Cheating?

Post by JoãoCésar »

Hi, I'm new to the game and forum and something weird just happened to me. It was a 3v3 30 min treaty match and I thought my team would win the match because we were developing faster than the other.

But then some weird things happened. I was advancing my troops early and saw the enemies outposts and fort built before the end of the treaty and it attacked me also before the end of the treaty. Is this possible? They also had build walls and trading posts before the end of the treaty and I wasn't allowed to build them :|

It was quite annoying. Unfortunately I didn't rec the match, just took some screeprints of postgame statistics (that don't know if can prove anything). Is it possible that this is some type of cheating? If yes, is there any blacklist out there? If not, please someone explain me what could have happened. ^^

I know... but I'm asking you if that could happen without cheats.

outposts and forts can attack you before the treaty ends. You can build within a radius of your tc so the tp could have been in range of their tc but not yours.

They are probably not cheating. Outposts and forts can attack before the treaty ends because otherwise people can camp in your base with 100 units before treaty and kill everything when it ends, like you were trying to do.

So please don't report them, they aren't cheating afaik.

The reason they could build walls and trade posts before treaty was probably because you can only build in a radius around your town center. You could have built walls but only close to your town center. If you have no trade post near by, that sucks for you but then you can't make any.

yes it is, this is perfectly normal. my treaty time was a cpl of years ago, but all this you are describing is perfectly normal and standard.
this is also why ppl make things like a half map rule (either to extend treaty time or so you dont stand with ur entire army at the enemy TC).
listen to @edeholland.

Ty, you guys were very explanatory. That made me feel really powerless on that game, and since I was in the hurry of it, didnt't realize it could be the normal rules.
And stay calm, i did not report them :)

It actually can!

It's sometimes bugged, unfortunately. Depends on the spawn of the map!

There's also a rare bug that lets all players ignore the build limit completely, and it happens on maps where there is a delay for the tc to spawn, or nomad mode.

From what I hear there is probably some explanation. But it's not clear enough. To say either way.

At a minimum it's not common cheating.

Seems for me like it would be a waste of time to wait 30min treaty time and then cheat when you could have done it after 2min lol
