Aww.. I have actually played against cheaters though, it's interesting to see how long you can hold up against someone with infinite money.
I remember a game when we actually outlasted these guys. It was a 3v3 match and we took control of about 70% of the oil on the map, and in the early game only one of the players appeared to be a threat. We believe that he shared his techs and infinite oil to the other players who appeared to be just innocent noobs. We realized that they were cheating when they started spamming out expensive, badly designed units from all factories, while building row upon row of ripple batteries. At first we made some strikes with plasmite flamer hovers to take them out, but then they started building lots of plasma cannons along with the ripples. When we begun airstriking them they started to build huge rows of aa turrets, too.
Still, by utilizing their weaknesses as long as we could, we managed to keep most of the oil so we had enough money to fight back. We decided to take out the most clueless player so we overran and completely destroyed his base while the others were busy building huge defences. What I did't know was that he either escaped with one truck or they gave him one, so he built 5 factories in the other guy's base and spammed out a huge heap of twin assault gun tanks, and while I was building new oil derricks and some defences in his base he suddenly came back, destroyed everything and built missile fortresses everywhere, so we were back at our old positions again. However, now everyone had researched so far as to have laser satellites and visibility everywhere, so we continuously blasted away their laser satellites with our own. The battle was so long-winded that they started to lose their hope of ever defeating us (we had battled for almost 3 hours if not more). One of the other players made a final attempt of estabilishing a forward base using huge amounts of heavy laser wyvern tracks and some truck units, but as soon as he went out of range of the AA laser batteries and started building something, he was instantly destroyed by our heavy plasmite bomb vtol:s, so he quit, and soon, the other guys followed his example.
