Here are presented two pictures of one of my games. Nothing very impressive... Yet, first picture, "This is where it al started" is depicting a moment where I started using cheating due to lack of money.
The latter, "This is where it went on" shows situation after many many years and very many times used cheat code...
I'm not very proud of myself, even more, I'm ashamed of myself... If anyone is interested in GM2 files, I have both of them but I'll post them only "on demand"...

Good to see pictures Mad Dog.  

Glad you was able to get past the initial uncertainty over how to capture screenshots.  

Apart from the code - what were your money making plans ? which industy..any tourism...?

Was the power station causing any pollution problems ?

Keep the pictures coming

Well... I was lucky I started with 40 people, I had place to place sugar farm and money to build high school and college early in the game, together with the church and few apartments and tenements... My plan was to develop rum-distilery and achieve alliance with Russia... well obvious it backfired...
Anyway... difficulty of the game is 63%.
At the present moment I have 11 years to go (it's 70 years game), but I don't think I'll finish it, it just doesn't seem fair, I cheated too much... although the great deal is in having enough money to invest...
Pitty there's no any International Monetary Fund stand by arrangement or something... USA crediting in cash, USSR giving it's products for bananas... I don't know... just silly ideas...
Regarding pollution, I have some trouble, especially 'round mine and power plant... as far as I can remember...
I wonder, how many of you can say to open public "I cheat"
I did it, and it made me feel better... How about you?

I cheat but not via codes nor via saved games reloaded after a bad event.

In Trop1 I used to fiddle with the entertainment and hotel fees at month end.  

In Trop2 I scam loads of ways.  I feel good about it.

Definitions of cheating vary.  I say whatever style gives you pleasure.  Each to their own.  

If you are playing a new game then rationalise your cheating as an alternative to playing with game settings set on very easy.  Its a way of learning the game and avoiding being kicked out of office.

Oi, you people are....how can I say this politely.....tropico geeks? It can't be that bad to admit you cheat in the game, after all, it is ONLY a game!! I cheat, and with a care-free attitude.
