"No cheating"

[jeffk27]

It's one of the multiplayer options. Is this a joke? If it's for real, what does it actually do?

Just a guess here since I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but I would say that it means you can't activate the cheats.

Civ4 has cheats?!?

^worldbuilder and console thingy = "cheats"

It just makes sure that anyone playing that game has not altered their files, and does not allow them to use mods.

All options are available in both MP and SP. No cheating disables all modification tools (World Builder, Modded XML files in Root Folder, etc.) and debug tools. In MP, this is already done, as cheating is not allowed in any MP game ever. Therefore, the option serves no purpose. In SP, it serves two purposes, however:

1. A sort of anti-temptation lock. These are Start Game options that cannot be changed. I always turn it on as somethines the temptation is there.
2. For GOTM. Still, most of GOTM is "On Your Honor" anyway.

NOTE: This does not stop mods from working. It stops modified XML/Python/Other files in GlobalAssets from being used, and root if you have any there (Never Mod Your Root Folder, Ever!!!). IE: Say there is a mod that changes an icon for something. You like that icon, so you put your mod in the GlobalAssets folder, so all mods and main games use it. No Cheats turns it off.
