Stuckand searching for some Age of Empires 2 cheats? This page has you covered with a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings for PC.
To use a cheat code, press "Enter" during the game and enter one of the following codes below. After that, press "Enter" again to initiate the cheat. The codes are not case sensitive. Cheats that summon units and provide free resources are repeatable but those that affect certain units only require a single input. Cheats can be repeated continuously through copy and pasting which allows the player to initiate the same effect with minimal effort. This can be done by pressing "Ctrl C" after typing it out then repeating the action of "Ctrl V" after pressing "Enter". On older computers, players may need to right click and perform the task manually instead of using this shortcut method. Note that cheats are not available in the trial version.
Cheat codes that summon new units will always spawn at the Town Center and likewise will not be applicable to players without one. If a player has more than one Town Center, the unit will spawn near the one that was most recently built, and will continue to spawn there unless a new one is built or the current one is destroyed. The act of summoning cheat units is similar to the act of training new units from the Town Center. Consequently, if the Town Center is researching a new Age, the cheat unit cannot be spawned.
Cheats that affect certain units does not apply to enemy units converted by the player. To maximize combat potential, players should type the code before researching specific technologies that benefit that unit.
