With the replay function, it just wouldn't be possible against an opponent with their eyes open. Nothing is hidden, not your money, not your troops... the enemy sees everything you do.

It would only take one person to catch someone at it for them to get banned. This would be a very hard game to cheat at, in so far as it's hard to cheat and get away with it. Since almost everything is handled client side, I wouldn't think it's that hard to actually cheat.

thats true but cheats that do things like revealing secret allies could give an advantage and be difficult to detect form a replay.

If the server sends the enemies secret allies information, then I can see cheating potential. As long as the client only receives what the client needs to know, then nothing much can happen.
