I sometimes do games where I just planet bust everyone and use scenario editor, but on real games I never cheat or exploit bugs. I don't even know any, and when my friends tell me to try them, I can't even figure them out (not that I would use them). Using cheats takes the fun out of the game, but when I got 20 minutes, you can't play a real game, what else do you want me to do?Comment

So using crawlers to accelerate a project is cheating? well, I never did the upgraded-crawler thing, because I don't know how to (and don't know how to). The SP game I'm doing now is the first one where I used a LOT of crawlers getting evergy and minerals. Of course, I send them all to my home base.
But if saving and reloading so my probes are never detected are cheating then sure, I cheat all time.It's really Synthetic God... I guess I didn't notice my own typo.Comment

I only reload games because I think the computer reloads games
. Really, how can you tell if the computer is reloading a game during their turn 
. For all we know, they could have nuked us, figured out it won't do enough damage, then reload and play the turn like normal without us ever knowing it.

I don't quite understand how you can cheat when not playing against human players. How do you cheat the AI? Does it hurt the AI's feelings when you cheat them?
If it does, I'm going home and fire-up the a game and type in taunts to the AI
If using exploits is cheating then I'm guilty. I love finding new exploits. It doesn't ruin my game experience. When I need an additional challenge then I'll stop using them."They’re lazy troublemakers, and they all carry weapons." - SMAC Manual, Page 59 Regarding Drones

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann GoeringComment

It depends on one's playing style I suppose. I like to put roleplaying in my games. I have a very hard time using punishment spheres as Gaians for instance. While as the Hive...

Never cheated. I used the industry toggle exploit before I weaned myself of it.Comment

when you cheat (even against the ai) you aren't cheating them, you are cheating yourself.
I just don't feel comortable not playing the game the way it was intended (I would not feel comortable building Centauri preserves, selling them, and then building them again for example)Comment
