Hey ya all,
As you might have known, Age of Empires III has come out. Been playing it since October 10th...
Its cool, wonderful in so many ways. It ROCKS, and moreover i already was a fan of well-made real-time strategy games like AOE3.

Now, the problem is that i got it too soon. tongue.gif
Google searches turn up nothing. Does anyone know any cheats for aoe3 ?
Please post links or the cheats, in here.

Also, do post your thoughts about the game, and how it was, whether u liked it, etc...

The retail version's already out? I thought that was slated for OCtober 18th?
jeeva
I think it's leaked.
Jeremy
Maybe some of them are similar in AOE3 to what they were in AOE1, 2? You could try, might get lucky. For now, I guess you'll have to wait until it's "officially" released (not leaked, lol) and cheats will be posted on every gaming site. tongue.gif

There's nothing illegal that's happening here, now will you please quit saying so repeatedly?

Age Of Empires III [cheats]dit resources:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "proto.xml" file in the "data" directory in the game folder. Note: You may first need to uncheck the "Read Only" attribute of that file's properties in Windows Explorer. Search for the text "CrateOf". You will find CrateofFood, CrateofCoin, CrateofWood, CrateofFoodLarge, CrafteofCoinLarge, and CrateofWoodLarge. For all these entries, find the tag "InitialResourceCount" and change the count to whatever desired. For example, the normal crates each have "100.000" of the resources. You can change the "100" to "99999.000", etc. Make sure you do this for all the crates; sometimes a map will give you a large crate of something, and smaller ones of something else, etc. This works best because every map you play in campaign or skirmish starts you with some "crates" of resources, which your settlers will gather out. This will edit the crates to have huge amounts of resources in them. However, it still takes a long time to get the resources out of the crate for the settlers, because there are so many. If you are impatient, search for "Settler" in the "proto.xml" file and find the tag for GatherCrate. Change the value to whatever desired, preferably something very high (for example, "99999"). They will pull the resources out of the crate instantly.

Bah... want a real challenge? Try beating CivII on Deity on a large map. tongue.gif

I did that when I was 14. newwink.gif

Darn, AoE3 always seems to not quit properly. Need to end-task it everytime, else see task manager lose count of 300 MB of memory sad.gif.... Anyways, here i am, back with a few fun strategies for you all! newwink.gif

The next 2 are for skirmishes against the game AI (not campaign), and applies to ALL versions of the game:

1. Behaving barbaric is satisfying, for the barbarian, and frustrating to the person you are playing against. This is the "rush" strategy - assemble a sizeable military right in the beginning, and attack your enemy. But it could also be suicidal as you lose valuable resource-gathering time.

2. Another way to irritate your opponent - at the time you go to attack, try as much as possible, to focus on the villagers & houses & town-center - destroy/kill only these units. Easy way to subdue an enemy without losing out too many units, right? newwink.gif The result is that your enemy may attack you, but he is already badly crippled. Why?
Because no villagers/settlers remain, to BUILD new buildings. And lack of houses will diminish his population limit to almost zero. So now he will have to carefully think twice before attacking you, as whatever military units & buildings he currently has, is all thats left.
In other words, he will just quietly keep away from you, while YOU improve your town, or while you are engaged with fighting another player.



This THIRD strategy is fantastic fun!
3. In AoE3, start a skirmish (deathmatch) against computer AI. Have yourself alone on team1, and 3 other AI players on team2. Set the skill level to max (expert). Now, as soon as game begins, concentrate on building walls around your town-center, with a bit of space left for buildings. Also leave a gap in the wall, because that way enemy soldiers try to get through that - otherwise they try to break the wall all over. Thats it, now press enter & type "tuck tuck tuck" to get a killer car. Position it at the wall-opening. Now you're ready for the FLOOD. Enter the cheat-code "speed always wins", and enjoy.....
What happens? Nothing, just a few thousands of enemy soldiers & cavalry & cannons try to take over your territory (the "speed" thingie allows all players to produce any number of units instantly, without the normal waiting/building time). newwink.gif
You keep making more cars & try to fight them off - the fight is on a MASSIVE epic scale!
Nightlord
I just got the game and I have to tell you... forget the ground troops. Band together an Army of cannons... make some popcorn... then sit back and watch the show. I call it, "Bowling for Popcorn". Every time a soldier flies through the air, I get to eat. thumbup.gif
I'm a very simple man and the mere sight of those poor footsoldiers and calvary units getting bowled over by cannonballs just makes my day.
