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.
