Cheat?
So let me get this straight...I buy this game so that I can cheat at it?
You know, conventionally what we define as a "game" consists generally of two broad concepts - goals and rules. The act of playing the game is to accomplish the goals, within the rules. That's part of what makes the game fun - working within and with the rules to accomplish the goals. When you bend the rules to make accomplishing the goals laughably easy for anyone with a brain, you diminish your fun. No one would play Civ 3 if all it did was display YOU HAVE WON after you hit 'b' to found your first town. Sure, you accomplished the goal (winning) but you didn't have fun - there was no conflict, which is essentially the fun in games like this - conflict with the rules of the world as they exist. That kind of game would get boring fast.
I'm sure a Civ 3 cheat would be simple within the hacking community - it's entirely single player, so I don't doubt they can hack it seventy-seven ways to Sunday. But the point is, you ultimately reduce your fun by cheating. Or at least, I do. So, no thanks. I think I'll enjoy the game, struggling against and within the rules, as it is. The AI's play by the rules (when I want them to) - I certainly can.
