Age of Empires 1 Cheat Codes
Age of Empires 1 is the first game in the series, released in 1997. The codes on this page are for the original release and The Rise of Rome expansion from 1998. They all work in the Definitive Edition too; for the details there, see our Age of Empires Definitive Edition cheat codes page.
How do you enter cheats?
During a match, press Enter, type the code and press Enter again. Capitalization doesn't matter. Cheats don't work in the trial version of the game.
- Cheat units appear next to your Town Center. If you don't have a Town Center, or it's advancing to the next age at that moment, the unit won't appear.
- Codes that transform units don't affect units you've converted from the enemy.
- To enter the same code over and over, type it once and copy it with Ctrl+C; after that, Ctrl+V and Enter is all you need each time.
