Dominions III Artificial Intelligence

[Endoperez]

I remember Norfleet, but I only know what he did, not how.

I haven't thought about the matter myself, though. I only remembered reading a similar comment from a dev once. You might well be right in both that the client shouldn't do anything without the server verifying it, AND that then releasing information about the turn files wouldn't give any more possibilities to cheat.

I did a search on Norfleet and I found that he was not the only one that found out how to cheat. Seems like the way to go is just to edit the 2h file with a hexeditor and by trial and error find out what can be done and what can not be done.

It would be possible to play a game where all players are human and then have a external program editing the 2h files for those that you do not plan to play. It would probably be a real painful exprience to do so. I remember whan I sat and decoded the map files in settlers 2 because a map was corrupt.
