doesnt modding provide players too much power to cheat?

i like to play the game offline so if i mod a race to god like status (ie i NEVER play online)

wouldnt that be a good way to well just plain win

and if so why cant we just go hog wild with our favorate race (mine happens to be vasari)

i know the best way to learn to get good with a game is to have the computer beat the snot outta ya

it has believe me over 40 losses on normal here (ive only won 2 games at normal and those were on small maps which i created)

and wouldnt making your favorate race a bit stronger than normal still be considered cheating?
