Okay, what about this Cheat thing?

I've sceen in a few topics in a few forums for RTW, that some people are complaining to others about cheats, in game.... Multiplayer that is.

What are you talking about?! I hosted many times this weekend, saw nothing "cheat" related, so are some people hacking or something? Information please!!! As to how to notice, detect, & stop it, if its occuring.

Yes its possible to cheat. It can be done in several ways but the most difficult way of seeing it is by changing the unit costs. That way the cheater can either buy better units of just get more upgrades.

At least when you play at lower denarii levels of 10k and below you wont see many upgrades on units and each upgrade can be seen as a small flag on a unit. So it will be easier to spot.

There is not that much we can do about right now except to play with people you trust. CA is aware of the problems so it will be fixed for the 1.2 patch.

Ah okay, that's cool. Because I've only fought very weak guys so far, it seemed at least. My first fight I wont 90% to 10% loss, whipped his butt, and he is a clan guy lol! Won three fights with my Uncle, & won another 2v2, then won one more multiplayer one. So no sight of cheaters yet, but just making sure on the matter.

Why do guys cheat! It makes it no fun! Its fun to win or lose with what your supposed to have than to win with unbeatable odds.

And if it isn't, it might get fixed in the add-on, and, if not then, it might get fixed in the patch to the add-on, and, if not then, it might get fixed in the next game in the series, and, if not then.....

I seem to recall than in MTW, whenever I hosted, if someone was cheating I would get a message. Then I would kick the person. I see no purpose in cheating, its just dumb.

But, there is a difference in cheating and someone being really good. I should now, i was called a cheater just because I woppeed 3 guys in the same battle. LOL that was my greatest mp victory, after that I went 15 straight games without losing.

So my point, not always is someone cheating it maybe because his/her is good at the game.
