what is the context here exactly, just curious to know

3

This is the view of the cheater. The red line represents that he directly attacks and selects my unit. Normal players can’t do it

This is the perspective of the cheater. The red line represents that he directly attacks and selects my unit. Normal players can’t do it

5

wild this isn’t acted on at all

6

did you check the replay that there was no scout or previous vision established? b/c one CAN shift click delayed attack moves

Is this related toacted? He directly selected units in the dark

8

which you shouldn’t be able to

9

doesnt the attack move command always show a red line, even if it’s towards a random point?

10

It does. It is to visually indicate to the player that they’ve issued an attack move command towards a specified area. If it encounters enemies while moving to the area it will attack them automatically. A regular move command is denoted as a yellow line.

Just change your mentality: play for fun, without ambitions, without the competitive spirit, assume you play against “bots with advantages” - that was the only solution for me to have fun from time to time. Cause sad to say, but cheating in AoE4 is not an exception, but the norm, and things didn’t change for years, regardless of efforts to curb it via reports, proofs etc.

To put a smile on your face: just finished my probably most amazing 2v2 game, where a guy was chasing my cav, vils etc. continuously with his spears through deepest FoW. To my surprise, turned out the other players were cheating too, including my random mate. xD … and no, there was no “maybe they saw this or that”… all rushed their vils at game start into unknown FoW, in the middle of deer patches, all of them sniped the sheep through FOW. My mate had even a zoom hack.

At that point you start to feel kind of stupid not to use cheats to even the field, when all others (in this match literally, not figuratively) are using them… Leaves just the back to square one: just accept it.
