Hmm, I just thought about a nice cheat. Assuming that you can access the resources from within the Python code could add something increments gold after specific events or each turn.

It would be trivial to implement this. Of course, you are only cheatinmg yourself.

Why stop there? Why not make it that every AI automatically loses the game when they lose a single unit?

Seriously - the biggest drawback of modding (in terms of cheats) is that people become reliant on them.

From the sounds of it, if you want to change the AI, yes. If you want to do "normal" modding, just Python and/or XML.
