    Cheat Codes

    Age of Empires, Definitive Edition and Return of Rome Cheat Codes

    This is a list of all the known cheat codes for Age of Empires. Remember, not all codes work in all versions of the game.

    All cheat codes are entered via the Chat text box. Press Enter on the keyboard, type the cheat code in, and press enter to activate the cheat. Some cheats are not immediately obvious, such as if you kill player 3 and haven’t made contact with player 3 yet. For those cheats that give you a unit, such as Photon Man, the unit appears at one your Town Center in most cases. In Return of Rome, not all cheats work but the majority do.

    Cheat

    Description

    Reveal MapReveals the entire map
    No FogRemoves the Fog of war
    Pepperoni PizzaGive yourself 1000 food
    CoinageGive yourself 1000 gold
    WoodstockGive yourself 1000 wood
    QuarryGive yourself 1000 stone
    SteroidsAllow instantaneous 100% progress on upgrades, buildings, units, and villager functions.  This grants the same to all the other players as well.  If you enter it a second time it will switch it off.
    DiediedieEveryone dies (instant victory)
    ResignYou resign
    Hari KariSuicide
    Home RunWins Scenario
    KillxKills player x where x is the player’s starting position.  For example, to eliminate player 2, enter Kill2.
    GaiaThe planet player – gives you control over nature (note: You lose control of your own civilization for the rest of the game.)
    Big BerthaHeavy Catapults have greater range and damage.   James pointed out that if you apply the cheat at a time when you are only capable of making stone throwers, this cheat will advance it to catapults.
    ICBMBallistas get 100 range points
    HoyohoyoPriests gets lots of speed and 600 hit points (Zen: it seems that if you enable this cheat it at the beginning of the game, then upgrade the priest later it’s possible to have a super priest with 1200 hit points with certain civs.)
    MedusaTransforms villagers to Medusas.  Attack with a villager, and when the villager is killed, it will turn into a “Black Rider.”  When the “Black Rider” is killed, it will turn into a Heavy Catapult.
    Black RiderTransforms Horse Archer into a “Black Rider.”  (60 Hit Points and Attack of 8)  When the “Black Rider” is killed, it will turn into a Heavy Catapult.  THanks to Vincent Voyard for finding this out.
    Dark RainTransforms Composite Bowmen into Stealth Bowmen – they look like trees while standing still.  Thanks to Anthony Akens and Randall Spangler for pointing this one out. (mickey pointed out that the “Dark Rain” units can also walk on water; and BigWorm pointed out that the cheat upgrades your Bowman to Composite Bowman if you still have Bowmen.)

    Photon ManGives you Photon Man, a soldier with a laser blaster, able to kill elephants in one shot.
    Flying DutchmanTurns Juggernaughts into Flying Dutchmen
    BigdaddyCool car with a rocket launcher, 300 attack points, 500 hit points, and a range of 15.  Very fast too.  (Note from Cheyenne: Bigdaddy is awfully easy for enemy Priests to convert, and then they get Bigdaddy to wail on you…)

    Jack be NimbleSelect a catapult and enter this cheat, the Catapult will then fire cows, super villagers with capes (and non pants!), or tumbling villagers, depending on orientation.

    E=MC2 TrooperPhoton Man with Nuclear Weapons! Attack of 300 and an 88 Range.

    RunplaySeems to make units move faster, especially the horse units.  Might not work with others… (Thanks Airman No Class!)
    UpsidflintmobileAccelerates your Chariot Archers
    (Thanks to Dark Knight for the post!)
