I  was proceeding along without cheats in the last orc level but ran
out of gold.  I almost got to the end, but lost all my men trying.
When I used the gold cheat the opposition began creating even more
units than I could handle, that is until I discovered the strategy to
beat the level.  Then I went back to the last save before using the
cheat and using up all my gold, used the strategy I had discovered and
beat the level again.
