Sim Speed is how many times faster you can run the game. 6 means you can speed the game up 6 times faster. It's from Supreme Commander, as Demigod uses a modified version of it's engine. This, in no way, effects your game unless the Sim Speed of any one player drops below zero. Then, you're playing a Slide Show.
Due to the method of connectivity, named Peer to Peer, the game is synched - everyone generates their own games, and the data is checked off against everyone elses. If someones data doesn't match everyone elses, the game is labelled as a desync and the game is over. Cheating, as opposed to exploting glitches and bugs, is impossible - hence using this connection method for an online competitive game.
Farming 'n00bs' generates no profit, and it only generates fun if you're playing video games for the wrong reasons.
As I've said a hundred times, we really need to have a lock on people's accounts where by once they lose a game, they're unable to post on the forums for a set period of time - around 8 hours should be sufficent.
