Man, these morons complaining about other people cheating in their offline single player games. Who the hell are you to tell other people how to play their games? Why do you even care, you idiot? It's so incredibly dumb I can't even...
Also, it's not always about cheating. Sometimes people just want to roleplay a certain scenario or whatever and these commands help them to establish the specific conditions they want.

@Vorpal, I'm glad we now officially have your permission to play games how we want despite your passive aggressive insults about low skill levels and your poorly veiled superiority complex. Sometimes these commands are useful for bug fixing and testing you know, not just outright cheating. Not to mention useful for bypassing dev's bad decisions and ridiculous whims with mechanics that are just plain toxic sometimes, a fact which occurs more and more in modern game development. Some of the people that get hired to make games are quite frankly morons with no business being in the business so to speak, especially these days. Cheats, console commands and mods give players a way to circumnavigate terrible dev decisions...It's nothing to do with being a *Bad Player*

I have mixed feelings about cheats... For me - I prefer a challenge but this game's UI just seems to try to spam out tier 4 units and win that way... the game AI is very predictable so I don't really know why people "need to" use cheats for this game... on the other hand - I understand that there are lots of people that are not very good at these kind of games and even still there are people that think that they are better then they really are "due to using cheats mostly"... All in all - that is a good list of cheats for this game so if you FEEL you NEED to use them then go ahead... everyone is different and I guess that some people actually need these

no, malersvend(sen)
cheats have been considered commands u press that developers put into the game to break rules at least since the 90s where i was young and most probably they have been around even earlier.
famous examples:
"poweroverwhelming" in starcraft,
"up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start" in contra(probotector (konami cheat codes)
holding "L + R", selecting the last character, then go one further to unlock olaf in rock'n roll racing,
make circles couunterclockwise during intro to unlock hidden characters in mace the dark age...
and many many more.

because more and more people started to use their computer for gaming, and this kind of cheats stopped being popular after the millenium among developers, cheaters were forced to code programs to break rules. just because that became popular, it isn't the "only true way" of cheating, but a kind of evolution of what was called "action replay" for snes f.e.

This is no cheat - this is just console commands - which developers put in the game to use freely.
A cheat - is most often a program you download to enchance the gameplay, therefore bringing 3rd party elements into the game..

As someone who actually likes to cheat in some games, I can't imagine cheating in this particular game is much fun...
