Spotted my first CHEATER today!

Thanks for the reply, Kenchi_Sulla.

I'm beginning to see that having as many slots full as possible is the way to go, rather than spending money on upgrades.

Apologies for my ignorance.

[Kenchi_Sulla]

You have nothing to apologise for mate..... if you want to have some fun online, drop me a pm in steam (Kenchi_Sulla nick)... Perhaps we could shape you up a bit.

ps

you should have seen my first ever multiplayer game in MTW:Vi....

To sum up - when you see cheater, do as much screens as you can.

[Megas Methuselah]

I play with the unplayable factions online, including Wurttemberg, Khanate of Khiva, Quebec, and the Powhatan Confederacy.

Does that make me a cheater?

[KrooK]

If you are not asking if you can play with unplayable fractions - I think it makes you cheater.

[Megas Methuselah]

Dang. I never ask. Thanks for the tip.

What would be the advantages gained from playing the unplayables?

Edit: At land or at sea?

[Scurvy]

It's not so much the advantage as the ability to modify/change the game, it immediately makes people suspicious that more changes have been made(I was in a game where people accused someone of cheating for choosing non-orig. faction, even though he lost and all the units were normal)

thats why asking if its okay is a nice thing to do imo, just to reassure people

agreed.. simple solution is to unlock them through an official patch at the same time they fix version control... then everyone is happy

Simple Tomisama.
You know what stats have enemy units, while enemy doesn't know your stats.
