Age of Empires 2 Conqueror's Expansion Modification

I'm modifying the game. I've created a new unit and hit a wall. I can't figure out how to make the unit able to attack by right-clicking on the enemy. If I right-click on an enemy currently, the unit will simply take the command as a move command. Help please? 71.220.221.109 (talk) 00:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the answer and I haven't played this game in ages but, in my experience of these games, it's usually preferable to press the "attack key" (usually A) and then click on the ground near the enemy. That way your units move towards the enemy units and automatically attack any enemy units in their range. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 08:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's called Attackmove. Aoe doesn't have that.96.53.149.117 (talk) 02:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Game cheats

i need some game cheats preferably for the xbox 360. is there a page on wiki for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellojello3 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. Your best bet is searching on Google or go to IGN.com or whatever that game site is... Dismas|^(talk) 02:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try GameFaqs. They've got just about any cheat code you could imagine. APL (talk) 16:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you even want to cheat - isn't the game supposed to be a challenge for you to solve/overcome? Astronaut (talk) 04:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What if you've finished the game and you want to get the most of out of it? Don't be so condescending to the OP, they have their reasons. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 16:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm halfway through a game and I'm pretty much stuck on a ledge. For the last few days I've been trying to come up with a strategy to escape a sniper. Even so, finding a cheat is not something I would consider. However, it is worth pointing out that I'm an occasinal gamer who finds many games difficult even on the easy levels. It could take me days to avoid my sniper :-) Astronaut (talk) 00:21, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Promo pic with death mask

This is Marilyn in 1948 in a Columbia studio. Someone here who has an idea, who is the guy in the background? 78.49.60.58 (talk) 20:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, we're talking about the "person" that the mask is modeled from and not the guy in the photo to MM's left? Dismas|^(talk) 06:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the death mask, but if you are recognizing the guy on the photo, well, this is interesting too. (I haven't seen him before :-)). Regards 78.51.191.155 (talk) 18:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Reggae singer

OK, this one has been bugging me for a while.

The female lead singer on Johnny Reggae, by "The Piglets" sounds very similar to the female lead singer on Don't stick stickers on my paper knickers, by "X Certificate" (think that's how it's spelled).

Q: Were they the same person, and who were they? Mjroots (talk) 21:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, "The Piglets" was one of the many aliases used by British music business personality Jonathan King. I don't know the song "Johnny Reggae", but it's likely that on the record you're simply hearing King's voice speeded up. As for "X Certificate", I can't seem to find anything about them, but King's own list of records he's made doesn't mention them. So it's probably just a coincidence. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 08:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Reggae song, voice reminds me a bit of a young Wendy Richard. Unfortunately "Don't stick stickers..." doesn't seem to be available online. Mjroots (talk) 09:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
