Okay, what about this Cheat thing?

[Siris]

So how do we detect if someone is useing cheats while were hosting, or if we join a game? And how do we disable that, or kick them out of the room?

I've only fought six multiplayer battles, all won so far, heh, some were very hard, others quite simple, but want to ensure when I do lose soon that I dont lose to a cheat!

You can see if its cheating if a faction is using a unit its not supposed to have or if units have more men than normal or if a player has too many good units/upgrades. Some more easier to notice than others.

A unit has a small flag for each upgrade but as you cant see what type of upgrade it is (weapon and armour upgrades cheaper than experience) its not gonna be easy to tell if a player really is cheating. Except if playing at lower denarii levels where most people wouldnt buy upgrades anyway.

The host can kick players but only before a battle starts and no one can see if someone is cheating until a battle starts.

I dont know widespread cheating really is (and not always easy to tell) so you have to be careful accusing players of being cheaters just because you lose a battle.

CA turned MP into a mess when they allowed cheating for RTW and all we really can do is to play with people we trust or not play at all and just wait for CA to clear out this mess.

Even if there is no cheating, 50% of the games go out of sync. Feel free to waste your time playing MP.

the "out of sync" during the last few days is worse than ever maybe :(

Aaaah, Wolf_Paolai! Sync got perhaps worse, but not as much that I could persuade myself that the mop-up operation you performed on me few days ago hasn’t happened as it did, and that I’ve actually won!
