Is this cheating?

bongo's insight:
People may also have learned how to cirumvent the security mechanics.

Clearly a possibility in any case of cheating. I'd speculate that when the CIA get caught at something they don't just give up.

In the case I was referring to I'm confident that people just got on with the turns, because the average turn-around time went from hours with multiple reload/resaves to 5-15 minute turns with no reloads/resaves.
This is what I referred to as smoothly and quickly.

In a multiplayer game I will assume that I am not going to find any iron and will pick a civ accordingly. You either want a good meaty unit or one you can mass produce in ridiculous numbers to compensate for casualties.

Thus the Greeks, Sumerians, and possibly the Carthaginians
