Could I have a look at some of the saves?

[Cyrion]

Henrik: please do!!!

[Jacobite1688]

Yes, Henrik! You are well-respected around these parts, what is your oppinion?

[Henrik]

Ok, after looking at the saves for 1904, 1905 and 1906 this is what I've discovered:

Germany has never gained more units than she could rush buy, in 1904 she had 35 field artillery and 22 where in production, the following year the germans had 56 field artillery.
The same goes for all germanys turns, more units than germany had cities therefore never happened (which is disturbing since the report screen seems to have told us so, there must be a bug in the civ engine (either that or someone counted wrong )).

However, between 1904 and 1905 no units where rush bought at all!
In fact, none where even near completion.

Only one german city is capable of building a field artillery on its own in one turn.

Therefore atleast 20 field artilleries seems to have mysteriously materialized out of thin air...

In 1904 germany is running an aproximatly 200 gold deficiet, yet they gain 100 gold the between this turn and the next.
In 1905 they are only running a deficiet of 100 gold, yet they gain 100 gold this turn as well...

These incomes could be the effect of trading, however Germany hasn't got a single trade unit, in either of these saves.

Furthermore it is strange that 35 german cites has factories and all of them have steel mills!
This doesn't need to be cheating, it's just very unusual (atleast this early in the scenario).

With all these things in mind, it seems extremely unlikely that the German player hasn't cheated.

Thanks Henrik, even if I would have prefered your observations to lead us in another direction...

So, what now???

[Jacobite1688]

[The ANZAC]

I do, but it seems that much is working against Scott

[Jacobite1688]

[Cyrion]

I'm willing to believe him, but the longer he waits before answering, the more my confidence disappears...
