-ian switch allows you to have higher elevation view, almost overhead view and you can move the camera up very high. This allows you to "see" the entire battlefield and thus may gain upper hand over other players. To some, it is a cheat and should never be used in game. To me, *shrugs*, you gotta do what you gotta do to beat me ;) Only makes your defeat looks even worse :) (just kidding).

The -ian switch doesn't work in MP.
It's not really a cheat either. It was intented do enable Ian, the promotion guy for M:TW, to take better screenshots. As said above, your camera is absolutely free. Additionally, you can run the campaign on auto, let the AI take over your faction, etc.

It's best used on the campaign map where you can do all kinds of things with it enabled. Best of all, you can switch control between factions as much as you like. So if you're bored of running your huge nation, why not just switch to some tiny nation and see if you can turn their fortunes around.

Oh i forgot that it is later turned off for MP. Oh well, *feels like just woke up from a long sleep*
