It's no secret that Age of Empires 2 is a rather complicated game. Every now and then you will suffer from a shortage of important resources necessary for building buildings, ordering units and researching new technologies. Moreover, the computer opponent will also not let you get bored, now and then making unexpected attacks on your cities.
Fortunately, there are cheats for Age of Empires 2, thanks to which you can make the passage of the game not so difficult. It is about them that we will discuss later.
Using Codes
For a start - a little theoretical information. Not everyone knows about this, but in order to use cheat codes in Age of Empires 2, it is enough to do the following:
- Press the Enter key. Thus, you will open a chat window in which you can write messages to other players (in network mode) or enter secret codes.
- Now enter the code that you want to use in the window.
- Press Enter again.
By the way, this operation can be performed at any time of the game, so cheats will allow you to get out of a difficult situation if you get into it.
Resources
Well, now, actually, about the cheats themselves for Age of Empires 2. This section contains codes that add you an impressive amount of a resource:

- ROBIN HOOD - instantly gives 1000 gold.
- CHEESE STEAK JIMMY'S - enter this code and you will get a thousand food.
