print mea starting tactic

this is a (risky but useful) tactic. you get your scout cavalry to attack the town center ONCE. as long as you are neutral, they will not attack you back unless you attack again. this disrupts their economy and help you because you will have scouted a little. this is, however, quite risky. you could do it with a less valuable unit that is not a military unit

print meConfuse enemys

When you start the game the game in a hard level, the enemy might attack pretty quickly and destroy your village before you have a chance to build your resources. Just enter all the food,wood,stone and gold cheats and advance to the imperial age. Then send a couple of your villagers (and units to guard the villagers) to a blank corner of the map and build a wall around one of the villagers.
If your village gets destroyed just destroy the stone wall and get the villager in there to build a new and secret base. This will confuse your enemys in to tyhinking you are destroyed.

print meDefeat yourself

If you want to defeat yourself, but don't want to use one of the other "losing" cheats (like "resign",) just start a regicide game, type "natural wonders" in the chat box, hit enter, and then use an animal (like a boar, wolf, or jaguar) to kill "your" king (which you will have lost control of) just like you kill an enemy unit.

Note: Natural Wonders is a cheat to lose control of your other people and switch to controlling animals. If you click the technology tree button, though, it will cause the game to crash. I sen a report on this to Apple...

print meEasy win

For easy victory over the CPU under any difficulty setting, place eight to twelve villagers into three control groups. Then, have two control groups working on gold and one working on stone until all of the stone piles and gold piles are gone. Next, build at least two of every building and upgrade everything as fast as possible. If done quick enough you should be able to either swarm your enemy or surround him with castles.

print mescout for sheep faster than your opponent

type in the cheat for the cobra sports car.

use the car to zoom around the map and round up all the sheep. it's best to keep the sheep with the car at all times. if you leave it up to them to get back to camp, the opposite scout may pick them up along the way. if you keep your sheep close, the car will destroy the opponent's scout instead.

(also, be careful you don't completely annihilate your opponent in the beginning, it's not that fun. the sports car will do that if you don't move it out of range fast enough)
