FAQ
Do cheats work in multiplayer?
Only if every player has cheats enabled when the game is created, and ranked games do not allow them. Our guides are written for single-player and skirmish.
Do cheats disable achievements?
In the Definitive Editions, yes, for that match. The warnings in each guide cover what we found.
