New resource menu - [Ctrl] + T
Speed construction - [Ctrl] + Q
View ending - [Ctrl] + C
Fast resources:
---------------
Use the following trick to rapidly enter the cheat codes
and get resources quickly. For wood, press [Enter], type
lumberjack, highlight the word, then press [Ctrl] + C to
copy it. Press [Enter] to activate the cheat.
Press [Enter] again, then press [Ctrl] + V to paste the
word on the screen for activation. Repeat to get resources
quickly. This may be used with the rock on, robin hood,
and cheese stack jimmy's codes.
Hint: More bases advantage:
---------------------------
To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build
more than one base. Enlarge the base you start out with,
making it completely fortified with at least two castles.
Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit,
to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you
have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a
villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that
base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of
your bases are located, especially during online play.
Free ally:
----------
When you build a market, there is a chance that a rival
tribe will ask you to send them a certain amount of wood,
stone, gold, and food. When they do, click on "Diplomacy"
or press [Alt] + D and click "Ally" on the name of that
tribe. They will become an ally free of charge. However,
when you do this you will no longer be able to align
yourself with any other tribes. This is helpful if there
are four tribes in the game.
Save resources:
---------------
When you are allies with others, do not build a market to
avoid giving them resources.
GameTip:
--------
Press "qwerty" on the keyboard at the same time and you can
edit the colours of the buildings and people

Hide Behind The Tower:
----------------------
Here is a Tip for a great idea!
Build any type of TOWER you know. Put some of your military
units behind the TOWER so the other players you are playing
with cannot see. So then when they attack the tower your
units come out and kill your oppents!
For Larger Enemies:
-------------------
Hit enter in the Imperial Age and type in "bigger baddies"
exactly the way I did and you're enemies should get huge.
They won't be harder though. This is a cool cheat, but has
no effect. Submitted by Hank Grungey
If You Are Playing A Map With Plenty Of Water:
----------------------------------------------
Stay(walk) near shore or on the shallow, use heavy demo ship
to bomb them! One heavy demo ship can take out at least 20
infantry, monks, archers or light cavalry with it, or sevaral
scorpions and onagers. Two can take out Knights, camels and
trebuchets. Three can take out rams. Do not use them to bomb
elephant, it is to costly unless you have too many resources.

i reckon all the cheat i read of it for on line is useless
this is how you attack effectively:
if you playing one on one explore blackforest map then in dark age
use one vileges to build house to rise your population"i think every one
know this" the other chop wood then use your scout to find sheep when you
think you find all the sheep then use all the vilages you have to gather
food then use one vilages to build palase wall to boclk his or her exist
then upgrade right away, when you are in fedual age build stone wall at
your palase wall build like 5 layer or more, many as you like. now you
know they cannot rush you without you knowing.then upgared to caste age
then fishned them off
Hint:

Submitted by: Valentin Popescu
If you build a long wall with many gates and your peasants are opening
the gates for your enemies you can block the gates:
--just click on the gate and then clic on the icon
that appears in the left corner so it will be closed
untill you will open'it again. If you close all gates not even your
allies can get resources from your land.

This tip will make an attack without 'attack'. This
is the condition - If you play against computer, you
have a neutral tribe, you have an ally that currently
on a war with that neutral tribe. If ye want to help
your ally do this. Create a group of five villager,
upgrade the Loon tech., create university, advance the
Fortified Wall, and gather stones as much as possible.
Send the Villagers to the ally base and create Fortified
wall nearby the Neutral's building, create 5 or 3 is
recommended! If your 'just made' wall is attacked it's
the main purpose! The next door building will be affect
as well. While they're attacking their own building,
create some more Fortified Wall beside the another
building, eg. Monastery, or even Town Center! -NoCheAt-

Submitted by: Syed Anwar CCC
Always try to build gates instead of walls around your city.They cost the same
but the difference is between their attack chances.If a wall is attacked 1 time,
it is attacked 0.001 times.They will just come and roam near your city outside
but cannot attack your city.Always try to make your city wide open because they
cannot attack the gates but will ataack the incities buildings like houses,barra
cks
and all buildings by means of archers.mangonels and trebuchets and also do not m
ake
towers and castles for defense near your gates because the gates will not be att
acked
and you can progress without defense until you can attack.So your first priority
should be surrounding your city with gates. and capture huge areas and resources
.
BEST LUCK!!!!!

Hint:

Submitted by: sekyere joseph
if you want to gain more resources you need to create more villages.
If the population is 75 you will need not less than 25 villagers so
that the will provide more resources so that you can create more
soldiers for attack.
Before starting a multiplayer game you will have to take a tribe which
has more reserches so that your men and building will be stronger
enough to stand any kind of attacks.

More bases advantage:

---------------------
To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build more than one base.
Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at leas
t
two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the
opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and
confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location an
d
fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your ba
ses
 are located, especially during online play.
Free ally:
----------
When you build a market, there is a chance that a rival tribe will ask you to se
nd
them a certain amount of wood, stone, gold, and food. When they do, click on
"Diplomacy" or press [Alt] + D and click "Ally" on the name of that tribe.
They will become an ally free of charge. However, when you do this you will no
longer be able to align yourself with any other tribes. This is helpful if there
are four tribes in the game.
Save resources:
---------------
When you are allies with others, do not build a market to avoid giving them
resources.
Saving your villagers:
----------------------
Use the following trick to keep your villagers alive while hunting boars. If you
are
in the Castle Age, create some monks and place them near the villagers as the ki
ll
the boar. The monk will continue to replenish the villagers' health as they kill
the
boar.
Easy win:
---------
For easy victory over the CPU under any difficulty setting, place eight to twelv
e
villagers into three control groups. Then, have two control groups working on go
ld
and one working on stone until all of the stone piles and gold piles are gone. N
ext,
build at least two of every building and upgrade everything as fast as possible.
If
done quick enough you should be able to either swarm your enemy or surround him
with
castles.
Explore enemy territory without being attacked:
-----------------------------------------------
Advance to the Feudal age, build a Market, then create a Trade Cart. Use the Tra
de
Cart to safely explore your opponent's territory. If your opponent is neutral, t
hey
will not harm the Trade Cart. Another trick is to create several Trade Carts and
place them evenly across your opponent's area to see everything they are doing,
without having to spend several thousand gold to research Spies/Treason.
Machine Gunners:
----------------
For this cheat your must have CREATED a map with at least one SHAH on it. (to cr
eate
a shah, go to heroes and press "S". Then, play the map and select your sha, brin

ttle
attack.
