tinyE: What do you mean 'cheap'? I'm not trying to be a smart ass here, I swear, I don't get what cheap means in this context.
Tallima: "Does it cheat?" I think is the question. One of the Empire Earths, for instance (I think the first), can generate resources even without access to any resources. It cheats to make itself harder.
P.S. Where did your rep go? It was as high as mine last month.
No they don't cheat, at least in my mind. They are just incredibly efficient at attacking you where your defenses are the weakest. Now some people would say that is cheating but that to me is good scouting.
With games like StarCraft and Settlers you can lure baddies into ambushes and traps but in Cossacks they see that stuff coming and avoid it.
