NEW Cheats in AoE2! (Return of Rome)

[Music] hello everyone and welcome back to age of noob today we'll be looking at the new cheats that will be available to use in the return of Rome game mode in Asia vampires 2. well they are new in the sense that they all receive the definitive treatment finally and that they weren't able to be used in AOE 2's engine before so without further Ado let's hop right in alright first of all I'd like to address a common question many players have been asking if cheats can be used interchangeably between game modes and the answer is yes and no in the typical Age of Empires 2 game mode that we've all been playing against so far absolutely none of the new cheats will work so you're limited to only aoe2 cheats here in the return of roam game mode however it's a bit weird aoe2 cheats do work here but only those that do not summon units for example you can use reveal map and no fog from aoe1 or Marco and Polo from aoe2 and they do the same thing same thing goes with cheats that give you resources like coinage for the OG gold cheat and Robin Hood from aoe2 both of these work just fine however when I type how do you turn this on or Furious the monkey boy they don't work so it seems like the devs disabled aoe2 unit spawns alright with that out of the way let's go through the list of aoe1 cheats that you can use in Return of Rome pepperoni pizza Woodstock coinage and Quarry are your food wood gold and stone cheats that provide 10 000 of each regarding instantly dying or killing players you have a few options harikari deletes all of your units and buildings effectively making you resign quit game simply makes you resign kill followed by the player number kills all units and buildings of set player and died I died does the same but for all players King Arthur changes all birds in-game to these badass dragons there's no function here it's purely cosmetic I'm pretty sure someone will be able to create a mod of this so we can install it and use it on all of our games the original from 1998 changed the dragon so this bright red color which I prefer to be honest but hey gray dragons look okay too as discussed reveal map and nofog work identically as Marco and Polo respectively in Age of Empires 2. you can use whichever you want on that same token steroids is identical to what Aegis does in Age of Empires 2 which are instant building researching training and resource collection so yes both steroids and ages work interchangeably in Return of Rome Gaia makes you control all guy units in the game so it's mostly the animals let me warn you though once you've used this sheet there's no way of going back for the entire game you'll be just stuck controlling animals I'll learn this the hard way when I was a kid okay let's cover unit altering cheats now hoyohoyo was one of my favorites growing up and I remember using it in the first voices of Babylon campaign with your starting priest basically your priest gets a ridiculous movement speed and gets a whopping 600 hp they basically become unkillable if you spam multiple of them where they convert heal and cause chaos overall Black Rider turns your horse archers into well black writers keep in mind that black writers stats are not really that impressive but what makes them special is that when they die they turn into heavy catapults so turning your heavy horse archers to Black Riders is still okay because they provide more value once they die Medusa takes this chain back to the villagers with this cheat your villagers are supposed to lose their ability to build and repair but they turn into a Black Rider when they die as we've covered before the Black Rider also turns into a heavy catapult once he dies as usual even if you didn't use the Black Rider cheat prior to this that's said I think this cheat code is bugged in the original game all villagers had this condition applied to them but for some reason this only works for one villager in Rise of Rome and not the rest writing the code again also does nothing after that I've sent a message to the devs regarding this for hopefully a fix in the future ICBM is a fun one as it turns your ballistas to 100 range monsters so they start attacking from halfway across the map Flying Dutchman turns your juggernauts into Flying Dutchman and even though stats wise they are very similar The Flying Dutchman can actually go through land and water alike they look pretty funny as they're almost as fast as most calorie units Big Bertha changes your catapults into big berthas which are slightly stronger in everywhere compared to heavy catapults and they have an absolutely massive blast radius take a look [Music] and finally dark rain this cheat reminds me of the Mirage tank in Red Alert 2 in which they would turn to trees when they were stationary the same applies here but only for composite Bowman they're pretty bad units in the late game but hey you can create a moving forest and raid your opponents unexpectedly I guess that said do keep in mind that your composite Bowman can still be seen as units on the minimap so if your opponent is paying attention then though something is there for sure alright with all those out of the way let's get into the best ones which are the summoning cheats Photon man is a cheat that is now available in Age of Empires 1 2 and 4 now so all of you should already know how he works now just in case you've been living under a rock though this bad boy shoots lasers from a healthy distance and runs pretty fast too in fact he runs significantly faster than the cataphract so keep that in mind the more powerful cousin of photon man is equals to MC squared Trooper in the original game both Photon man and the trooper have the same Unit Model so you couldn't differentiate them but the devs have designed a brand new look for the trooper so it's a very clear now who is who this man has a ridiculous 88 range and a whopping 300 attack that has also a blast radius you'll have a tough time even following his laser shot fly across the map that said he can only shoot once every five to six seconds though so he has a very high reload time storm Billy summons the Zuck 209 which is a mechanized robot that shoots lasers it has modestats at 15 range and 20 attack but it can attack quite quickly that said I'm kind of disappointed that the effects and sounds have not been worked on as the original had special sounds and muzzle animations for it alas we got more of the same effects here convert this summons the hero Saint Francis who is the priest that instead of converting units absolutely obliterates them with a lightning from above that said he is super squishy at only 25 HP so killing him with range units or Towers is pretty easy he does have a very fast attack rate though so he can easily take on quite a few melee units charging at him and no the cheat code hoyohoyo does not work on him unfortunately so you can't make a super fast super tanky Saint Francis I'm afraid the cheat code pow doesn't work for some reason just like the other bug that I found out we've let the devs be aware of this so they should hopefully fix this in a future patch for those of you who don't know this cheat code is probably the most hilarious out of the bunch possibly within the entire Age of Empires franchise Powell spawned a unit called Baby Prez who was essentially an adult-sized baby on a ridiculously fast tricycle yielding a massive shotgun that fired like a semi-automatic the unit also made baby noises as you instructed him around and the shotgun sounds were pretty well done for its time I mean the muzzle flash and all looked great as well this is what I meant regarding the Zuck 209 as well by the way as it had its unique laser sounds and effect as you can see here oh and finally Big Daddy Big Daddy spawns the unit winset Z which is basically a race car driver and a sweet ride who drives with one hand and shoots a freaking missile with the other he does 300 damage has 15 range and expectedly is very fast even though he doesn't have the 88 range he takes about half the time to reload as the trooper does which is nice the Forgotten Empire's logo as a decal on the hood is also a nice touch big mama is the same unit but in white that being said big mama attacks much faster at less than a second per rocket but his base damage is only 60 compared to the 300 of the Big Daddy also do keep in mind that there is no space between big and daddy in Big Daddy but there is with big mama I'm not sure why these weren't standardized but they were set like that all the way back in 1998 over two decades ago well that's all you need to know about the upcoming cheats in the return of Rome DLC for Age of Empires 2. I really like that the devs took the time to redo these cheats properly this time around compared to avde which ones do you like the most let us know in the comments below as always thanks for watching everyone be sure to subscribe if you want more AOE content and see you all in the next one [Music]
