Quick Creating
Press return and then type: 'under the bridge' and everything will move fast!
Machine Gunners
For this cheat your must have CREATED a map with at least one SHAH on it. (to create a shah, go to heroes and press "S". Then, play the map and select your sha, bring it over to an enemy unit / building (preferably a house) and right click on that object. The shah will begin attacking it! The only drawback is that the shah has very little attack.
Detroy buildings
If you press ''DEL'' while you have selected a building or unit it will be utterly destroyed (this doesn't work with the enemy)
More Bases Advantage
To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build more than one base. Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at least two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your bases is located, especially during online play.

Use the following trick to rapidly enter the cheat codes and get resources quickly. For wood, press Enter, type lumberjack, highlight the word, then press Ctrl + C to copy it. Press Enter to activate the cheat. Press Enter again, then press Ctrl + V to paste the word on the screen for activation. Repeat to get resources quickly. This may be used with the rock on, robin hood, cheese stack jimmy's, and to smithereens codes.
