Part 1. Editing Your cities rank.
1. Creating a City.
Open age of empires III
Choose Multiplayer then LAN.
Then Manage Home Cities and Create a new home City.
Then make your home city and exit out of the game.
2. Finding your home city.
Go into your finder and open a new window.
Go Documents then find your city by following this image..
3. Editing your cities level, XP, Skillpoints, cards and other things.
Open the document with Textedit or and text editing program.
You should see
Edit the level, xp,numpropunlocksearned and skillpoints to any number you want.
I recommend 150 level, just so when you use the home city online people wont get to suspicious your XP and Skillpoints can be anything you want. But you can still edit it to any number you want. There is 105 cards to buy with skillpoints so if you want it to be 0 when your done buying set it to 105. Another note if you do choose to buy each card you will only see the first 2 digits of the number of skillpoints you choose. Do not fret cause there is the actual amount you chose. But to save time on buying every card see below. The 'numpropsunlocksearned' will let you by props for your city. You will have to buy each of these.
Part 2. Custom Decks.
1. Buying cards.
You can either go and buy all 105 cards or you can copy and paste this into the <activetechs> Section. Its easier to delete the current and paste this over in the same spot.

Population Hack
This is for LAN and Singleplayer Only. Do not abuse this online.
1. Backing Up files.
Go to your Age of Empires III application and choose show package contents by right clicking.
Navigate through till you some to this location..
Backup the files named 'proto.xml' and 'techtree.xml'. Then place these into the data folder. Replace all if you didn't move your proto anc techtree files. But I do strongly recommend backups. Open up a LAN game with your city and test out your new population limit.
As you can see I have a lot more units then it says I do. But be warned the ai can also make unlimited units so it make cause lag on some older or slower computers.
There isn't much more then that. If you have any questions or requests just ask.
