I have heard and read you can rush-buy other improvements..and again..maybe you just lie??..but you did say in your self-induced pompous poll..that you CHEAT..and yes you did whoop me..but you cheated doing it..no one can out produce someone that many times over..without cheating..period..

Look yourself in the mirror..not whilst you are ina typical drunken stupor..but whilst you are sober..

actually what you heard is bogus. The only, I repeat, ONLY Bug I can attest to knowing about is Granarys Rush buying. And that works only using a settler.

Give me your email. I will send you all of my PBEM turns. No foul play.....

and once the other posters come. They can attest, that I dont cheat. Far from it, as I said, I am an amatuer. Try playing Gavrushka or blackice. He is somebody who can get 190,000 production in one of the games.

**faded glory** · February 21, 2002, 20:49

Also, you forget. After I get explosives I terraform all forests in the radius and plains into Green Hills and put advanced mines on them.

...
Just wondering how does one do this without sheating??

I think it's not a good idea to have 30 pw always:

Imagine both players settled on same land (river on forest) with a single settler, player A. set pw to 30 since begining, player B. set pw to 0

Decition 1: Build a settler, after 10 turns player B had finished 1 settler, player A still need 3 turns to finish.

Decition 2: Build a warrior, by turn 12 player B finish warrior

Decition 3: Build a granery, it's turn 13 and player A start a warrior.

Decition 4. Build a settler, it's turn 21 and player B have a granery and is ready to start a settler in 9 turns.

Powergraph review turn 30: player A have 2 cities 1 warrior and is near to finish a granery at capital. Player B have 2 cities, 1 warrior 1, granery and 1 settler.

Who have a better powergraph?

I know player A have some nets, farms and roads, player B have nothing but in other 20 turns player B will have doubled the number of cities of A, now can set pw to 50 or 80 for a couple of turns and could have same PW that A accumulate in 40 turns (well not as much but enough to build some mines)

And BTW to play with someone you think will cheat star twith 0 or 100 gold, remember to rush buy you need money, little money = little cheat

It's definitivly a geometrical game. Very interesting, BerXpert.

Since, if you afraid that people cheats on a online game, just save all turns (I hope it's possible), then in case of doubt, a judge must analyse the turns and decided if cheat happens or not...
Have you the save game files ?

Such flaming threads are useless and disturbing for other players.

**faded glory** · February 22, 2002, 10:39

Ya but our game excluded settlers....so, I only had 13-14 cities, same with he.

oh ya,and with pollution off......heh......I had like 1600 per city.

**blackice** · February 22, 2002, 11:08

The rush buy has been argued both ways a cheat and a game flaw to expoit. What I believe to be a cheat is to agree not to use it and use it anyway...There are many more ways to cheat edited game files, slic commands etc those are blatant cheats.

Usually when one player out plays big time another player doubts set in. Hopefully here with us we teach people tricks of the trade so we are all on an even keel. That ensures great gaming and a challenge to all. This is in principal what we have agreed to so lets continue. I have been told I am cheating many times, once I help the player understand some of the basic points they seem to settle down and play better. In some cases end up a far better player than me.

Soon I hope we will have the strategy thread notes to make them available for all. In the mean time do your best to bring people up to speed on things we have learned collectively. It can only make for better matches and more fun for all

No offense to you Mr. ZoboZewarrior, but I started this thread for one reason, and I thank Mr.Blackice for his response. We, that is all of us CTP dedicated gamers, want to play on an even playing field. I cannot prove what I think Saddam is doing, but..he has bragged about cheating and when asked about rush-buying or other strategies, laughs it off as part of the game. If faded..er..um Saddam isnt cheating then......

I >>>>TROLL......Patton...<<<<.or whatever other pseudonym I go by, and I aint the only one whom changes their name.....apologize for accusations, but I aint flaming..I have in the past, but merely ask a question of how does one compete against those that would less than desirable competition levelers.

I didnt start out in this thread saying Faded cheated, he brought his name into this and so I addressed his response.

Faded, I am sorry if I accused you falsely.

But when you laugh about it and I see you admit cheating, then this is how I take it.

I am willing to admit that u have learned tactics far beyond my realmn of gameplay. I took you laughing and admission of cheating as that, you were bragging and taunting!

~extending hand~

This is what I have to offer, for as previously stated, I have no proof, only what i have seen.

The hand is your to take or leave.

Yours In Civin

Troll, Faded has never cheated to my knowledge... He really doesn't need to ..... I tell you what..... Play me, You host, and save on a turn by turn basis..... It COULD be that your strategy is not the best, I often get 5 or 6 times ahead on the P.G. of a player that has not played online very much, or has not fully understood the depth of strategy in the game... There is a Multiplayer Strategy guide close to the top in this Forum- give it a read and see what you think.... And the P.G. means nothing until later in the game.... IF you concentrate on city building, you are delaying your P.G. rise, as every settler that settles a new city drops you down on powergraph ( CTP recognises it as a disbanded settler) - it is only when you get city improvements and production up that this changes, also 30% public works reduces the steepness of your powergraph by 30% (again delayed production, or Investment)

There are recognised cheaters..... But there are honest players too- Blackice has crusaded long and hard to identify them and counter there cheats... we can speak privately to point these out to you....
