Default Re: All running DOM games with Norfleet

The devs have said that he most likely edited the turn file before he sent them. To put in a permanent change that would continue after going AI would require changing the program that hosted the game. As long as you are fairly sure that its not being hosted on Norfleets computer then things should be fine.

Thanks for the reply, Gandalf!

I am glad that the developers are investigating this. It is great to see that they care about their fan base. Hopefully they can strengthen the cheat detection. Of course, there can always be new ways to cheat, as I well know.

What this info tells me is that, even if the AIs (who were formerly Norfleet) have large gems treasuries right now, it is a one time thing. They will be strong for a while, but will quickly flame out like a streaking meteor.

I like this in that it means I will probably lose to a human instead of suffering the indigination of getting whipped by the AI.
