Hi,
This is what happened to me and other players recently 1-2 days ago.
I only play Delhi in ranked in this season, and as you know, everytime you select a civ it is also selected by default for the next game, and the civ NEVER changes if you don’t select others.
I finished a Delhi game, I went for another one in ranked, the game started and what I found is that Ottomans was selected!! WTF? I said, ok, I don’t know how, I never touch the civ but maybe a misclick or something. Obviously I lost the game and after one day I found this with that specific player:
Everytime this player plays ranked, the opponent is Ottos or China. This is unusual and stinks. This clearly explains why I played with Ottos when I NEVER touch or play with them.
It makes me think that this could be a cheat that makes the opponent play the civ the cheater wants.
Does it ever happen to you ?? Am I crazy or just a random bug affecting everyone?
