How do I use cheats?
In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Cheats can be used in Skirmish and Campaign Missions. To use a cheat players only need to bring up the chat box by pressing the 'Enter' key. Once the chat box is open, you can enter the cheat code of your choice and then press enter again to activate it.
I've copy-pasted a Cheat into chat but it's not working in game, what do I do?
If you are copying & pasting your cheat codes, please make sure remove any extra spaces that may have accidently been included. If there are any extra spaces then the cheat will not work.
