#4 cheat mode

[Anonymous]

it would be nice to have some functions build in to make "cheating" more easy . The cheating function could then make creating you own senario's easyer as well

some examples of cheats

make a option vor active player ( see CIV III)

-explore => all or a continent/region
-make it mine "for active player"
-tech me up/down
-destroy armies ( for selected country )
-colonize me
-other

I had thought of a "sandbox mode" where you could build buildings, seize provinces, etc., but it required another layer of programming that I didn't want to start.

Bear in mind that this is a general tool; any function must work on both history files and saved games. This rules out the "destroy armies" one. The others could work, but would not be very easy to implement. Besides, rogrammatically adding things to the history files would probably make them hard for a human to read. I'll think about it, though.

If you are a programmer (you posted anonymously, so I don't know who I'm dealing with), you can request CVS access and maybe implement some of these yourself.
