Kinda crazy that games these days are being release im incomplete state. I really hope that when do plan to release these features, it won’t be a soon moment.

u wrong.
No one would use Scenario Editor immediately at launch. (no one == 99.9% of players dont need it immediately, Sotl && Twest would launch SE immediately but only them)
So, it would be cool to play Forest Nothing/other maps, or test units at the start.
But new game → a lot of content, so ppl could survive without editor a few months.
I just thought about reasons of this approach (guys from IT will understand): CI/CD, agile, short sprints to release"feature" on prod - really fast etc. If u consider the game as “engine” and software based product with continuing updates. This approach make sence, at least it is used in other software companies, but also can be bad for game development.
anyway Half ready product - bad.
PS even if sc2 were MP based game, they patched balance really slow(upto 8 months for one patch). Aoe4 has aoe2 & aoe3 experience how to patch balance every month.
U can compare games, but hopefully aoe4 has more “experience” of other games.
That’s a strong percent. 99.9%

Do we know if there will be any official cheat codes for AoE4 single player.
When ? I was little I was having a lot of fun messing around with cheat codes during campaigns and player vs A.I.
Yes.
Cheats are coming post-launch as well

Hey everyone,
It just occurred to me that Relic decided not to include the signature cheat codes typically included in the Age of Empires franchise.
Does anyone have any cheat code suggestions outside the typical resource boosters?
Cheers!

Whats up with cheat-codes in Single Player, when will they arrive?
Im not interested in playing multiplayer, or even play the game competetive… i just want to have fun.
in all the older AoE -titles, i always had a lot of fun in Skirmishes against bots, and way more fun with cheat codes.
Cheats in single player have always been an elementary part of AoE for me.

there will be in the future .its confirmed
They will come ‘post-launch’. So in two weeks, or in 2024.

“Cheats! Cheats are coming post-launch as well, since that’s kind of a classic Age thing. And we haven’t talked about that before, so there you go.” Cheats - often involving ridiculous, overpowered units - have indeed a beloved feature of the Age Of Empires series, and it’s pleasing to hear AoE4’s designers already have a shortlist of candidate units based on running gags from concept art. “Maybe the beehives can make it in, then?” I suggest, a bit plaintively. “Instead of the Cobra Car?”
One of many expected things that didn’t make its way to the final product, most likely due to insufficient development time given to the studio. It would be hard to imagine it’s just sugarcoating the fact it was some conscious, creative decision on dev part.
For me, map editor is probably on the top of my wishlist. Considering the amount of campaign content and how barren vsAI skirmish options are, it’s very important for a lot of people that ain’t fixated on PvP.
I haven’t tested it and it seems a bit complicated but i came across this reddit post a while back about how to enable cheats. There is no special units though.
Cheats are coming in the spring update if the roadmap is to be believed
Since the mods have already merged all the cheat codes topic into one , I will say that cheat codes are coming, it’s confirmed.
In the Interum, there is a program out there called ‘WeMod’ which handles the execution of trainers for almost any game you can think of.
It is free, and very straightforward. Although theres no super cars or dragons (never got that one to work, myself)
You can do things like Add 5k resources, invincibility etc.
I’d like to add in my above post, that using WeMod does not work on multiplayer matches, because the info is bounced back to the server. Suddenly if you have an extra 5k gold, you get booted because the information your system is sending does not match up with what you had a frame ago.
