BREAKING THE POPULATION LIMIT:
------------------------------

To do this you must gather a lot of wood first.
You can either use any cheat for this or you can
use your villagers to do this.

When there is one unit left for you to reach the
Population limit select some of your villagers and
build the structures which are used to terrain the
units you want.(You must have one building for
each unit you build after population limit.
Eg: you need 11 archery ranges to terrain
10 archers after the limit)

After building enough buildings hold down the
CTRL key and select the building you have built.
Now you can quickly change your selection
by pressing TAB.

Now you can start terraining units you want by
selecting the appropriate icon(using hotkeys is recommended).
When you have selected one icon in one building once
Quickly change your selection(using TAB) and select a unit
in that building and continue this action until you have
selected one unit in each building .

If you succeeded in selecting one unit in each building
Before the first unit is created you can build as much units
As you want.(It will become easy if the first unit you created
Is a unit which take a lot of time to terrain.
Eg : PRIEST,ELEPHANT etc.).
Practice will make you better in doing this.


Making your enemies as your ally:
---------------------------------

In order to make your enemies as your allies just follow this. First,
build a very vast military base. Don't concentrate on creating extra
villagers. If you are playing a random map with more than two enemies
then one of them will be concentrating to build a forward military base
like you and the other will be concentrating in creating extra villagers
to build temples, markets and Wonder. This you could easily see from the
mini-map. Now bring your large army to the enemy base that concentrates
on creating villagers, destroy their wonder and temples. The enemy at once
gets stunned to see your ambush attack and they will change their diplomatic
stance to ally. Atonce you should set your diplomacy to ally if you are too
late then they will again set their stance to enemy. Try it, It really happens.
This technique is common to both Age of Empires-I and Age of Empires-Rise of
Rome. If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Changing the Population Limit:
------------------------------
Submitted by: sash

If you are playing a multiplayer game, the game host can increase or decrease the 50-unit
population limit by adding the Limit= parameter to the Age of Empires command line.
If you are playing a multiplayer game through Microsoft's Internet Gaming Zone, the game
host must also add the Limit= parameter to the Age of Empires registry. Players can check
the population limit of a multiplayer game by looking for the Population Limit setting
that appears in the Settings list after they join a game.

To add the Limit= parameter to the command line in the Age of Empires shortcut

1. In Windows 95, click the Start button, point to Settings, click Taskbar, click Start
Menu Programs, click Advanced, and then double-click Programs.
-or-
In Windows NT, right-click the Start button, select Open All Users, and then double-click
Programs.
2. Double-click Microsoft Games, and then double-click Age of Empires.
3. Right-click the Age of Empires shortcut, click Properties, and then click Shortcut.
4. In the Target text box, type Limit=x after the existing command line text. Type the
population limit instead of the letter "x." For example, to set the population limit to
65, type Limit=65. You can type any number from 25 to 200. The default setting is 50.
Parameters must be separated by a space; capitalization is not important.

To add the Limit= parameter to the Age of Empires registry for multiplayer games using
the Internet Gaming Zone

1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type Regedit, and then click OK.
3. Double-click Hkey_local_machine/Software/Microsoft/DirectPlay/Applications/Age of
Empires/CommandLine.
4. In the Value data text box, type Limit=x after the existing command line text.
Do not remove the word "lobby" from the command line. Type the population limit instead
of the letter "x." For example, to set the population limit to 65, type Limit=65.
You can type any number from 25 to 200. The default setting is 50. Parameters must
be separated by a space; capitalization is not important.

WARNING:Increasing the population limit decreases game performance. For example,
with a 50-unit population limit, the potential number of concurrent units in an
8-player game is 400. With a 200-unit population limit, the potential number of
concurrent units in an 8-player game is 1600. This increase in the number of units
can seriously degrade overall game performance.
