Heh. So it was your turn after all. I thought I feel the change of tactic. Good job.


My damned scout somehow managed to attack the province *before* my ghost riders.

As the result my troops retreating from that scary tantrarian of yours were annihilated.

I had to spend that (previous) turn bringing my AQ back.

Eh? I played this turn.

Yeap, you did.

Sorry, I thought you are going to miss it.

Nah, he's a teddy-bear really (unless you admit to hating the Teletubbies - for some reason that drives him mad...)

Anyway, credit goes to Zap who built and equipped the guy. I just get to play with him.

Duh!

I have idea where this message from host could probably came from guys. *confused* All my gold is totally accounted for, it is my income minus my maintainence, minus some bad events.


The only possible thing I couls think about as a reason for it, is that this warning may have something to do with me alchemising some of my firegems for the cash Last turn. But I have done it several times before in this game, without any problem.

Or maybe it have something to do with server recently upgrading to 2.14 and me still using 2.12?



In any case I am going to upgrade to 2.14 now, since I was just waiting for Mose and my other MP game to upgrade.


I have posted the description if this event together with message from host in bug thread on the top of 1st page. Of course I also offered to send my turns to devs, and I could aslo send them to any 3rd party if anybody would like me to.


I think everybody on this Boards knows that I hate cheating deeply, and have gone to great lengths to expose it in the past. So recieveing this message from the host this turn in my own game was pretty ironic, but at the same time quite disturbing to me. >;(((

There was an issue that the devs raised earlier about blood slaves counts triggering the cheat detection as well, and saying that cheat detection doesn't work for Abysia and Mictlan. I didn't see it fixed in the 2.14 release notes so I wonder if that's fixed as well.

I'll keep it in mind Deccan, thank you.

BTW in my case I have found what was the reason for the alarm this turn. It was indeed an alchemy with Stone, just as I suspected.

From 2.13 patch fixed bugs list:

Using the Alchemist's Stone could falsly trigger the cheat detection.

I am still not sure why it never occured to me before, since I've used Stone in many other MP games, and used it in our game as well several times. (I don't have much use for firegems). But this is clearly it.

Upgrading to 2.14 now as I type it... If anybody else in this game still using patches prior to 2.14 I suggest you do it as well. Just pay special attention to items in your one handed commanders before upgrade
