	Do you cheat? Increase the size of your Attachments

Just wondering if I'm the only one who's succumbed to the temptation to unfairly pummel the AI every now and then...

I will never use cheat programs or things alike, but i do abuse stupidness of the AI in ways that are not always meant to be possible.
Also do i restart my game until i have a food bonus resource at my starting position.

there is a big difference between single and multiplayer games.

using cheats in single player games is just lame and destroys the game for yourself.
People who cheat in multiplayer games should be banned from the intenet permanently though. Too bad thats not possible.

But.. SP cheating is fun in Civ3.

This is just a game we're talking about... right?

Didn't Jeffrey Dahmer call his activities "games"?

If you're trying to imply a correllation between Civ3 and the Dahmer diet plan, you're either a tad confused, or you have a very eccentric sense of humor....

The implication is simply that rationalization is arbitrary by its very nature. What human praxis cannot be called a game?

Ooooh.... "praxis," huh? Flex that vocabulary, why don'tcha?

I dare say that victims of cannibalization and dismemberment (not necessarily in that order) would hardly consider their plight a game, by any means of rationalization.

But, then again, it is a bit difficult to wax philosophical under that sort of duress...

Ignoring your sardonic ridicule, I never said that the victims called it a game; I said that Dahmer called it a game. Likewise, there are those of us who do not call constant and futile battles with a hostile interface a game, despite that that is what Infogrames calls it.

the only cheating I do now is build dozens and dozens of horseman and completely wipe out all opposing ai's on my continent.

I have tried reloading in the past, but found it to be too much of a pain. I never reload anymore.

But I do take advantage of a crappy combat system. I use the superiority of mobile troops such has horsemand, knights, and calvary to annihilate the AI. The AI doesn't know how to use mobile troops which puts it at a disadvantage.

No ridicule was intended, and, yes, you did say Dahmer called his crimes a game.

I was, however, referring to your remark about "What human praxis cannot be called a game?"

Whether or not the hostile CivIII interface can be called a game is another debate entirely.

Isn't every act of social intercourse a game? These are only atoms, after all. Reality is a mighty shaky matrix: an electromagnetic convulsion suspended in a field of gravity, and punctuated by random quantum farts.
