people shouldn't use cheats.....
not even once. When you get to whatever goal you set for yourself, good luck in feeling any satisfaction knowing you bs'ed your way through it, lol.
at the end of the day, we got Ironman mode, but I'm sure some people would like to play with mods and what not.
Honestly, Paradox shouldn't have enabled any of them in the game. They don't have to block the command console like in Ironman but they should disable the cheats.
The game is not meant for everyone and that's it.
I got my friend into CK2 and EU4. There's a party at his house for some occasion and he tells me to check out his Leon game. He loads it up and he's basically taken over all of europe. Judging by the year, it took him quite longer than it should have. Knowing he cheats, even in RL sports like Basketball or wherever and whatever it is we're playing, It looked like he didn't succumb on this play through. After asking him if he cheated, he's like "hell no man, all skill cuz (meaning cousin, its a Brooklyn thing I guess, like bro,dude,nukka, etc)"
I actually believed him, lol, until I checked out his capital and his tech level was almost maxed out, lol. Guess he did the "techpoint" cheat a lot, and I mean a lot.
O well, while they might server to help noobs out so they don't keep getting wiped out, I don't recommend cheating. You're better off starting with an emperor in order to broaden your knowledge about the game's systems, tinker with em trying to figure out what everything does than cheating.
Statistically, I'm sure there has to be a high correlation between those who cheat in matters of day to day life, including school, work, relationships, etc, are the ones who cheat in games and definitely are the ones who will more likely cheat in games....
This might be my first post actually.... I shouldn't have gotten that deep into it. If i told people that the main reason for doing it was to check out the which games do I own icons by my username since I just added Warlock 2 which I bought yesterday, they might think something weird of it.
ooo, wow. So none of the icons are showing up.... Maybe I'll have to enable them somehwere. If it depends on me getting promoted from a recruit to whatever it might not ever happen, especially if it depends on how active I'm in the forums or the number of my posts....
edit #2: K, figured it out
