It does not matter versus what empire you are playing, but for yourself, you will have to go through some of them depending on what achievements you are going for.
Once every game starts press
ENTER, type " steroids " and press
ENTER again to make buildings go up instantly and to make troops be trained instantly as well. Always start off with building about 20 houses or so, so you can house enough troops/villagers. The fastest way to do this is select a villager, press Q (hotkey) to get a house ready and then just click where you want to build it. You will also work towards this achievement:
In case you run out of resources, these cheats will help out. In case you still need quite some progress towards a certain achievement it might be worth setting up a new custom game rather than putting in the cheat code again and again:
woodstock: Instantly gives 1000 wood.
pepperoni pizza: Instantly gives 1000 food.
coinage: Instantly gives 1000 gold.
quarry: Instantly gives 1000 stone.Egyptian empire:Stable: (train 100 Scythe Chariots)
The following ones work for multiple empires, though since we are playing as Egyptians now, let's go for them.
Barracks: (train 400 Axeman)
Academy: (train 21 Centurions)
Archery Range: (train 500 (heavy) Horse Archers)
Siege Workshop: (train 500 Heavy Catapults)
Babylonian empire:Build 50 Ballista towers (with villagers--> Hotkey = Y)
Macedonian empire: (-> Iron age, not Post-iron age)
Acadamy: (keep training 256 Hoplites)
Minoan empire:Archery Range: (keep training 100 Composite Bowman)
Assyrian empire:Archery Range: (Keep training 400 Chariot Archers)
Shang empire:Fortified wall: (Keep building long Fortified Walls with villagers, 789 segments)
Choson empire:Barracks: (Train 1000 Legions)
(I've left out some of them which are easier to do in a custom scenario campaign, convert units for 3 achievements, kill a lion (alpha) and raze 200 temples)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best way to go for the Shang wall segments and the 50 Babylonians towers is to train some extra villagers at the town center, and then order all of them to start building. Then select one villager and start adding extra wall segments/towers.
For the train X amount of troops achievements, place the Barracks/Archery range/academy/Siege workshop somewhere in the open. This will mean that you can train more units before you have to remove units. Hold the SHIFT button and keep clicking the unit you want to train (or press the Hotkey). Once it says that there is not enough room to build more units, double-click (left mouse) on one of the units, and hold the DELETE button on your keyboard until all of them are deleted. Then start training units again. Also, make sure that the steroids cheat is always activated at the start of a new match.
Once you run out of resources or have your achievement(s), press
ENTER, type " home run " and press
ENTER again to win the match.
