Defeating your enemies with Arbalest:
-------------------------------------

You can easily defeat any infantry from i.e.(Elite Teutonic Knight to Militia)
using your Arbalests. To accomplish this you must build an archery camp research
the archer to crossbowman and then to arbalest. These Arbalests when fully
researched e.g. (Carthaginian Tactics) are extremely powerful in range attack
and somewhat weak in combat. Just create 15 arbalests, Double-Click any one to
select all of them and just Right-Click to attack any enemy infantry or cavalry.
When our men they will come nearer to attack the enemy infantry attack the
arbalests. Since the arbalests are more in number the enemy infantry will die
on their way when trying to reach our men. The arbalests have very long range
so that they can easily kill the infantry and siege units. If they (enemies)
follow this technique it will be a problem to you so please be quicker.
If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Hint:
-----

On the mill you will find an icon saying "reseed farm". Now select the mill then
press F3(game is paused)then see if you have enough wood then start clicking on
the icon.after sometime stop clicking.then press F3 again.you will have lots of
reseeds in the list.this will help you concentrate on the game than giving your
villagers farms again and again.

Hint:
-----

You should always study the tech tree and see the specialites of your civilization
and always scout the enemy base and study their base.If you lose a game then you
should think how did my enemy win, how did I lose? Think over it and don't make
the same mistake next time.

Hint:
-----

You should always build walls and towers to protect yourself and always place walls
from one forest to another, never build walls from one mine to forest or mine to mine
or forage bush to mine otherwise when you have collected all the resources in the mine
that part of the wall will become open and the enemy will enter as soon as the wall
has become open.

Wonder Hint:
------------
If you want to see all the wonders of the civilizations, go to create a scenario and
you can place the wonder. Again change your civilization, and place the wonder and
you will see theirs. Otherwise, select the 'Defend the Wonder' option under Standard
Game and you can change the civilization and see their respective wonder!

Here are the 4 best civilizations is this order:
------------------------------------------------

Mongols
Celts
Persians
Britons

TO WIN BATTLES:

Hint:
-----
Bigger doesn't always better...they said. If you wanted to win a war (in multiplayer
game) you should plan your tactical and political skills. You could 'use' your ally
as your defensif structure and then after you almost defeat your enemy, change your
diplomatic stances to your ally as enemy after your troops get in their town center
and the attack and demolish your ally and then you could be the single leader.

Hints:
------
Take time to study the new civilizations and their
technologies through the tech tree in the game.

You can garrison units inside siege rams, which helps protect them against missile
weapons. This is very handy when you're trying to storm enemy walls.
Definitely use the farm queue; it'll cut down on your micromanagement of farmers.
Just be careful; 75 pieces of wood get used every time you queue a farm.

This is more of a proggramming thingy:
--------------------------------------

-go into the msdos-type C:
-press enter-type dir\p *or* dir/p
-push enter
-look for the dir of aoe2 game file
-type it in
-push enter
-now type in the following:

/(edit)(.exe)aoecon)/runtime/error/bypss-prot/longrunedit/(exe.)
file/gheus/con//:(*>allunit

Hint:
-----

IN ur mill there is a reseed farm button normally u can have a list of only 15
farms. Now here is the best part.When u click on the mill press F3 button of ur
keyboard.The game is paused. Now press "F" button on ur keyboard to enlist farms.
Keep on pressing to ur hearts content, if u had kept on pressing fer someime u
will find that u hv no list. The point is that u set up such a big list of farms
that the computer is unable to show it. IMPORTANT-u better hv lots of wood.

Hint:
-----

While creating units or reseeding farms we have to click a lot of times.So while
creating units or reseeding farms press shift and then click to creat an unit or
reseeding farms.It will create or reseed 5 units or farms.

Hint:
-----

Now,to easily destroy all enemy buildings,create a large number of patards
(saboteur unit),group them and sneak them into enemy's base.take them to important
buildings but make sure you don't go to near military units. Guide them and attack
the building.8-10 patards can destroy a castle,town center &other strong buildings.
Create many,Destroy all!Good luck!

Hint:
-----

At the start of a game to get a goos start just build as many villagers as u can
and get them to build a mill and work on the forrage bush once that is all done
put some villagers on Farms and Woodcutting now u should have a head start of the
other civalisations.

Hint:
-----

In hardest mode if some player(computer) makes neutral with you then afterwards
he asks for resourses from you failing which he attacks you. well you can avoid
being enemy with him by saying 'no' (no 2 in chat menu) to him just after he asks
you for resourses.

Hint:
-----

always attack the enemy base and break their gate while you are fighting send some
villagers and build your on gate there you shuold complete it for your entrance
purpose and they will not attack it and after completing all gates around them which
should be your they will be locked so do not destroy the walls but only gates and all
the enemy when locked like this all the resources outside are yours and they will
become weak by having no resources.

