillery', 'anti_tank', etc. |
| Province ID | The ID of the province you wish to spawn the unit within. |
| Amount | The amount of the specified unit you wish to spawn. |
So, to spawn 1 Support Anti-Tank (anti_tank) in the province with ID 4367, you'd type:
Best Division Templates Hoi4
spawn anti_tank 4367 1
You could change that to 300 Support Anti-Tanks with the below command:
spawn anti_tank 4367 300
If you're looking for a list of codes like 'anti_tank', etc, you can use HOI4Cheats's searchable list of unit codes.
That's really all there is to spawning units like tanks, artillery, etc in Hearts of Iron IV. If the above commands aren't working for you, it's likely that you haven't added the launch options properly, click here to revisit our guide on how to add the -debug launch option.
