I suppose the best thing to do would be to edit the game files prior to starting the game up, make a special mod for you and friends to play with, and then make sure everyone has the right mod before you start.

be careful

I used a single player mod and it screwed me up big time in pbem

I ended up having to uninstall and then reinstall to get clean

So many people cheat it is hardly worth playing multiplayer.

How do they do that

[CanuckSoldier]

Yes I'd be interested in knowing this too, as I personally have not tested a trainer that works in MP yet. Most cases of "cheating" I've seen in the MP world so far are nothing more than a n00b not understanding how a player could possibly be "that good" :P

How would it be possible to cheat?
Changing the original python files or something?

There is a very easy way to eliminate players from a game. Just tell them that the cheat screen can be accessed by pressing Alt-F4. I had the unfortunate experience of being in a game where several people decided they would try out this piece of advice

Doesn't the no cheat option eliminate file mods?

[MasterDave]

The only multiplayer cheat I am aware of is to set yourself to settler level on the setup screen and hope nobody notices. Technically, it is not a cheat, but it is slimy as hell.

Other than that I have not caught anyone cheating using other means.

@Rah: the no cheat options prefents you from opening the world builder by accident.

I never understood why the game host isn't able to change the level at which people play.
