PBEM fair play?

[GrendelS]

Hi,
fairly new to this way of playing civ, I´d like to know whether it is possible to prevent ppl from cheating (either using an editor or reloading a savegame). Would spoil the whole fun in the game.
thx

well PBEM is fairly well sewed up now with the passwords for each player and the blacked out screen at the turn start whilst your production cycles, and the only way to stuff reloaders up is to set the preserve random seed in the game set up options

This applies to conquests version 1.22

Thank you for the answer. Creating my own scenario, I can see the location of other cities on the map overview (not on the bit screen though), they appear as one bright dot. Usually there are two dots per civilization, the capital and the starting location... don´t know how to prevent that, I haven´t played around with the FoW feature.
