Unlimited Unlock Points in Single player: ----------------------------------------- Submitted by: saffan shahid Open the sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml file located in My DocumentsMy GamesAge of Empires 3Savegame (dont forget to make a backup of this file) find this line . The line should look like this xx, where x is the number of skillpoints you currently have. Change the xx to a high number such as 999, save the file and start Age of Empires 3.

Easy Leveling in Single Player: ------------------------------- Submitted by: saffan shahid Open the sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml file in the My DocumentsMy GamesAge of Empires 3Savegame (dont forget to make a back up first) folder, search for . You will see something like this xx, put in 99 for the xx, save the file, go into the game and play a skirmish. Now you are level 99 ! Edit resources: --------------- Submitted by: saffan shahid Use a text editor to edit the "proto.xml" file in the "data" directory in the game folder. Note: You may first need to uncheck the "Read Only" attribute of that file's properties in Windows Explorer. Search for the text "CrateOf". You will find CrateofFood, CrateofCoin, CrateofWood, CrateofFoodLarge, CrafteofCoinLarge, and CrateofWoodLarge. For all these entries, find the tag "InitialResourceCount" and change the count to whatever desired. For example, the normal crates each have "100.000" of the resources. You can change the "100" to "99999.000", etc. Make sure you do this for all the crates; sometimes a map will give you a large crate of something, and smaller ones of something else, etc. This works best because every map you play in campaign or skirmish starts you with some "crates" of resources, which your settlers will gather out. This will edit the crates to have huge amounts of resources in them. However, it still takes a long time to get the resources out of the crate for the settlers, because there are so many. If you are impatient, search for "Settler" in the "proto.xml" file and find the tag for GatherCrate. Change the value to whatever desired, preferably something very high (for example, "99999"). They will pull the resources out of the crate instantly. Description: Get up to 44 cards in your deck!: ---------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Wouter Wessendorp Cheat Type: Secret - Non-obvious in-game tricks or hidden features to ease or enhance gameplay It's quite simple: Go to My Documents\\My Games\\Age of Empires 3\\Savegame open the "sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml" (make sure you back up this file) and find the line [activetechs] This are all the cards you can use in the game. For Example: I copy my tag: [tech dbid =\"2030\"]HCExtensiveFortifications[/tech] I paste this tag between the tags: [cards] [/cards] After that, i change the tag [tech into [card and [/tech] into [/card] Save the file and open the game. Play a skirmish game and you'll notice that you have 21/20 cards! You can do this with every card you have aviable. The only problem we have is the fact that you can't have more than 11 different cards of age 1,2,3,4. So you'll have to find out which cards are for what age.

Submited by Tan Bui God-like heroes: ---------------- This is similar to the "Edit resources" trick, except only your side benefits not the CPU as well. This trick will enable your hero character to move very fast on the map; have lots of hit points; destroy any enemy unit/building in one click; etc. Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "proto.xml" file in the "data" directory in the game folder. Search for your hero's first name plus "SPC". For example, for "Amelia", it is "SPCAmelia". You should find something that looks like the following: [/Unit] [Unit id ='458' name ='SPCAmelia'] The XML tags of interests are as follows: [MaxVelocity]5.0000[/MaxVelocity] [MaxRunVelocity]7.0000[/MaxRunVelocity] [TurnRate]18.0000[/TurnRate] [InitialHitpoints]850.0000[/InitialHitpoints] [MaxHitpoints]850.0000[/MaxHitpoints] [LOS]24.0000[/LOS] [ProtoAction] [Name]BuildingAttack[/Name] [Damage]14.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Siege[/DamageType] [ROF]3.000000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]DoubleBarrelAttack[/Name] [Damage]750.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Ranged[/DamageType] [MaxRange]16.000000[/MaxRange] [ROF]3.000000[/ROF] [DamageArea]1.000000[/DamageArea] [DamageFlags]GAIAEnemy[/DamageFlags] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]HandAttack[/Name] [Damage]14.