Hello All,
Some friends and I have been playing a four player game of CIV 4 Beyond the Sword (latest version) via direct IP connection.
We entered the lobby as usual and chatted about setting ect, everything was normal. However, once we entered intot he game we noticed that Cyrus (an AI faction) was visible at once on the player list at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. We all asked the question "That's odd how come he's on the list.
Player X, as he shall be called for the sake of anti-defamation, siad that he had met Cyrus (AI) at the start, or "that it could be a bug." We, being neophytes at multiplayer, believed that everyhting was fine and continued playing.
I have played a team game before, so have noted that the team mates are always next to each other on the list - disturbing the usual decending order by score.
Being trusting sorts we thought, again a bug.
After about 21 hours play, i went to war with Player X as he was the most powerful. Cyrus (AI) also declared war at once.
This is a team right?
Player X is not the host, is there something that can be exploited to team-up with an AI faction before the game starts, some sneaky trick?
Player X also claims that he had a war with Cyrus (AI), and that he hasn't been teamed with him all game. but i am now deeply suspicious of this as he refuses to show me his combat logs or publish his unit losses sheet.
We have had some drops and netwrok issues. Also whenever i log in it asks me if Player X is a "trusted player" as his files don't match up with ours.
This guy has cheated before in Alpha and other games. Is it possible he has cheated in our game of Civ 4?
Any thoughts or links to more information would be most welcome. Thanks.
Uni.
