Why did I get a message from host that Pangaea could be cheating?

Er, don't know. Ubercat - check you've got the correct versions of the mods (download them again, perhaps).

Mod version mismatch is the most likely cause. But this message is almost always erroneous. Very few people in this community are inclined to cheat and there are a number of reasons that message might show (which I can't remember now, but there was a thread about it not that long ago).

Seriously, WTF?? I wouldn't know how to cheat even if I was inclined to be so scummy. (I'm Pangaea btw) As for the mods, I downloaded the latest versions shortly before the game began. Have they changed since we started?

Too much gold? I'm almost broke. lmao

I also received the pangaea message. As I recall the Worthy Heroes was updated on the server to 1.7A. I have not installed the 1.7a upgrade. Could that be the reason? I guess I will upgrade to 1.7A.

Ubercat - don't worry about it, it's probably just a quirk.

Aristander - I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference, but I suppose it would probably be a good idea anyway to upgrade to the new version.

I got the message, too, but I didn't worry about it. I don't expect anyone would cheat here. That message does pop up, rarely.

I suspect it could possibly be related to someone doing extreme settings in their taxation rates (maybe). I'm guessing that maybe jumping to 200% in your home province could set this message off, or something along those lines.

Desperate as my straights currently are, I didn't set my tax to 200%. I was besieged (I think) one or two turns before the message went out, and a big queue of troops in my capital got suspended. When I broke the siege, the queue was released, but for some reason didn't appear to resume production.

I cancelled all the production and then requeued the troops, which I suspected led to the message.

I made a small. 2 player game with myself playing both sides to test my theory, but haven't been able to exactly reproduce the situation yet.
