Cheats - what's the point??

**VIPERLORD** · 03-15-2010, 19:50

LOL oops

Looks like I hit a nerve, so I apologise if it came across to some people that I was saying that if you cheat then you must be no good at the game. That was not my intent. Sometimes I forget that not everyone that plays is playing to try and win but are just having some fun roleplaying etc. Personally for me the fun is in the challenge of overcoming whatever the AI throws at me without 'adjusting' anything.

Anyway, I better stop typing before i end up with another serious case of foot in mouth disease.

It's cool, I'm not offended, I was just pointing out that there may be a more diplomatic way of saying what you said. The only cheat I ever use is toggle_fow occasionally to track the progress of the AI anyways, so it's not like this was even really directed at me.

Sorry I thought you were trying to provoke people, on the internet you never know who's asking a serious question and who's just trying to get a rise out of people.

Stupid text: fails to express emotions and body language! BTW I think VIPERLORD is one sick son of a gun for making posts like that. I send you, VIPERLORD, a virtual HI-FIVE.

P.S. Anyone wants to get dissed I'll be in the basement freestylin' your life to pieces.

Considering you are one of the biggest of the men on this forum you will sooner rip me apart physically than psychologically, haha.

I use only add_money just sometimes when I dont HAVE money or they look like hmmm......-7000. So I use it just rarely to save my economy cuz it's crashing

I used cheat to add the ImpressedByCats trait to my generals in my AS campaigns - cos I only found out the requirements for the reforms after blitzing all the other eastern factions (oops) ;) - and auto_win is necessary, not only for CTD, but also for the impossible number of battles that you will obviously win but where the auto_resolve would fry you and where you dont want to spend your entire day killing peasant troops

No problem. Nothing wrong with this topic; I only posted it as a general reminder.
