What Are The Age Of Empires II: The Conquerors Cheats?

Ah, 'Age of Empires II: The Conquerors'—what a nostalgia trip! I spent countless hours strategizing and occasionally... well, cheating my way to victory when things got too tough. The cheats in this expansion are legendary, and they range from the downright silly to the game-breaking. My personal favorite was always 'how do you turn this on,' which spawns a ridiculously overpowered convertible car with a machine gun. It’s completely out of place in a medieval RTS, but that’s what makes it so hilarious. Another classic is 'rock on,' which gives you 1,000 stone, perfect for when you’re scrambling to build those last few castles.

Then there’s 'lumberjack,' which dumps 1,000 wood into your inventory, and 'cheese steak jimmy’s' for 1,000 food. These were lifesavers during those tense moments when resources were running low. For a quick military boost, 'robin hood' grants you 1,000 gold, and 'marco' reveals the entire map—no more fog of war to slow you down. And who could forget 'aegis,' the instant-build cheat? Watching your entire base spring up in seconds never got old, though it did feel a bit like cheating (because, well, it was).

I’ll admit, using these too often could ruin the challenge, but they were perfect for messing around in custom games with friends. There’s something undeniably fun about spawning a horde of giant warbirds with 'wimpywimpywimpy' or turning your villagers into death machines with 'i love the monkey head.' The sheer absurdity of some of these codes is what made 'The Conquerors' such a blast to revisit. Even now, I’ll sometimes fire up a solo game just to relive the chaos. It’s like a secret playground hidden inside one of the greatest strategy games ever made.
