A Cheat too far?

I honestly didn't know about these cheats and will continue not to use them.

toggle_fow is my bane. Not that I use it all the time, however it is mostly when I am finishing a session of gameplay for the night, I'll press press the ol' toggle_fow just to see whats going on with the other factions. I find it interesting what the ai gets up to or what it doesn't....

Also I have used the move_character cheat as a house rule to relocate those stuck ex-crusading armies that the AI all but abandons because it can not find its way back to its own territory once a crusade has finished. Suddenly once the AI has its army back in its territory, it usually sparks it into action.

Just because they are there it dose not mean you have to use them.

The only cheat I would use is the FOW, and then only in a defensive campaign to see how the others are developing.

in my current stainless steel campaign, I really don't use many cheats. just process_cq mostly, and toggle_fow so that my diplomat doesnt take 20 years getting from spain to denmark due to being stoped repeatedly.

but honestly, by the default M2 timeline, it takes over a hundred years to build only the 2 top-tier buildings in the city line. if it was maybe all building at once (ala E:TW) I could wait 15 turns. but it doesnt take hundreds of years to build a city.

I know about the cheats, but i have never been tempted to play around with them. When learning a new faction, I will toggle the FOW a bit, but I have never done so in a real game. I might be tempted to add some units if I were doing a guide or writing a story that is not strictly recounting an actual campaign, but I have not done so yet.
