Obviously cheat mode is back in Civ 4. Im not sure I will use it, but it sounds cool. What do you think, are you going to use it or not?

How much control does the world builder actually provide the average player? You've probably heard many times that it can be opened during any game. Since it is a very, very detailed system, it is natural to think that it provides the player lots of different options (and this is very true). Just open the editor and you'll see the ability for you to tweak and change everything from Cities, Technologies, Units, and Diplomacy. For cities, you are able to add a specific population number (as the screenshot to the left illustrates), culture points, gold amounts and even change that city's religion. Adding technologies to the ones you already have is also possible. For units, you are able to change the level and promotion type of any available unit as well. Changing the terrain type is also another distinct possibility. Just like you are able to edit Technologies, Cities, and Units for your own Civilization, you are given the option to change these same aspects for the other available Civilizations in the game just as easily. The World Builder even goes as far as letting you change diplomatic options and relations. As you can see, this also opens the doorway for you to cheat in-game. While that may not be as fun as playing the game as it should be played, I'm in no way saying that the Editor is not fun... I have to admit that it really is a marvel.
