Age Of Empires 4: How to Use Cheats

The gameplay in Age of Empires 4 is well-designed and engaging, but sometimes players just want to enjoy its most dynamic features rather than spend a long time mining resources and creating new units or buildings. Fortunately, the developers have created an opportunity to accelerate this process with cheats, which this guide will explain in detail.

Below, players can learn about various useful and fun features that everyone can try. For example, the game offers the ability to replace the standard attack sound with the attack notification from Age of Empires 2, or gamers can get all the resources they need to build an entire metropolis. Age of Empires 4 fans can learn about these and more features from this guide.

How to Use Cheat Codes in Age of Empires 4

To use cheat codes, gamers must play a campaign or a skirmish match against a bot. When creating a game, the player should go to the Game Mode tab and enable cheats using the "Cheats allowed" button. Then, during the game, it will be enough to press Enter to open a game chat where players can enter cheat codes.
