Greetings.

I am not sure how the actual cheating was accomplished. As for game-engine effects, from spending a lot of time analyzing Norfeet's file, it seems to me that the main focus of his cheating was to keep adding about 200 gems to any magic schools when he needed it. Or maybe reseting all magic schools gems to 200. Than he could just used and convert these gems in whatever he wanted to. He must have did it many times thoughout the game, based upon final gem count. Most of his magic gems in the treasury very quite close to 200, except those that he had been using heavely (like fire and death gems). He even had 200 bloodslaves (for whom he had no use though and of course being Ermor he didn't really hunt these slave)

Other game mechanisms appeared to be intact, meaning spells were working the way they supposed to work, items were forged according to the specifications, etc. Whenever Norfleet needed something specific he just used his unlimited amount of gems to empower some of his Elders to do the job, like empowering and boosting 1 elder to Air 5 from air 1, to geting him one of 2 AQ that he summoned during the current turn. Or empowering Elders in Earth to forge him his 19 Dwarven Hammers, etc.

Basicly it seems that it all comes to being able to modify ammount of gems in the treasury on whimp. Or at least this is the feeling feeling I got from studing his file.

I find it ... implausible that you can come up to this conclusion ("He gave himself 200 gems every turn") when you have _ONE_ turn file to examine.

Unless of you you know the exact nature of the cheat that was used?