Hint:
-----

If you want to take control of many resources in age of empires 2 and the map always
try to attack the enemy base first by destroying their gates first the n you should
retreat although they will attack but when they are cooled send some villagers and
try to build a gate from where you broke theirs one.If there are enemies towers or
others things dont worry take as 10 villagers and 1% construction will also be able
to block them but you should try to complete it for your entrance purposes.This formula
is only applied to the small gates for the bigger gates you should complete it 100% for
enemystoppage Then after succeding in locking them clear their outter buildings and
soldiers and when they are locked the rest of the map will be yours and they will
become weak by having no more resources.
Hint:
-----

if you want to gain more resouces you need to create more vilagers.

Hint:
-----

The Spanish are one of the best civilisations. Take the spanish,
concentrate on gathering wood and gold, build up ur navy (especially
Elite Cannon Galleons) and then try to destroy ur enemy.

town centre upgrade Hint:
-------------------------

If You have a villager 1st build a town centre upgrade till the imperial
age and well consolidate it and if your completely on land,then send a
full fledged army(cavalry,infantry,archers,siege weapons,petards,2 villager
and three monks) and after clearing a considerably large patch of land near
or in the enemy boundary quickly build 2 castles,town centre,stable,barracks,
archery range,consolidate it with towers and strong cavalry attack the enemy
for sure victory if water is also present send 1st a village to build and
then attack from there.

Defeat any infantry Hint:
-------------------------

You can easily defeat any infantry from i.e.(archers to wood raiders)
using your Arbalests. To accomplish this you must build an archery range.
Then research the archer to crossbowman and then to arbalest.Then reasearchall
archery reasearchs in blacksmith and archery range.These Arbalests, when fully
researched are extremely powerful in range attack and somewhat weak in combat.
Just create 20 arbalests, Double-Click any one to select all of them and just
Right-Click to attack any enemy infantry or cavalry.It will take time to kill
battering,capped and siege rams;cavarly.When they will come nearer to attack
the enemy infantry attack the arbalests.
Since the arbalests are more in number the enemy infantry will die
on their way when trying to reach our men. The arbalests have very long range
so that they can easily kill the infantry and siege units. If they (enemies)
follow this technique it will be a problem to you so you haveto be quicker.
If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Tip:you will atlaest 36 to destroy a castle.this doesn't work on longbowmen

campaign's, Attila The Hun. Bleda will tell you that see if you can flush the Iron
Boar out, but if you do like that his archers will attack you.so you just go near
the boar and attack it once or twice then automatically Bleda will come to attack
the boar. As soon as he comes to attack the boar,you run away from the sight.
Then after Bleda is killed by the boar all the archers who was in Bleda's side will
come to your side and all the other tarkans will also come to your side.

wonder,ya.then you start building the wonder.for this you use the cheat or do it
by hand,got it.after that just build lots of walls and gates and improve them[the
walls should be quite far away from the wonder].now build lots of bombard towers
near the wonder or place lots and lots of cobra cars.[warning put your cobra cars
in no attack stance or else the will itself destroy your wonder when they are
attacking the enemy].Happy Gaming!

Play Age Of Empires 2: Age Of Kings campaigns:
----------------------------------------------
Start the game, click "Single Player", then click "Age of Kings campaigns".
All the original campaigns can be played.

Faster Teutonic Knights:
------------------------
Get a ram capped ram or seige and fill it with Teutonic Knights. You will now have
a faster ram and faster knights.

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.

Gates:
------
Go to the map editor. Name any team "Gates". When you test the scenario, all of
your gates will be damaged if you walk through them.

Saxon Revolt Hint:
------------------

If you didn't know, on your Conquerors CD is a specially made Scenario called The
Saxon Revolt. To enable its use you have to go into the CD (on My Computer) and
open its files. I think it's in the Goodies folder. There are instructions on how
to set it up included with it.

Siege Onagers Hint:
-------------------

If you didn't already know, you can destroy trees with Siege Onagers (available only
to the Teutons, Celts, Mongols, Aztecs, Saracens and Koreans) or Trebuchets. Siege
Onagers are far more effective than Trebuchets. You can use this to enter enemy towns
and surprise them without breaking down their walls. If you want to be really nasty,
you can destroy all the forests near their towns so they have to go outside to get
wood, and you can kill the villgers. You need to know this in some campaigns.

Hint:
-----

I you don't have a lot of resources but want to win thoroughly, make a large number
of archers (specialized archers, like Longbowmen and Hand cannoneers are best), a
few monks, and some ranged siege weapons (either Mangonels, bombard cannons or
trebuchets) and give them a common number. then put them in Line formation on either
defensive stance or stand ground. The monks will heal your archers as they are hurt
and the archers and siege weapons will destroy the enemies and their town. The longer
ranged your guys are, the better. Just watch out for enemy mangonels, as they will
kill your guys like flies.

