You can manually create the god and scales and everything. Add it to the .map you will play on then turn off the cheat check

This sounds like exactly what we need, and since we trust each other, we don't need to check for cheating.

I haven't done any editing of maps, but as long as it's fairly straightfoward, I should be able to manage. Are there any good examples or tutorials to work from?
