How often do you guys use cheats?

I use the auto_win cheat if there is a crash to the disk after I win a tactical battle. I don't want to play it all over again, so I'll use the cheat as I won it already anyway.

I occasionally toggle the FoW to see how the factions are doing.

I never cheat, for it only shows you your own incompetence. ;)

I had a game in my Roman Campaign where the Carthagininians has three FMs in a stack on Sardinia, and every time I would defeat it, my game would crash no matter how long I waited after the battle results. Not only that, but it would also corrupt my most recent save so it would crash on loading. Maybe I should try doing that.

IRT Topic: I abuse the hell out of the pause feature in combat, I use toggle_fow once I've scouted the whole map, just to save myself the hassle of having to move dozens of agents every turn to have up-to-date map info, and when I ply as any of the Steppe factions, I use the add_money cheat if I've gone too deep in debt to defend my empire once I've finally started to get positive cashflow.

As the Sauros I positively have to add-money if the Sakas or Hai start attacking me, otherwise they just destroy me and there's nothing I can do about it. :(

Sack cities. Maybe you can nail Ekbatana (sp?) with a Forager if you're lucky, that's about 27k mnai without destroying the wonder (44 if you do). But you need foot archers for that, so you'll take that much longer to cross through Armenia.
