If team victories are allowed in that game, then you could argue that the empire is indeed getting something in return.

And I think calling it cheating is going a little too far in any case.

That may be true. I tend to do that. But it sure stinks. The idea of a team game I think is one in which all the players try their best and at the same time help each other out and cooperate against the other team. But this type of thing isn't that at all. It's one player who isn't even trying in the game and the only purpose they serve is as an artificial resource generator for the other players on his team. If this isn't a clear violation of the letter, it's at least one of the spirit of it.
