at the party chiming in when you want to hear your own voice. if seeing your name amuses you, build a web page. Ming does not need your opinion on what belongs where, so comment on this topic or do not reply. it is that simple. you are off-topic, you need to make sence, and comment on the topic. YOU make posts, to make posts. i make posts when i have something to say. |
As i stated above, this forum is for MP games, not for checking whether somene cheated a t SP. There are forums for SP and the "EXPERTS" post there regularly and would be able to make better decision as to whether this guy cheated or not.
As to your comments as to ALL my posts being useless that is your opinion, but I to the people I play MP games with and in those threads my posts are informative and fun.

quite the contrary. In fact, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an advanced tribe that has no special in it. If you cant see a special in the city radius, the special(s) are hidden under grassland. Advanced tribes have ALWAYS specials in it. that is something i can say with 100% certainty.

Interested in any possible advantage of knowing this in a MP games.

it's a waste of time to test the validation of my statement, it is the simple trueth. all you need to do to see it, is make a map with only forrest on it. you will see that the hut pattern is related to the specials pattern. it is impossible to find a hut where there is no special in the radius also. therefor all advanced tribes (huts) have specials in the radius.

probably 9 of 10 players cheat in their single games by reloading huts or revealing the map in the beginning. so statistically he cheated |
Huh? No way! I can see 1 or 2 people out of 10 doing that, but no where near 9 out of 10. The whole point of playing is to be challenged, whats the point of cheating yourself?
Yup, I too learned something, mine those grass squares that fit the specials' patterns.

Now I know Shadowdale, and I know he did not cheat. It seems to me like you, Eyes, are jaleous or something. You can't stop talking about this, neither here nor at CFC. You only uploaded 1 savegame, of the nine Shadowdale had. Besides, multiplayer is something totally different than playing against the AI. Shadowdale says he didn't play you, unless you want to say you are Thunderfall or Vladimir_Illyich_Lenein. But I don't think so. Just shut up Eyes.

Look, he didn't cheat. Shadowdale is a highly-regarded member of CFC, and a proven expert in high-scoring SP games. He has never demonstrated anything but deep understanding of how the game works, unlike Eyes, who continuously embarrasses himself by arguing about that which he knows nothing about--namely SP games.
A state of famine while using a massive number of food caravans? Please. Try it yourself before calling someone a cheat. THe point is to manage your famine so that points are maximized as your SS lands. Smash is absolutely right about the use of caravans and expert trade-tweaking, as his OCC experience would reveal. You, Eyes, I doubt could even manage to hold a workable democracy. No defending units in many cities? THey're not needed, even in raging horde on deity. Why build Leo's if it's obsolete? Because this game was about points that's why. I could go on point by point, but I'll just say that no valid 'proof' has yet been raised.
THe only possibility that remains is the save/reload cheat. But I say consider this: This game was about Shadowdale testing himself, his own limitations. He has no need to cheat. He was already rightly regarded as the best SP player--as far as scoring goes--at CFC. Why would he waste months of his life except for personal motivations? Is that a concept you can even understand, Eyes?
MP'ers are always going on about how playing against the AI is predictable and easy. How then can you turn around and accuse someone of winning easily? C'mon.
I have no idea how many out there cheat against the AI and I couldn't care less. BUt if you're in that category and thus find it hard to believe that perceived limitations can be pushed 'legally,' let me tell you now: You are not truly improving your game by humming and hawing and lying to yourselves. Shadowdale did not cheat, and such a game is entirely possible. In fact, knowing him, I'd say it was inevitable that he'd be the one to have achieved it.
The End.
(aka goodbye_mr_bond @ CFC)

There is a rule about this I read in another thread that goes something like this
Every hut has a special 2 movements in the 9 or 1 direction on the keyboard away, whether it is seen or not.
I don't remember who came up with it but I do find it very handy