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Hand[/DamageType] [ROF]1.500000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]MusketAttack[/Name] [Damage]16.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Ranged[/DamageType] [MaxRange]16.000000[/MaxRange] [ROF]3.000000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] Change the above values to create a super hero, as follows. [MaxVelocity]50.0000[/MaxVelocity] [MaxRunVelocity]70.0000[/MaxRunVelocity] [TurnRate]68.0000[/TurnRate] [InitialHitpoints]99999.0000[/InitialHitpoints] [MaxHitpoints]99999.0000[/MaxHitpoints] [LOS]99.0000[/LOS] [ProtoAction] [Name]BuildingAttack[/Name] [Damage]9999.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Siege[/DamageType] [ROF]1.000000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]DoubleBarrelAttack[/Name] [Damage]9999.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Ranged[/DamageType] [MaxRange]50.000000[/MaxRange] [ROF]1.000000[/ROF] [DamageArea]1.000000[/DamageArea] [DamageFlags]GAIAEnemy[/DamageFlags] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]HandAttack[/Name] [Damage]9999.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Hand[/DamageType] [ROF]1.500000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] [ProtoAction] [Name]MusketAttack[/Name] [Damage]9999.000000[/Damage] [DamageType]Ranged[/DamageType] [MaxRange]50.000000[/MaxRange] [ROF]1.000000[/ROF] [/ProtoAction] Note: Do not set the any of the [MaxVelocity], [MaxRunVelocity], or [TurnRate] values too high. This will cause your character to "jump" instantly from one spot to the next because their movement speed is so fast. This makes it difficult to move/track your character around the map. The [ROF]> or rate of fire should be set to a low value. This acts as a delay. The lower the value, the lesser the delay. Note: You can test your changes while the game is running. Just save the current game. Switch over to your text editor. Make changes to proto.xml. Save proto.xml. Switch back to the game, then reload saved game. Invincible units: ----------------- Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "proto.xml" file in the "data" directory in the game folder. Find a the heading for a unit in the file (for example, "Explorer"). Locate the area below the heading that starts with the [Flag] tags. Add a new line under that area with: [Flag]Invulnerable[/Flag] [Flag]DoNotDieAtZeroHitpoints[/Flag] Easy experience points: ----------------------- To get easy experience for your home town, start a skirmish. Choose the sandbox difficulty setting and the smallest map. Win the game the fastest way possible. You will receive the usual experience, but can do this as many times as desired, resulting in lots of experience in a short amount of time. If desired, you also use the cheats to win the game easier. Easy win: --------- Upgrade Hussars fully and make fifty of them, subtracting one for every other unit you want to take. They are skilled at siege and combat and should annihilate your opponent. Only do this if you do not want to use many cheats. It is a good idea to enable the speed always wins code, as fifty Hussars can take a long time to be created. Easy cavalry: ------------- The Lakota have a research which lets you make cavalry either instantly or very fast. This useful if you play the French because you can make a huge army of cuirassiers very quickly. Revealing the entire map: ------------------------- Save your game and resign. The map will be shown to you as if you had lost. Then, just load the game and keep playing. Note that the map will be shown only between clicking to resign and choosing to quit. It will not continue like this when you start the loaded game. Leveling up your home city: --------------------------- To easily level up your home city, start playing a Skirmish mode game. The moment the game starts, enable the nova & orion code two or three times. Then, press the "Home City" button. The amount of XP in the top of the screen should be red. If this happens, just resign or finish playing the game. Placing objects close together in the editor: --------------------------------------------- If you are having trouble placing two items close together because the editor will not allow it, press "Move Object" and move the object to where ever desired. You can do anything, such as putting a building in the water. Creating a large army in the editor: ------------------------------------ To make a huge army quickly in the scenario editor, first create a group of units. Select them and press [Ctrl] + C. Then, press [Ctrl] + V and you will be able to place all of the selected units. This also can be done when making city blocks.
