So, since my last competition was pretty much a discussion, I'll now close that and move over to this general colony discussion (the others are all specific)
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO COLONY (and beef burgers)
Just to see how it worked, I made 4 lvl 1 accounts on 4 seperate screens and played a few games. When it gives the message that whoever is accused of hacking and is desynchronized, it literally puts them in like a different game. In one game, I had one person accused, and they went on to win in their version, but in the version of the other 3, their team lost. So effectively, one partner got a win, the other a loss. It seems to trigger whenever you spam something for a semi extended period, which is annoying since I generally play low tech, and spam lots of snipers, which can lead to getting accused. I dont know what exactly is causing it, but I figured I'd report what I've found.
Looks like I'll need to work on a 2.6 with people still getting accused... It's quite difficult to get accused unless you are playing for an abnormally long period of time I think. If you are playing the game near the intended pace it shouldn't really give anyone a problem.
But reports are reports, I'll have to double check.
On average, games are designed to last 5-10 minutes. But it could be other factors as well...
I'll have to look into this For 90% of games, it should be okay though. If you play Capitalist, and build like 3 Resource buildings, save up for 10 minutes, then spam Hovers or Snipers, it could think you are hacking.
Meaning of Hacking is that you are trying to find a way to retrieve something that you really wanted in the game like getting huge gold,energy etc. by cheating
Well I think I know why players are getting acused. In the campain the cpus play the complete opposite then the online players do. Online players tech race. If players online played like the cpus in the campian then not only would players not get acused of hacking, the battles willl become more fierce. Well I have too go before I finish this message, I hope know get what I am trying to say.
Tell Krin (if you know how to reach him) to make a server called Hackers. this will alow hackers to hack only in this server, if they were to somehow hack in Glastondale or Beatrix give them a warning that âyou can only hack in the hackers server if you hack in Glastondale or Beatrix again your acount will be kickedâ The War Is Over We Are Trying To Make A Peaceful Resurection.
I mean heck, I love hacking, it sort of lift your spirits when you see an entire army of hovers and know you will win. But I donât like what it does to my opponents and how defenseless they are. (Which iss why I only hack in quick play and hard cpu matches.) But a âno-rulesâ server will be quite fun. Of course Krin will have to code it quite a bit to make sure wins and losses donât affect you there, and also making sure enabling hacks on this server wonât enable them on others. Anyone in the server is fair game. :d
The hacking and programming communities have spoken.
