Tips When Using Age of Empires Cheats
- A Town center is required for cheat codes that summon units.
- Units you summon using cheats will spawn near the recently built Town center (Only if you built multiple).
- Cheat Units can not be spawned if the Town center is researching a new Age.
- Cheats will not prevent you from earning achievement in contrast to Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition.
