Damn good question. Not quite good enough to tempt me over to widoze, though.

I think I'll pass - even though it is for the operating system of choice (who's choice, you notice, is never addressed).

LOL

But what does the thing actually DO?

I don't know but it says it allows you to modify any value in the game.As it runs.So I guess you can give yourself units,techs,improvements,wonders,maps.maybe you can change the value of terrain.Change your treasury."any value" is fairly broad

[St Leo]

It searches for a value you type in in the active memory of the app, then asks you to change it several times until it can pinpoint that memory address that holds the variable (or pointer, or whatever) and then allows you to change it.

[finbar]

I notice it's also been removed from the first of the two sites Smash linked in the first post. Or it had been.

Hey! so it has.I wonder why.Perhaps I shall start a crusade to purge the world of this evil program.

[CapTVK]

My god this program is evil! It totally elimates any technical barrier for cheating! I've heard about these things but I never bothered to check it out. Do these things also work in MP!?

Sigh, some things never change, I remember doing this sort of thing back in the 8-bit era (peek-poke-sys) for the good old infinite ammo/jumps/lives poke. But that was on a C64 and you had reset the machine and find the exact hex codes and jump back into the program. You had to know how it worked. But with this...I can hardly imagine people actually using this program in Civ2MP.

Yeah um, what he said.

I still don't know what it does or how to use it but JUST HAVING IT ON MY SYSTEM gives me the confidence to feel like I could whoop War4 and Khanman ANY DAMN TIME I LIKE.

Does this work for MP games... Do you have to be the host, or does it matter. Now I know no one would ever want to admit that they have tried it... but has anybody experimented with it to see if it does work for Civ MP?
