This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Age of Mythology for PC. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.

All cheat codes that are available in Age of Mythology and its expansions are listed here. To activate them, press Enter, type in the cheat code into the Chat Box, and press Enter again. Cheats codes are case-sensitive and must be entered in CAPITAL LETTERS. Cheat codes do not work in the demo version of Age of Mythology. In Age of Mythology: Retold, cheat codes no longer have to be capitalized and can now be written in lowercase instead.

With cheats that help out with useful items including food, gold, and wood as well as codes that unlock special units not otherwise found in the game, there are plenty of excellent cheat codes to use in the real-time strategy classic.

However, we do have some idea of what Egyptian sounded like, through some cross-referencing with contemporary Akkadian texts, and phonological reconstruction via its daughter language Coptic. Since Egyptian, like many Semitic languages today, only wrote down consonants, reconstruction of the vowel sounds is particularly difficult.

However, since I doubt the developers/voice actors spoke Ancient Egyptian, I am going to have to try to guess what they were going for with each pronunciation. In other words, take all this with a grain of salt, because there is a lot of room for error.

- Ee-you-refer/Aerifear (Agreeing): I don't know Egyptian, but based on bad pronunciation I would have guessed "a w rfr"... then, I've found this hypothesis online: "iw rf ir", supposedly meaning "thus, do". Can you confirm?

- Entiyoh/Antioh/Intoyou (Expressing Readiness): these could actually be the same as "initu" ("in.i tw"?), since the characters who say that don't say "initu", and "entioh" is the male villager equivalent of female villager's "initu"). Interestingly, the Pharaoh says "antioh?" to express readiness and "entiyyoh!" when attacking. If it weren't for that, I would have been 100% sure that "antioh" and "entiyyoh" were the same phrase (considering bad pronunciation).

Greg "DeathShrimp" Street, one of the designers of Age of Mythology, came up with most of the lines based on what he could "scrape together off the early 2000s internet". If one of the lines sounded "too goofy", they would change it during recording, as they considered entertainment value more important than historical accuracy.

As someone who's made a mod fixing one of the spoken phrases (Chinese villagers' "fishing"), I absolutely love this article. I always wondered what the Egyptian in AoM was based on - and why it sounds nothing like games like Assassin's Creed Origins and maybe a few others. I read somewhere that the devs/voice directors kind of "winged it" on pronunciation with some of the phrases across the languages, but generally for the Greek and Chinese according to native-speaking YouTube commenters they seem to have gotten things correct (if not for the time periods depicted, necessarily).

Age of Mythology is a fantastic game. Made by the same studio responsible for the much more popular Age of Empires series (Ensemble Studios), Age of Mythology is a real-time strategy game where you take control of one of three ancient civilizations, the Greeks, Norse, or Egyptians (or the Atlanteans with the Titans expansion, and we won\u2019t count Tale of the Dragon). Each of these factions has a rich mythology, and the normal playstyle of real-time strategy games is modified by god powers and myth units, which are fantastical creatures like a Chimaera or a Troll.

This game is incredibly fun to play, especially when I found the infinite god powers cheat code as a kid (it\u2019s \u201CWRATH OF THE GODS\u201D). I loved playing the campaign, using the cheat, and spamming the Meteor god power until I won.

But one of the other interesting aspects of the game was that whenever you clicked on a unit, like a Villager, it would say something in the language of the ancient civilization you were playing. If you were playing the Greeks, the Villager would speak Ancient Greek, if you were playing the Norse, it would speak Old Norse. If you played AoM for any length of time, I\u2019m entirely certain you remember hearing Prostagma! Voulome! alllll the time from the Greek villagers.

I\u2019m fairly certain that the makers of Age of Mythology used this simplified Egyptological pronunciation for the Egyptian units, and I\u2019m pretty sure I can understand some of the words. I\u2019m also pretty sure that some of the phrases are just nonsense, but maybe it\u2019s the pronunciation.

Since I have Age of Mythology: Extended Edition on Steam, I was able to log in and test out the Egyptian faction, and see which actions triggered specific sounds. Below, I will give the phrases that I think I understand, and if I think it\u2019s incorrect grammar, I\u2019ll mark it in red.

I\u2019m almost 100% sure of the first two, the last one is probably pure speculation on my part. That\u2019s a Late Egyptian possessive construction, and I do not see how the AoM devs would have known that. And I can\u2019t understand at all what the units say when you make them gather wood.

The word \u201Cattack\u201D here is a noun. Egyptian writing is pretty ambiguous about nouns and verbs, so this could also be a verb of some kind, but my dictionary says it\u2019s a noun. So this exclamation would be like if your commander ordered you into battle, and your war cry was \u201CBattle!\u201D

In this article, I\u2019ve translated maybe half of the common phrases you hear in-game. But there are still a lot of these phrases that I just can\u2019t make heads or tails of. For example, what the hell is the pharaoh saying?

The ageofempires.fandom.com website gives phonetic transcriptions of the common Egyptian unit sounds, which may or may not be helpful, and here\u2019s a video containing all the Egyptian unit sounds, some of which aren\u2019t even used in the game:

An interested reader, George Wing, has confidently identified the ubiquitous \u201Cee-ned-djer-ek\u201D sound that the pharaoh makes at 0:07 in the Egyptian gameplay video, as well as several others (that appear to be unused in game), but that appear in the Voice Clips & Sounds.

For the remaining identifications, George points out that since these voice files appear to be unused, they lack the relevant context to make the identifications certain \u2014 you can\u2019t see what the units are doing when you click on them. Nevertheless, they fit well into the \u201Cjob descriptions\u201D schema.

Cheats that are exclusive to The Titan DLC are labelled with the The Titans badge, and those from the Extended Edition are labelled with the Extended Edition badge. Most of these exclusive cheats are located at the bottom of the list.

Start to type a cheat code into the search box below to search for a specific cheat. Additionally, type the name of a DLC to filter all cheats from that DLC (e.g. "The Titans"), or a more specific term such as "gold" (to search for cheats that give you gold), "god power" (to search for god power cheats), etc.

GOATUNHEIM is an interesting cheat to say the least - it will give you the Goatunheim God Power, which is only obtainable by using cheats. The Goatunheim power, when used, turns all units on the map into goats.

This cheat will give you the Walking Berry Bushes God Power, a god power that can only be granted with cheats. This god power will turn berry bushes (max 10) into walking berry bushes that are hostile towards enemy buildings and units.

BAWK BAWK BOOM is a cheat code that grants you access to a God Power that is only accessible via cheats - the Chicken Storm. The Chicken Storm causes "explosive chickens" to fall from the sky onto the targeted area.

This cheat spawns the Lazer Bear unit, which like the Forkboy unit, can only be spawned with cheat codes. The Lazer Bear unit will fight in battles, and is one of the most powerful units, having 1,120 hitpoints and attacking with lazer beams.

This cheat gives you 100,000 of each resource, increases build and research speeds by 10,000%, gives you the maximum possible population cap, and allows you to cast an unlimited amount of god powers (no cooldown).
