Double Transport Ship Capacity
Entry Location:


To increase your transport ship capacity without researching any thing. Go into the siege weapons work shop and create a few battering rams. Then garrison some troops inside the battering rams (these have to be foot soldiers other wise it won't work). Then load them on to a transport ship and you'll be able to quadruple your transport ship capacity.

When you click the make a man button on the toolbar click on the little flag where you can place the man you just started to create and keep clicking in the same place as fast as you can. It should double the time to make a man.

Super Wall
Entry Location:


This is hardly a cheat, more of a cheap win. note that this takes lots of time and stone to do. go to a corner in the map and build your desired town. then build your walls w. only castles. they are nearly impossible to destroy when they are used like that. i always just build a square mass of castles and its all over. just make sure you have workers to repair them. and if you have enough stone, simply built a single wall in front of the castle wall and then your castles are safe for a while. to get all the stone, use the code rock on. hit enter, then type rock on. highlight it, copy it, hit enter, hit enter again, and hit ctrl+v. use as needed. the castle wall takes lots of time, but it is foolproof. just remember to build that single wall, and i would put archers in the castles to give better attack. finally, build things that can destroy battering rams and catapults and you cant get touched.

Beat Enemy Almost Every Time
Entry Location:


Build your army almost every time. make an army of as many people as you can (I use spearmen) and separate them into two groups. use 1 expendable person to find a group MAKE SURE HE DIES THE ENEMY WILL FOLLOW HIM!!! then take one group and put him on one side and the other group on another side stay a healthy distance away until ready to attack make sure you outnumber them by a lot the ATTACK!!! it works almost every time.
