Age of Empires 2 Cheat Codes

With two decades of immense popularity, Age of Empires 2 is still going strong with a dedicated audience who just can’t get enough of the game. We bet you have put a fair number of hours into this game and while some of you are happy with the features the game comes with, others would love to experience features they keep hearing about but can’t find. Well, that’s because these features are only accessible via the Command Console, features like spawning, winning the game instantly, earning gold, and obtaining units like the penguin unit which is a fun, powerful unit of well, penguins. With more than 25 cheat codes, you can add that touch of new again to the game.

But in order to access cheat codes, you need to know how to access the cheat console. You can simply press the ENTER key on your keyboard and the console will pop up. You can type in the cheat code in the console and press ENTER again to send the command. One thing to note is that while the cheat codes are not case sensitive as in some other games, you need to make sure the spellings are correct and that includes the punctuation marks like apostrophes.

Some cheat codes only work with the specific DLCs and some are exclusive to the HD edition of Age of Empires 2. These codes have a tag that indicates that.

In Multiplayer mode, the ‘’Enable Cheats’’ tick box in the right lower corner must be checked for the cheats to work.
