Who here plays cheat games?

[Dyabedes of Aphrodisias]

I auto_win battles that will be small, tedious, and/or easily winnable myself. Sometimes I cheat the ass off of a campaign just to test out the faction. Sometimes I'll process_cq a city to see what MICs give me what, then destroy what I've built and return the money. Once I'm bored with a campaign I'll cheat away before giving up (once I ruled the entire Western Mediterranian as Carthage, I cheated every city the maximum constructable buildings for a few turns, then quit).

I have a few times just to try things out and to get through tedious battles that I cant be arsed to play out

I modify the game a little more. I give the AI less starting bonus/ script bonus and i increase the trade values. And i added more starting money for each faction.
