Cheats for Rise of Nations Gold Edition

Cheat Mode

• Cheat codes need to be entered in cheat mode. To enter cheat mode, pause game play, and a cheat screen will appear. Type in the corresponding cheat, and press the enter key to accept and activate the code.

Instant Construction

• A key part of the game is building empires. The faster you are able to build buildings, the more leverage you have in the community. During normal game play it takes an extended period of time to build, but entering cheat code "cheat finish" will instantly construct the unit you are trying to develop. This is especially helpful in early stages of the game when you need to build shelter, housing and building units quickly.

Full Map

• A full map view allows you to plan out an attack, figure out what areas to take control of and how to move through the game with the least amount of enemy conflict that can jeopardize your empire. Entering cheat code "cheat reveal" will give you access to the full map view, instead of the limited view you are able to see in normal game play.

Kill Unit

• To kill a specific unit, target the area, then enter cheat code "cheat die". This will instantly kill the unit you have selected and is especially helpful in areas of the game with empires that have a significant power status. This code is also useful when entering enemy territory, where you would otherwise be forced to combat with a large group that you might not be able to handle on your own.

Control All Players

• To control all of the players on the map, enter cheat code "cheat sandbox". This will allow you to use players as henchmen, forcing them to kill enemies and do other jobs that you would otherwise have to handle on your own. This will also allow you to control enemies, which you can give a separate task when you're moving through their area and looking to avoid combat.
