Age of Empires Cheats

Type the following cheats to achieve the desired result.

  1. If you have the unpatched version of the game:
    To enable wood,food,gold and stone CTRL-N to make new game and return in principal menu with Single player, multiplayer... and choose Single player. Choose Campaign and now the cheat is enable. and try other CRTL-?
  2. If you have the patched version of the game:
    I can get the cheats to work by typing them in message box after hitting ENTER. If I back out and start a new game from the Menu system, I still have to type the cheats in, can't use the shortcut keys. On the AOE commands card, there is a list of all the CTRL+x commands, CTRL-N is not listed, makes me think that Microsoft may have disabled that ability. Has anyone out there been successful using the shortcut keys? I'll let you know how much success I have with some of these new cheats. I am using the patched version of the game.

    I have the Age of Empires Trial Version currently and I've looked everywhere for cheats which can be used on it. Do you have any cheats that can be used with the Trial Version other than HomeRun? I know there are some cheats because in multiplayer you can turn them on/off. Thanks! Eros

    I recently downloaded the trial version of this game, it looks like they either disabled the cheat mechanism, or there isn't any. Do you know of anyone who has found any cheats in the trial version???? Thanks

    From: Viper54963@aol.com
    well the AOE cheats dont work for the multiplayer games or the single games
  5. Subject: cant get cheats to work for age of empires Mark9885 Mark9885@aol.com
    where do you type in the cheats and do i type ctrl or is that mean then control key? Please help
    CTRL- means you hold down the control key while you hit the other keys. In Basic Keyboarding 101 we are taught that the control key is a non-repeat key that is used with other keys to change their function. In other words hold down the control key while typing the other characters. Also in some versions of the game you need to hit the Enter key before typing in the cheat code enable and codes. If you still have trouble email us.
