Make three of them your allies, and four enemies. Start the game and go to the third button from the top right corner. Put check marks next to all your allies and click on "Food Please", "Wood Please", "Stone Please" or "Gold Please" in the box below. The only resource your allies will not give you is gold. Hint: More bases advantage: --------------------------- To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build more than one base. Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at least two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your bases are located, especially during online play. Free ally: ---------- When you build a market, there is a chance that a rival tribe will ask you to send them a certain amount of wood, stone, gold, and food. When they do, click on "Diplomacy" or press [Alt] + D and click "Ally" on the name of that tribe. They will become an ally free of charge. However, when you do this you will no longer be able to align yourself with any other tribes. This is helpful if there are four tribes in the game.

One heavy demo ship can take out at least 20 infantry, monks, archers or light cavalry with it, or sevaral scorpions and onagers. Two can take out Knights, camels and trebuchets.

Note: Theres you need two Town Centers to create these units Hint: ----- Submitted by: Syed Anwar CCC Always try to build gates instead of walls around your city.They cost the same but the difference is between their attack chances.If a wall is attacked 1 time, it is attacked 0.001 times.They will just come and roam near your city outside but cannot attack your city.Always try to make your city wide open because they cannot attack the gates but will ataack the incities buildings like houses,barracks and all buildings by means of archers.mangonels and trebuchets and also do not make towers and castles for defense near your gates because the gates will not be attacked and you can progress without defense until you can attack.So your first priority should be surrounding your city with gates. and capture huge areas and resources. BEST LUCK!!!!! Cheat: ------ Submitted by: Chandramouli type "furious the monkey boy"in the chatbox by pressing enter key.

Hint: ----- Submitted by: sekyere joseph if you want to gain more resources you need to create more villages. If the population is 75 you will need not less than 25 villagers so that the will provide more resources so that you can create more soldiers for attack. Before starting a multiplayer game you will have to take a tribe which has more reserches so that your men and building will be stronger enough to stand any kind of attacks.

Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at least two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your bases are located, especially during online play. Free ally: ---------- When you build a market, there is a chance that a rival tribe will ask you to send them a certain amount of wood, stone, gold, and food. When they do, click on "Diplomacy" or press [Alt] + D and click "Ally" on the name of that tribe. They will become an ally free of charge. However, when you do this you will no longer be able to align yourself with any other tribes. This is helpful if there are four tribes in the game. Save resources: --------------- When you are allies with others, do not build a market to avoid giving them resources. Saving your villagers: ---------------------- Use the following trick to keep your villagers alive while hunting boars. If you are in the Castle Age, create some monks and place them near the villagers as the kill the boar. The monk will continue to replenish the villagers' health as they kill the boar. Easy win: --------- For easy victory over the CPU under any difficulty setting, place eight to twelve villagers into three control groups. Then, have two control groups working on gold and one working on stone until all of the stone piles and gold piles are gone. Next, build at least two of every building and upgrade everything as fast as possible. If done quick enough you should be able to either swarm your enemy or surround him with castles. Explore enemy territory without being attacked: ----------------------------------------------- Advance to the Feudal age, build a Market, then create a Trade Cart. Use the Trade Cart to safely explore your opponent's territory. If your opponent is neutral, they will not harm the Trade Cart. Another trick is to create several Trade Carts and place them evenly across your opponent's area to see everything they are doing, without having to spend several thousand gold to research Spies/Treason. Machine Gunners: ---------------- For this cheat your must have CREATED a map with at least one SHAH on it. (to create a shah, go to heroes and press "S". Then, play the map and select your sha, bring it over to an enemy unit / building (preferably a house) and right click on that object. The shah will begin attacking it! The only drawback is that the shah has very little attack. More Bases Advantage: --------------------- To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build more than one base. Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at least two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your bases is located, especially during online play. GameTip: -------- Submitted by: Arindam Jana,Avik Barman,Bishruta Sen,Sanchaan Santra. E-mail: grayfox_ninja@rediffmail.com To Play With Allies: -------------------- Play Single Player - Random Map ,With Difficulty - Easiest, With At Least Other Players - 3, With Reveal Map - Normal, Starting Age - Standard, Victory - Standard & Tick the Team Together, the All Techs & Don't tick Lock Teams. At the starting of the game messages will appear like that - "X Changed diplomatic stance with you to neutral." (x= Other players) Then Open the Diplomacy(ALT-D) Screen,Change other player stance to neutral. Thus in next age when you have a market,messages will apper for make ally by giving some 100 resources of food,wood,gold or stone. paiding so you will be able to make ally with other players. Cheat: ------ Submitted by: kevin Dont build walls build watch towers infront of this "watch tower wall" build a castle. Walk on water: -------------- Create a scenario and make all allies and enemies as desired, but have at least two enemies. Make the map have water and build an enemy bridge or go to a campaign with a bridge (for example, Attila the Hun). Enable the torpedo code, followed by the number of whatever player it is with a bridge. The bridge will disappear. Then, click a unit and walk on the "bridge". Cheat: ------ Submitted by: The Joker Press/Type "qwerty" (no space) on the keyboard at the same time and you can edit the colours of the buildings and people. Cheat: ------ Submitted by: Woogey Type "furious the monkey boy" gives you an awesome little dude, able to raze everything in his way, a lot more efficient than cars. Confuse enemys: --------------- When you start the game the game in a hard level, the enemy might attack pretty quickly and destroy your village before you have a chance to build your resources. Just enter all the food,wood,stone and gold cheats and advance to the imperial age. Then send a couple of your villagers (and units to guard the villagers) to a blank corner of the map and build a wall around one of the villagers. If your village gets destroyed just destroy the stone wall and get the villager in there to build a new and secret base. This will confuse your enemys in to tyhinking you are destroyed. Easy win: --------- First, make as many allies as possible. Advance through as many ages as you can to upgrade all your units. Make sure you can build Towers and Castles. Next, go directly next to your ally's main city and surround it with towers. Build a castle every so often on your way from your city to theirs, so they cannot counterattack. Next, build up an army of siege weapons (for the buildings) and cavalry (for everyone else), and position them inside your ally's city. Finally, switch them to "Enemy", sit back, and watch the city crumble. Tip when fighting the AI: ------------------------- You can take advantage of the AI in AoK by building a wall around your entire base except for a small and heavily fortified opening, the AI will only enter through the opening you left and will get slaughtered if you have archers. You can go further by making a maze- like entrance which will increase the time the enemy spends getting fired upon. Your own history: ----------------- You can change what the history section says in the Aok title Screen says by right clicking on the Aok icon and click on find target and when the windows opens click on history and edit the any notepad file the check out the history section on the Aok title screen and it should say what you typed into the notepad file.Unfortunately you cannot change the name of the topic for example if you edited the Britons it will still say Britons. ES Logo in Mission: ------------------- This is just something I found out. In mission one of the William Wallace campaign, if you type in the reveal map cheat code (Marco) you will see the ES logo on the west side of the map. Fortress, Which Can Never Be Taken: ----------------------------------- To make a fort which will never, ever be taken by the enemy, you need to set up a game in 'the black forest' as the name sugests, you start in...a very large forest, with a small village depending on what settings you have chosen(i personably would chose death match, as you get lots of resources.) any way, you need to make sure you have a onager, or something whcih can destroy lots of trees very quikely. you then start tunneling into the trees, making walls and gates along the way. put towers with archers behing each gate, and make large areas where you can put castles, barracs, churchs ect and town centres. no matter how hard your enemy tries, they can never get through the walls. This tactic will take about 1 hour. Easy taunts: ------------ Type in the number that appears next to the taunt to access it easily (for example, "Long time, no siege" and "Don't point that thing at me"). Ultimate Wall defense: ---------------------- Submitted by: Legomaster241 (The hint ahead requires a large amount of stone and wood so use the above cheats to help you is you need to) OK! When you get to the Feudal Age, make sure to build walls all around you, even on the water's edge (in a straight line if possible)! This will make sure that the enemy doesn't land his troops and gives you time to attack him. When the wall is still in construction, go ahead and build 2 or 3 gates, spaced apart preferably. Then build 3 gates directly behind the ones you just built to add more of a defense. Then build 3 towers to the left and right of each gate then put 1 Bombard tower at the end of each. repeat this until it covers the entire wall, even by the water to take out those pesky little galleons. Now basically do the reverse which is to say that instead of towers, they'll be Bombard's and vice-versa. When that's done, finish it off with a wall as the inner coating to seal those towers in. The purpose of this is that if the enemy is lucky enough not only to break through the first wall and the tower but also the B-towers as well, you have some insurance to hold them off a little longer. Normally, you would not need to constantly repair the towers unless the wall broke allowing the enemy to attack them, but sometimes they may use a trebuchet to get at you, and a ram and even a catapult. How to have instant resource,construction and spawning: ------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Ethan To build ultra fast (works with enemy) press (Enter) during gameplay, type in aegis cheat code and you can have instant resources and construction.NOTE:This also works with ally/enemy teams as well. And it dosen't work on the demo version. Kill the enemy: --------------- Submitted by: topcat102 ok when you want to kill your enemy and it stronger than youjust take a few villgers and take them near your enemys base and biuld two of each building and load all the units buildings up whith each type of unit and then cut the wood down whith you villgers and ambush your enemy and so on trick: press enter and type this[aegis] and that cheat makes you units fast. Cobra car destructor: --------------------- Submitted by: Guz You enter tha chat board by pressing enter, then you type the cheat "HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON" after that you will have a cobra car in your town center. See the enemy: -------------- Submitted by: delo To see what the enemy are doing to gain an advantage you go to settings and select reveal map then you can see the whole map enemies and all. Tips: ----- Submitted by: shkade when you make your civilization ,you should always make it secure by constring walls so that the enemy cannot come inside your civililation.try building keeps,castles and murder holes near your walls so that if enemy comes near your society he gets killed by the attacks of these.you should not usually keep on attacking the men and buldings inside the enemy's civilization as they can produce no. of buildings and men again and again as the have unlimited resources. so send your vilager inside your enemy's civilizattion and construct walls as enemies don't kill your villagers. you can therefore kill the buildings and men inside the wall. In this way you can win territories and also destroy enemy. Samurai nuke: ------------- Submitted by: Chris The Japanese samurai unit is very powerful once fully upgraded, if you get 10 capped rams and put 4 samurai in each any town will fall. To do this you can accompany the capped rams with cavalry and target your enemies town centre and castles, once they are destroyed let loose your samurai and watch as they destroy everything. How to create tough protection: ------------------------------- Submitted by: Pranav Suneel Gangathade. You should built walls for protection.But for strong security you should built towers behind the walls leaving no space towers wall. And you should place many military units in-front of the gates. Then no any enemy units can come in your area. If any problem send me email on - pranavgangathade@gmail.com Elite Cannon Galleons: ---------------------- Submitted by: K.C.M. If your map has a lot of water on it, create a bunch of Elite Cannon Galleons and then you can bombard your enemies shores from a safe distance before you land troops. If your enemy has ships and docks destroy those first using faster more powerful ships.
