Default Re: Cheat Prevention -- exactly what does it prevent?
I though that this cheat-protection had somehting to do with rehosting: A PBEM-Host might copy the directory and host anew if the outcome was bad for him. This was just a guess of mine, since Warlords3 tried to monitor such reloads.

So I know that this is impossible to protect against, but Dominions does not try to detect this, right? Or does it keep track of a random seed, so that rehosting is useless anyway?
