Default Overzealous cheat detection

I just had the dubious pleasure in a MP game to be confronted with a "Message from Host" stating "Abysia had an unexplainable increase of wealth this turn. This is probably caused by cheating."

The thing is that I am abysia in that game and I know as a fact that I did no such thing.

Since I back up (yeah, yeah, real men...) I have the .trn file from both this and the previous turns as well as my .2h file with the orders I gave Last turn. I will be happy to send them to illwinter along with my password for the game - just let me know where to send them.

Also, given the amount of false alarms of the cheat detection I really think that the text should say "might be caused by cheating" instead of "probably caused by cheating". This bug is way worse than the game crashing since here you might actually give innocent people reputations as cheaters.
