Unlimited Resources
Use a text editor to edit the “proto.xml” file in the “data” directory in the game folder. Note: You may first need to uncheck the “Read Only” attribute of that file’s properties in Windows Explorer. Search for the text “CrateOf”. You will find CrateofFood, CrateofCoin, CrateofWood, CrateofFoodLarge, CrafteofCoinLarge, and CrateofWoodLarge. For all these entries, find the tag “InitialResourceCount” and change the count to whatever desired. For example, the normal crates each have “100.000″ of the resources. You can change the “100″ to “99999.000″, etc.
Easy Leveling in Single Player
Open the sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml file in the My Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Savegame (dont forget to make a back up first) folder, search for .
You will see something like this
xx, put in 99 for the xx, save the file, go into the game and play a skirmish. Now you are level 99 !

Unlimited Unlock Points in Single player
Open the sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml file located in \My Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Savegame (dont forget to make a backup of this file) find this line .
The line should look like this
xx, where x is the number of skillpoints you currently have. Change the xx to a high number such as 999, save the file and start Age of Empires 3. Go into a skirmish game, go to manage your city and you will now have 999 unlock points to unlock various things for your city.

Increase your card/deck unlock points in Single Player!
Go to My Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Savegame open the sp_yourcityname_homecity.xml (make sure you back up this file) and find the line .
The line should look something like this
xx, where xx is the current number of card unlock ponts you have. Change xx to a high number such as 999, save the file, start Age of Empires 3 and go into a skirmish. Go to where you manage your decks and now you will have 999 unlock points to get more cards for your deck.

    All the cheats listed here are right and work perfectly but they are no use at all when you guys play online with the cheat option “Disable”,because 99.99999% of people who plays online dont play with cheats opt. “Enable”, so i want 2 know there will be any secrect so we can cheat with the cheat opt. “Disabled”?????????? Keep this privatcy and that to me at: email me :Cumi6875@yahoo.com

    actuallly the cheat for wood is not censored.
    and they dont need caps locks ( the cheats)
    plus u can use these in multiplayer cuz if u look at the manual that comes with the box it says: have a twist and use cheats in multiplayer mode”, or something like that.
    plus u ( who wrote these cheats down) should not make mistakes on how to use cheats. ex.u just wrote censored.u gotta write down like this :
    hope this can be of assistance.
    btw ( try gamespot.com if you need proper cheats) they have everything.
    i only used these cheats like twice, no challenge if u use them
    tuck tuck tuck spawns a monster truck that crushes everything, whats the point of playing then?
    its called strategy! uha! wake up people!

  14. dsjkflsdj says:

    oh sorry he also didnt list that once u write the cheat u gotta press enter again to activate them.

  15. stopper says:

    Where has all the common sense gone.
    Of course you have to hit enter to activate the cheats…you hit enter to start the cheat.
    Of course if you cheat most of the challenge is gone, why do you think it is called cheating. Same thing in real life games (baseball, football, hockey).
    There are rules, penalties and our laws to stop cheaters.
