How Cheat Codes Work in Age of Mythology Retold

Age of Mythology Retold keeps the classic cheat system from the original Ensemble Studios RTS. In single-player skirmish and campaign modes, you type codes into the chat box to spawn units, gain resources, or trigger god powers instantly.

Unlike trainers or memory editors, in-game cheat codes are built into the game engine. They work on PC via Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and the Microsoft Store. Cheats are disabled in ranked and unranked multiplayer to preserve competitive integrity.

Step-by-Step: Entering a Cheat Code

Follow these steps every time you want to activate an Age of Mythology cheat code in Retold:

  • Launch a single-player game — skirmish, campaign, or custom scenario.
  • Press Enter to open the chat input box at the bottom of the screen.
  • Type the cheat code exactly as listed. Retold codes are not case-sensitive, but classic Extended Edition codes require CAPS.
  • Press Enter again to execute the code.
  • Watch for the confirmation message in the chat log. Some codes spawn units at your Town Center.

These are the cheat codes players search for most often when looking for Age of Mythology unlimited resources or instant army boosts:

  • STONKS — +10,000 Food, Wood, Gold, and Favor (best all-in-one resource cheat)
  • DEVASD — Ultimate sandbox cheat: max resources, +200 pop cap, unlimited god powers, no fog of war
  • TITANOMACHY — Spawns a Titan at your Town Center
  • ATM OF EREBUS — +1,000 Gold (quick economy boost)
  • JUNK FOOD NIGHT — +1,000 Food
  • MOUNT OLYMPUS — +1,000 Favor for god powers

In-Game Cheats vs Trainer Overlays

In-game cheat codes are perfect for sandbox fun and campaign experimentation. For map awareness during skirmish — seeing enemy army positions, resource node locations, and relic placements — a stream-proof trainer overlay gives you intel without typing codes.

The Age of Mythology Retold trainer includes enemy ESP, resource overlays, build tracking, army composition highlights, and scout intel. Stream-proof mode hides overlays from OBS and Streamlabs capture.
