Age of Empires 2: Map and game cheats
The codes in this section change the rules of the game. Type marco to reveal the map and polo to remove the fog of war, and both turn off when typed again. The aegis code finishes building, training, gathering and research instantly, but it does so for every player, the AI included. Codes that make technologies free and raise the population cap by 1,000 are here too.
Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.
