Do cheats disable achievements in Age of Empires DE?
No, according to the Age of Empires Wiki: entering cheat codes in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition doesn't stop you earning achievements. That differs from Age of Empires II and III: Definitive Edition, where cheats do block them, so advice written for those games doesn't carry over. Age of Empires Wiki: Cheat code (Age of Empires)
Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Return of Rome (Age of Empires II: DE) The Age of Empires Wiki says the Return of Rome mode runs on the Age of Empires II: DE engine: the four resource codes give 10,000 instead of 1,000, POW and JACK BE NIMBLE are gone, and a later update switched off the unit spawn codes there.

- Definitive Edition achievements The Age of Empires Wiki says entering codes in this edition doesn't block achievements, unlike Age of Empires II and III: Definitive Edition, where cheats do. Age of Empires Wiki: Cheat code (Age of Empires)
- Unit spawn codes The Age of Empires Wiki says spawned units appear at your most recently built Town Center, so you need one, and nothing spawns while that Town Center is researching a new Age. Age of Empires Wiki: Cheat code (Age of Empires)
- GAIA and HARI KARI The Age of Empires Wiki says GAIA can't be reversed unless you saved before entering it and reload, and that repeating HARI KARI several times may crash the game. Age of Empires Wiki: Cheat code (Age of Empires)
