Unsinkable Trireme

[Spartan_RawB]

I was playing a long-time former friend today and I found out that he was using the unsinkable cheat. He had done this on prior occasions as well and had justified at along various lines of:

1) He claims this is "knowledge."
2) He figures other people do it.
3) He figures he'll never be caught with his "I always risk my boats" excuse.

I caught him on 3 occasions using the boat cheat in our games, and I figure he does this in every game. Today was the last time I would tolerate this cheating, however, for I warned him not to do it and gave him the benefit of the doubt on previous occasions.

So confirm for us all. The unsinkable boat is a cheat, am I not right?

never heard of it.. & who was this so called cheater

[Spartan_RawB]

I will not reveal his true identity, but his zone name is Zeppelin. It's only fair to let everyone know that he uses the boat cheat. He admits to the deed as well.

thats why i stopped playing on the zone a long time ago..... can never trust anyone

[Smash]

tough one to check for.Yes its definitly a cheat.

its done by just moving 2 spaces,press W(wait) and using the end turn keyboard shortcut.Same techinque that is used to keep missles and planes aloft forever if you want.

Yup, that's a classic cheat originally used by the AI to prevent it's unit from crashing mid air.

[HawkHunter]

oh ok i knew about how to do that .. thought it might be a program... & why wont you say who old name was

[Spartan_RawB]

Because out of old friendship's sake, I pledged not to dishonor his real name. That's all. I do not consider him a friend, because he lied straight to my face. Said he'd never do it again, but again and again, he used it in every game he played with me.

I agree that this is a cheat that should not be allowed. I've posted in our rules set for this to be included as not allowed.

Thanks for reminding us of this one. I had forgotten about it.

It's an old CHEAT... and I don't think I remember anybody in the old days defending the use of this trick.
People that use it should be taken out and shot

[War4ever]

lynch him, i have never used this cheat. cheating is pointless

I just assume everyone at the zone cheats. I was playing someone there this week and getting lag when I was hosting, lol!

I destroyed a hydey city this weekend and he was left with a tri sticking out of a land square. So he attacked me with it - we just laughed about it.

[HawkHunter]

hey i resent that... i'm a zonner & i dont cheat .. we all dont cheat.. most dont finnish there games but we all dont cheat

[Alexander's Horse]

I didn't say everyone cheats at the zone - I said I assume everyone cheats. Saves time later

[HawkHunter]

i'm sorry you did say that .. i gotta read more carefully
