I could not report the player because I existed the game believing there was actually that many relics on the map.
Could you please report that player ?
Thanks
(method involves attempting to garrison monk holding relic then dropping relic and still garrisoning from what I can tell. Or something like that. Needs fixed ASAP)
Yeah it’s annoying, I hope there will be consequences for the players abusing this bug on the ladder.
Also, it’s easy to detect with a script parsing the recorded games.
They could look for the suspicious set of instructions or do a sanity check on the number of relic collected per player.
Is there any way to report players specifically for this exploit? Can we use a code in the text associated with the ingame report to streamline bans for this?
Made an account just to comment on this. I tried it in single player skirmish against AI and it is not only very easy to perform, it is ungodly broken. Even more so with a race with a relic bonus like Burgundians where it gives infinite gold AND food. It needs to get fixed right away. If that means removing the option to drop relics, I’m fine with that. Its use is very very situational. Given the option between fighting cheaters with infinite money in ranked and not being able to drop a relic, I choose the latter.
I use the cheating option, and I manually type relic exploit in the text box.
My concern is mainlyu what will be the consequences for the player abusing it. But I have a feeling nothing will happen to them unfortunatly.
Yep you are 100% right, I would also have prefered that option to be removed as soon as the bug was discovered, or even the relics removed from the ladder, until a proper fix is done.
Thanks for you work and good luck.
Do you have any visibility on what will happen to the players abusing this please ?
It has been ruining most team game on the ladder lately.
Also could you report that player from the recorded game I linked please ?
I was not able to do it since I only discovered it while watching the replay.
Thank you !
