In each Age Of Empires series game Ensemble studios has made, they sneak in special units which can be activated by typing a certain phrase. Many of the units are amazingly outrageous ranging from an ultra-powerful car to a giant bust of George Washington and even lazer bear who has become a fan favorite. Here is a screenshot of AoE III's cheat units, two of which never made it into the final game. Now today's question is: Should ES change the usual cheats they put in into something new and entirely unseen before? Many have also pondered about cheat units of the past. Looking back on the older AoE games brings back nostalgic memories of tearing down an entire enemy base using a small squad of nuke troopers. The cheats have not changed much since the original game. Some cheats to get resources, win the game, lose the game, reveal the map, etc... However do you think ES could or should go in another direction for cheats? Rarely has there been a cheat which did anything unique. Though notable ones like goatunheim and catapults who fire cows and villagers were among that small group. Perhaps ES should do more of that in future games? Or should it stay the way it is now? You can speak your thoughts in the comments section or in the thread on AoMH.
