what's the arrow key exploit?

I think the "arrow exploit" is where you change production at the begining of your turn by using the games function that zooms to a city where a production item was completed. It then lets you cycle through the cities using the "arrow" keys. This would allow a person to change production or even rush items on that turn if a situation arose. I consider it a cheat.

As BigFree mentions, the arrow keys can be used for changing production/worker allocation to respond to something like a loss of luxuries between turns. There's also something called the 'gold mine' exploit, basically the same process used to get extra commerce from your cities.

I think alot of newer players cycle through their cities this way without realizing it might be a cheat (I did at first). The blacked out map in 1.22 is actually a good reminder that production for your cities is still being calculated, so you shouldn't change any settings.

indeed, yet as E_T will not be upgrading this game will have to stay with all of the v1.15 issues - including the fact anyone can see all through the other players civs whenever they want

Hmmm, I'm reconsidering. Give me a few more days....

E_T how are you going on the v1.22 issue?

[BigFree]

I doubt he checks this thread that often.
