Not sure where I found it (a google search will usually turn it up), but it's a little utility that lets you:

A.) Add 10000 gold to your treasury any time you like

B.) Hurry production of anything (including wonders) with money under any government (even anarchy) and even while a city is in revolt or disorder.

C.) Research techs in one turn, even if your science slider is set as low as 10%

Obviously, using it doesn't really make the game very competitive...

I think it'll be pretty obvious if someone is cheating like that in MP - you can always see how much is in their treasury and what technologies they have from the diplomatic screen, and there won't be much doubt about it if they're rushing wonders and such...

I just don't understand what kind of satisfaction, especially on multiplayer, can cheaters possibly get ? Its not like they're better than the others ... just a little more immature and stupid thats all

Too true. Them cheaters should burn in the lowest levels of Hell.

however, any dirty trick that is allowed by the game's rules I will use. Profusly.

Yeah i don't see a problem working through loopholes now and again if i'm in a bind... Heeck you KNOW the AI does it ALL THE TIME

another dirty trick i do is work my ass off to get the great library, in a game with many many civs and I know them all, and then stop researching science. I get LOADS of casg used to rush build stuff until some idiot finds invention. This is a real helper.

Its a good idea if you're going to war a lot and you don't want to worry about science, only kicking ass. But even then, the biggest advantage you'll ever have in war (and wonder races) will be in being the first to get a wonder, not the third.

Unless you aim for third place

But if you're an early conqueror, then its a good strat nonetheless. However, I wouldn't even dream of using this tactic with multiplayer when it comes out. I can see all kinds of trouble.

aahz_capone , that will not work at emp/deity as even if you get the GL, they will have Ed so fast. Even at Monarch, it wil not take long before they counterfiet it. If you know them all at those levels, it is already too late, most likely.
