Using him as intended sounds reasonable. It's the copy-paste that is clearly naughty.

He's just a very, very naughty boy...err sorry.

Are they any other cheating / bug abuse rules on your server, llama? Maybe a list somewhere? I'm not a fan of bug abuse anyway, but a list would be nice.

The American people already know that Meglobob is a bad boy - a naughty boy. I�m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Meglobob is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.

... err sorry. Ignore the foot-tapping senator.

Heh! I have never used the attack commander/fire commander orders in MP. Only in SP. I know 2 people who have thou, 1 against me.

In future I will avoid telling anymore/sharing insights into the game. People always shoot the messenger.

Oh, I don't mind. I've just saw the opportunity to quote Larry "I am not gay" Craig. And I had to run with it, despite it being in poor taste.

Here in America, we don't shoot the messenger, we have them run our government...

Okay... that bit was weak. Sorry.
I'm barely restraining myself from other lame attempts at humor. I had one good line, and it wasn't off of a [self-censored].

And it appears the original question was answered. I guess there's no way to awkwardly transition back on topic. I'll shut up now.

It is an exploit to copy the attack commander command to other units. it is cheating the same as if you hack someone's turn and did something to it. Major bug, major exploit.

I would not feel like I really won a game where i cheated to win. just me. While I am only hosting the epic heroes game, if i saw a player's units attacking my commanders they would be set to AI.

You know it when you see it.

This is quite absurd, the two are not remotely comparable. It is far more akin to for instance the accepted tactic of archer decoying, than hacking the game. Now, I have never personally employed the tactic in MP, but I would certainly not hold it against anyone that used it against me.

It takes a good amount of luck to get in a position to take advantage of bogus, and the orders are far from the overwhelming advantage that seems to be implied by most people. It would actually be fairly difficult to use in a gamebreaking way in the lategame where the issue usually occurs.

And I used to burn Bogus and his squad to cinders while playing an astral heavy faction....
I'm sure that now, I wont see them anymore.

Oh sorry, I missed WonderLlama's question.

The only things I can think of at the moment are the issue under discussion, and also casting Mists of Deception before retreating (the battle never ends as more and more misty things appear, until the opponent is beaten). That's also definitely naughty. I think that might be being fixed in the new patch though, although I'm not certain.
