Now before you all guys think of the possible explanations
Fascinating. I too want to steer clear of anything accusative, but this has got me thinking to what would or would not be possible if anyone should discover how to hack the .2h file.

Most game state information is going to be on the server, but the one thing that the server needs from the client is unit orders.

Suppose I was able to alter my .2h file so that my indy commander (say) had the order "Forge Ring of Wizardry". It would be hard or impossible for the server to calculate whether I had actually spent gems in the process, and it probably doesn't check to see if the commander had astral level 5 either, as it trusts the Dominions client to check that sort of thing. Comments?
