This is my first game without the graphs (including SP, I might add). I find it more interesting in that you have to actually scout to see what is happening around the world.

But I do understand that the graphs makes it easier to catch cheaters like Norfleet was doing in that tournament game. Though why people feel compelled to cheat, I will never understand. I mean, what is the fun in creating over 4000 gems and limitless gold out of pure air like Norfleet did? I mean, 18 dwarven hammers by turn 22 as (no-earth) Ermor? Give me a frigging break. What a waste of time for everyone involved...


19 Hammers, actually. Kristoffer have missed one that his GK pretender had, I think.

As for your question - beats me. I honestly have no idea what possible fun could someone have by cheating in such way. Perhaps it is some extreme form of "grief player" syndrom, that exist in certian MMRPG. I don't know...

As for the graphs - personaly I dislike them, since they are too accurate to be realistic, and thye significantly deminish the value of intelligence gathering. But I certanly glad that we had them in our tournament game. We would never catched Norfleet without them.
