Cheats

One weakness of the DW MP system is that the host is free to make whatever edits to the doctrine files that he sees fit... that is to say, cheating is incredibly easy if you know beforehand what the game setup is going to be. However, the game will at least "work correctly" within the limits of the edits to the doctrine files. The only solution to this is to only play with hosts you trust.

If you get Database warnings when entering a game, then assume the game is not going to work right, whether someone is actively cheating or not... it's basically a waste of time to play when you have had a Database warning, so refuse the game in that case or insist that everyone checks their database to make sure they are running the official LWAMI or stock databases.
