You would need the fatherland file to do this type of thing. Unless Norfleet has access to the Fatherland file then it is a hard thing for him to generate cheat hacks with just the 2h file.

This thread is a hair from being closed, for any interested parties, you can discuss it at/around your own watering holes for anything personal or inflammatory. Or, for even more drastic measures of accusatory cheating, try sending the fatherland file and 2h files from the server (I assume Mosenhansen) to IW for a looksy. Their Email is info@illwinter.com

Are you sure? That was my point, really, that only the state of the game between turns can be stored in the ftherlnd file. Unit orders appear only in the .2h file, and it's hard to tell from the game state whether they were issued legally.

From my tweaking with 2h files, I have found they go corrupted or are overwritten by the fatherland file on turn generation. Though *concievably* (as in, a meteor is going to crash into the earth ... tommorow concievably) you might be able to change it and make it not be overlapped by the fatherland file turn generation or force it to generate a certain type or thing. But I don't know for sure and anything is possible.

The full game with fatherland file has been recieved. We have checked for gem usage inconsistencies. Here are some numbers.

***

Summoned commanders (cost in gems):
4 Wraith Senator (100 D)
3 Spectator (36 D)
46 Dusk Elders (920 D)
- 2 empowered 1 step (60)
- 1 empowered 2 steps (75)
- 2 empowered in new paths (100)
27 Spectral Mages (270 D)
- 2 empowered from 2 to 3 (90 D)
3 Wraith Consuls (105 D)
2 Bane Lords (10 D)
2 Queen of Elemental Air (100 A)

This sums up to
1531 Death gems
100 Air gems
135 gems for empowerment

Norfleet the Ghost King - F4A5W4E4D5N3 (?)

Some items:
- 9 Wraith swords, 3 standard of damned (150 D * 0.75)
- 18 Dwarven Hammers
- 35 Clams
- no fever fetishes at a quick glance (one being made)

Gem income: 55 (15 Death) + 35 clam pearls

Sorceresses: none

***

Regarding Raven Feast. sqrt(unburied)/3 = gems.
Thus 14.400 unburied (pop loss of 144.000) needed for 40 death gems.


Keep further discussions on the matter civil, please.

Isn't 325 gems of Empowerment and not 135 ???

After, I didn't understood very well the formula for Raven Feast, even if I've done some trials.

May Illwinter Staff tells us the results of the check of unconsistencies?

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

The real truth is stranger than the cover, and by far less plausible. I wouldn't believe it myself, and it's not something I control. Suffice it to say I am leaving Dominions II, as no explanation is going to satisfy you.

Goodbye.
