So, you want some Age of Empires 3 cheats? Whether you’re still rocking the original version of the popular RTS game, or have upgraded to the shinier Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, there is still a modest selection of cheat codes you can use if you fancy giving yourself a leg up.

There’s honestly not many, so this is a very short and sweet guide, but on the bright side unlike using Age of Empire 2 cheats, you won’t be prevented from gaining any achievements (as far as we can tell, anyway) if you use any of the codes below. If you own the Asian Dynasties expansion, there is a separate list of cheats you can use there as well.

To use Age of Empires 3 cheats is a doddle – simply press the ENTER key to bring up the chat box, then input one of the codes below and watch the magic happen. Note that a couple of the cheats below benefit all players, not just yourself, so be careful what you wish for. Thanks to the Age of Empires 3 wiki for help.
