A Photonman, a cheat unit in Age of Empires II.
Cheat units causing havoc
To use cheat codes in Age of Empires II, press Enter during game play to bring up a text box, enter the code and press Enter again. The codes are not case sensitive.
All cheat units are spawned from the player's Town Center. Without a Town Center, no cheat units will appear even if the correct codes are typed.
In the HD Edition, entering any cheat codes will prevent the user from obtaining any achievements (except campaign-related ones) in that session. In the Definitive Edition, using cheat codes will also disable the medal earned in a singleplayer scenario, as well as any campaign-related achievements.
Despite being on the same game client, many unit-spawning cheat codes listed here do not function in Return of Rome. All cheat codes here do function in Chronicles.
