I guess the moral of the story is that if you are going to mod the game, just give yourself a default galactic readiness of 100% and forget all about the multi-player part of the game, which you no longer need anyway.

Name me another game where modding of the single player is banned by the EULA aside from perhaps any of the CoD games.
On October 1, 2010, Blizzard began the unprecedented act of suspending and banning players for the use of cheats and trainers in SINGLE PLAYER games of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Users found to be using cheats in SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN MODE and AI SKIRMISH mode were treated the same as if they had cheated in a multiplayer online match. For some, their accounts were suspended and for others their CD keys were disabled and they were completely locked out of playing even campaign mode in their legally purchased game.
“I was mostly shocked,” Cheat Happens gm0ney said of the ban e-mail. “Although with all of the news about bans and suspensions coming up, I was somewhat prepared. Blizzard has made it very public in the few months since the game’s release that they would take immediate action against anyone found cheating in any form of StarCraft 2. “We take cheating in our games very seriously,” said a Blizzard spokesperson in a press release. “If you’re caught cheating in Starcraft 2, Blizzard, as per the terms in the EULA reserves the right to ban your battle.net account and/or CD key from ever playing again, online or off." In essence, it’s the language of the EULA that’s in question in the argument as Blizzard states that “playing anything other than an unaltered game client violates the Battle.net terms or use. “We strongly recommend that you avoid using any hacks, cheats or exploits.”

Continue reading, particularly the post from Thomas Abram. Modifying anything (since MP and SP rely on the same file) can lead to a ban. It is not MP-specific.

Seriously?
They're banning people over single-player mods?

BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ONLY MODIFY SINGLEPLAYER, IT USES THE SAME FILE AS MULTIPLAYER. ANY CHANGE DETECTED CAN LEAD TO A BAN, PERIOD.

i asked Thomas Abram for clarification on the different Statements in that Thread, this is his answer:
"Scylla's statement is more accurate then mine. Refer to his for now that being said my statement was more to make people think twice before modifying the coalesced file as it can cause major problems that we really can't help people with if all goes wrong."
So as long as you restore the Original Coalesced when playing MP, you should be fine. (note: my question was only about the coalesced. I don't know what happens if you mod other files)
Hi HJF4,
We are only taking action against players who modify their multiplayer game to gain unfair progression, unfair advantage, or affect the experience of other players.
Examples are (but not limited to):

I'll take the word from a dev over yours....A dev said they arn't banning for modding the sp then they arn't baning for modding the sp. Heck, ME3 already has been modded to hell and back, yet no one has been banned. They will only ban mp modding, which is resonable.Animositisomina wrote...

Yeah, and he specifically deferred to a post from another dev that goes against what you're saying. Which you seem to be ignoring on purpose.
Just saying.
