Age of Empires is a pretty awesome game made by Microsoft. Age of Empires 2 (Age of Kings), is a VERY GOOD RTS. It beats the original AOE by a long shot
Cheats, cheats, cheats, here they are for the game cheater.
COINAGE = 1,000 gold
PEPPERONI PIZZA = 1,000 food
QUARRY = 1,000 stone
WOODSTOCK = 1,000 wood
RESIGN = resign
HARI KARI = kill yourself
NO FOG = gets rid of fog
DIEDIEDIE = kill everyone*
REVEAL MAP = reveal the map
HOYOHOYO = make the priest move real fast and have 600 hitpoints
PHOTON MAN = have a laser trooper
E=MC2 TROOPER = have a nuke trooper
BIGDADDY = get an attack car
BIG BERTHA = upgrade your catapult to 200 hitpoints and 65 damage
STEROIDS = everything is done faster
ICBM = make ballista/helepolis range equal 100
JACK BE NIMBLE = catapults launch villagers and cows
DARK RAIN = upgrade composite bowmen to stealth archers
BLACK RIDER = upgrade regular or heavy horse archers to black riders
MEDUSA = turn villagers into medusas
TIMESAYSCHEAT = turn off cheats in multiplayer
KILLx = kill a player of your choice* (x=1-7,9)
FLYING DUTCHMAN = upgrade catapult triemes/juggernaughts to flying dutchman
HOMERUN = beat the mission, win the scenario
GAIA = take control of animals and loose control of people
* = doesn't work in multiplayer
TIPS: If your going to use the HOYOHOYO code, try to use it before the Bronze Age because there are technologies in that age that double priest hitpoints and increase speed by 40%. Try not to use BIG BERTHA too often because sometimes catapults do more damage to you than your enemy. The laser man, attack car, and nuke trooper are all less resistant to conversion than other units. Have fun!!!
