And he SURRENDERED :DDDD

Beautiful. Everything by the cheaters' book:
- 1 min boot
- multi attack on - no info about that
- rigged two territories (South Pole and Middle East) - no info about that.

And he STILL lost. Great game!

Might've been an interesting game from there. he got the 405 bonus first, but couldn't reach you before you go the same from ME. You had better expansion options, but with income that juiced it hardly matters.

if he hadn't surrendered, he coulda captured ME with that income before he managed to capture ME, lol

Yeah, you're right -- cause +5 wouldn't be enough to take ME the next turn so he'd have an 810 army advantage in 4 turns when he reached the border of ME and Africa. I think he'd have won fairly easily from there.

I suddenly want to play a game with 2 super bonuses and see how it turns out.. I would make it fair though.. custom scenario where the players start with both of them.. with MA it would be fun seeing how people steal and counter-steal each other's bonuses :P

He wasn't even cheating well. I had a guy who made a custom game that instantly gave him the insane bonus while we were all trapped behind giant neutral zones. Of course thats what I get for not checking custom settings

I think i might make an open game and title it I'm cheating, and see who comes

I'm cheatings i guess.. must be like smeagol and can't talks properlys..

there is no cheating on warlight
any fool can change bonus amounts and make it look like there hacking even though they are not

Other than the title of the game how were the settigns a "cheat"?

I also got intrigued by the idea of starting super bonuses. With WL's default attack/defense settings that would be a draw most of the time. The key would be to make them strong, but not so overpowering that bonuses woudln't effect the game. It might also make sense to juice attack/defense to 80/70 so players don't become complacent. Also incentivize attacking with valuable cards. 5+ player FFA would be optimal. Everyone would fill in he board very very quickly starting with a very high bonus. Getting two or more startign bonuses would be decisive. Sicne everything is filled in and there's an advantage to defending with high incomes -- it'll encourage walls. But if you give a powerful sanction card relatively quickly, players that don't attack will find themselve's losing most of their income to aggressors (unfortuantely they also prolong games and cause mroe stalemates by encouraging players to play them on whoever's in the lead). Maybe a high reinforcement card instead. Something to counterbalance the defense advantage and incentivise aggressive strategies.

I'll play with this idea at soem point.

it wasn't duke, i just wanted a reaction, the guy let me down.. it was strategic 1v1, lol