Hint:
-----

Ok when ur going to attack a town bring 1 (or more) villager along with you so
then you can build castles, stables etc in the town that your attacking so then
instead of getting more troops from your base and sending them back over you can
just create troops in the base and the enemy wont have time to rebuild anything
(gates,buildings etc) while your troops get there,,,,,and u should use the cheat
aegis when performing this.

Elite Teutonic Knight Hint:
---------------------------

Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors Expansion

The Turks have a 8+5 bombard tower range. This is good for placing out of range of
enemy castles and towers and destroying them without harm.

Always have villagers travel with your army. That way when an enemy tower or castle
goes down you can build (if you have a lot of resources) the same building you
destroyed. This is a good defense mechanism; then if they go to attack you, they
will run into your towers.

The best unit is an Elite Teutonic Knight, you only need fifteen of them to take
out an enemy castle.

Cheat:
------

Hi friends, You can destroy a castle using Your Longbowmens. For this first go to
Impiral age research yeomen and the attack a castle with lots of Longbowmens.Since
they have range 12 and castle can have maximum range 11 so it won't be able to attack.
But don't forget to guard your longbowmen using Knights.

Easy win:
---------
For an easier win against NPC characters, make a map using the map editor. Give
yourself 99,999 of every recourse and your opponent about 20,000. Go to the options
and disable the siege workshop and the trebuchet, then edit all the other options
as desired and start the game. It will be a much easier game even under the hardest
difficulty setting because the risk of long ranged attacks and siege weapons that
quickly destroy your buildings has been removed.

See line of sight of all players:
---------------------------------
Type polo to see the the line of sight of players. Also works good with marco cheat.

The Monkey & Flying Dog:
------------------------
In The Conquerors all the cheats from Age of Kings can be used plus two more cheats.
To use both cheats first press Enter in-game and a chat box will open. Type 'woof
woof' to turn all birds into dogs and 'furious the monkey boy' to get the monkey
unit.

Quick Soldiers No Aegis:
------------------------
Ok as you may know there is a cheat (aegis) that makes everything produce straight
away, but there is a problem, once you use aegis the enemies also creat everything
quickly so here is a tip to creat quick soldiers and research things in no time:
it's easier if you have alot of resources to begin with, what you do is at the
beginning of the game you get villagers to build 4 barracks (when you advance ages
do the same with archery range and stable), once you have the 4 barracks click the
creat militia button 5 times on each barracks so in stead of making 5 units because
you ahve 4 baracks you have 4 times as many units so in the time a normal player
(enemie) made 5 soldiers you made 20! do the same for the blacksmith creat 5 so you
can research all at the same time. If you do this you will have about 50 soldiers
in 5-10 minuits and you can attack the enemy who has a very small army! do the same
with the archery range and stable.

Coastal Maps:
-------------
if your on a coastal map ALWAYS! have a dock with a passenger ships with 5 villagers
a scout cavalry 5 foot troops 3 of the unique class and at least 2 archers. when needed
if you get beat bad. set sail to an empty area and rebuild. it will give you a second
chance but then you gotta move fast. if you dont youll lose hose guys too.

Free extra resources:
---------------------
On the first map of the Attila the Hun campaign, move Attila away from where you get
him. Wait until one of the Tarkans say "Bleda wastes our time. Let us follow Attila."
Send Attila up to Bleda, set Bleda's Huns to neutral/enemy, and start killing Bleda.
Once you get the Tarkans, send them up to help Attila. Once Bleda is dead, go back to
the camp and kill any other Tarkan that do not convert. Once you get the resources
from Bleda's Huns, go over the northwestern bridge as one of the Tarkans suggests.
Once you get those villagers, GAIA gives you some resources. Return into the Hunnic
camp to have Bleda's Huns give you more resources.

Cheat:
------
Submitted by: victor

Press enter at game play then write, (king of the hill), and you will get 200 units of horse.

Hint:
-----

There is a easy strategy for winning a game.Firstly,
type "aegis" in chat box.this will create the units,reserches and buildings instantly.now
try to take one of your villager to the main town center of enemy.confirm that there is no ram
or trebuchets near by.now,gently your castle just adjacent to the towncenter of enemy.now create
a army and attack on enemy's towncenter.also,create some unique units to aid them.as the enemy's
towncenter destroys their economy will be perished ans you can destroy your enemy easily.it can
also be done with enemy castle.IT WORKS!

NOTE:you should have ample resources for the building of castle and other units.

Hint:
-----

Press enter then type how do you turn this thing on don't press enter yet right click your
mouse anywhere on the title screen then hit "select all" there should be a button called copy
press that and then press entter then press enter again then right click your mouse then click
paste without typing anything and then it will say how do you turn thos on then press enter and
kepp doing this and you'll have a army of cobras with machine guns on them.

Note. This does take command points so make buildings and make sure you have a town hall without
it you can't do this.
