Cheating isn't wrong at all. However, for me, with Civ V, it is a challenge but I felt like as I learned more strategy and technique I could be successful. So, that is why I said it felt wrong, but it isn't really wrong. I can stop cheating at any time, certainly, but I know sometimes cheating does ruin some aspects. I've played football manager before with players edited to have 20s in all attributes, and it does kind of sour the normal game experience in some ways because no player in the game is going to be that good, so you know how well players who are "perfect" do. It's as if you've seen perfection so nothing else can compare. BUT I have loads of fun in FM anyways because in game and external editors are included with the game(external) or $5 download(internal) but both are licensed and provided Sports Interactive themselves...it's meant to be played however you want.

I guess my fear is, after using this editor, can I go back to playing vanilla? I can stop cheating, but if I get super annoyed at basic tenets of the game like accruing culture points to spend on policies...I don't know. But cheating means I get no satisfaction from doing well. I may be having fun, yes, but satisfaction and accomplishment are different.

Ultimately that was a huge jumble of word salad I'm not even sure if I got out the point I wanted to get out. I'm actually sorry for having you read that, PO(but of course I wasn't going to appologize ahead of time, see...)
