Do you cheat?

[Asereje]

It's simple, is interesting to know the percentage of players that cheat.

If you'd like to choose more than one answer, choose the answer that is the biggest cheat, or the cheat taht you commit more usually (at your opinion).

I voted 'No, I'm honest'... because it's closer than the other options.

I DID change the source code once to cheat, but then it doesn't count because I wasn't 'playing Wesnoth'! Cheating is not part of playing Wesnoth, and I don't spwnd much time 'cheating Wesnoth'.

Actually, sometimes I saveload at important moves, and sometimes I saveload at unimportant ones... I'm really unpredictable.

During my first games, I did save and reload a lot to pass through difficult scenarios.
Now, after having played many times the same scenario, I began it from the beginning trying to find a better way.
It teachs me more but is longer to achieve only the Bay of Pearls scenarios.

I generally play on medium and don't cheat. But if I'm doing a playthrough of something I wrote I save every turn, and if I lose a 'speaking' character I go back a few turns. I think if you're just playing for fun you should try to avoid save / load playing. . .

I save often a load occasionally -- when I realize I messed it up around turn 20, I just start from a save before this point. I don't see much fun in playing the first 18 turns again, with the same strategy.

I edit savegames to add more gold
I edit savegames to improve my units and/or heal them

Are you implying that those are the only two ways that savefile editing can give you an advantage?

[Gimli]

I do some save/reload, because some scenarios are simply too annoying to replay from scratch everytime some stupid charachter gets killed.
Also, the only way I've found to complete The Sceptre of Fire is looking in the savefile where in the hell the Sceptre is.

When i started playing Wesnoth 0.6.99.5 i always did that ^^ !!!

Nowadays I have made myself a promise...I can only rload one time per level ...

[turin]

I'll reload when, say, a revenant with a 40% chance to hit hits every time and kills Gweddry... other than that, i'm pretty 'legal'.

Mmm no, I'm not implying nor making any logic statement... They are only the two options that came first to my mind.

There's an "Other (plase specify)" option in the case that somebody had more imagination than me and applied it to cheat.

Hm, I normally save turn 1, and explore a different part of the map when I don't find it the first time (which happens rarely).

[Sangel]

Last trip through Sceptre of Fire I got lucky. The Sceptre of Fire was after the first two leaders, but in a big cavern before the last two.

[Na'enthos]

I edited the saved game of sceptre to 'teleport' my units close to the sceptre.. really, that is one of the most annoying scenarios in the game, and I had no intention of doing it all over just because the sceptre happened to be somewhere else (way on the other side of the map).

For the rest.. I try to refrain from save-reloading, but sometimes I can't help it.

lol... if u need ta cheat when u play wesnoth u got some problems...

[MadMax]

I use debug mode for what it's supposed to do: debug. But I have edited savefiles before. I doctored a TROW file to make Edmond a Mage of Light, Sir Ruddry a Grand Knight, Haldric a Lord, and Burin a Lord. Also, I added the ability to recruit dwarves, and gave myself 5 runemasters to boot.
