In the Definitive Edition, there has been observed cheating in online ranked mode where players give themselves infinite resources. Evidently there's a way to do that without going OoS. This was probably the same in the original. This is besides the less complex cheat, removing fog of war. Seems the only thing stopping most people from cheating is, they don't want to.
Also, I used to play the Mac version a lot. It was great! Shame they made the remakes Windows-only.

These types of cheat have been around ever since the original game, and the HD edition [2].

- brnt 4y agoNever had to mess with anything for multiplayer AoE (or any other so far). That was in the before times, remember transgaming?
