Cheating

[konny]

Why cant you just play like men? I always play Romans

If you want to play as a man, try Pontos or Armenia.

[Tellos Athenaios]

I do not think you can consider it cheating, really. You play your own game; according to your own rules -- and if a dose of extra money; or a magically beforhand assured victory gives you the boost you need to enjoy your campaign more: all the better.

i agree with Tellos Athenaios: while i dont use the auto_win cheat much (only for sea battles where an entire army is at stake)
i do sometimes use the add_money cheat. i restrict myself to 1 time per year. works out pretty well for me. i have to watch finances, but i can still make some decent units, but not many.
i also sometimes use the process_cq cheat to make building times more realistic. over 3 years to build a barracks? ridiculous! so i make it 1.5 years instead.
but i always do the toggle_fow
its just s/t i need to have.
