I looked into the cheat game. I think this is possible using the trick I found. I also found out that it's possible to build castles for free.

Also I have another game which was hosted on my server where Calmon suspected that Norfleet might be cheating. Norfleet wanted me to delete the game files... Well, I think I'm going to look into this as well.

I haven't informed the devs yet. Just got up and wanted to try spell casting and empowerment as well... Actually, I think the devs know by now how it's possible to do this. The anti-cheat protection tries to protect exactly against this kind of cheat but it's just not sophisticated enough.

I can imagine that it might be quite hard to fix all the holes but maybe there's a technique to protect against it programatically.
Well whatever it is you are doing, the sending just list of commands to server and nothing else, to be performed and calculated by the server based upon your "begining of the turn state" should be enough to prevent it, correct? (and please don't say anymore details about it )

It may reqire quite a bit of recoding on the part of Illwinter though, depending on how exactly did they structured their sourse code. But it sounds to me like a good way to aproach the problem, based upon what we know about recent developments.
