Why do not the ageofempires support ban such as the player "MadRussian"?

He had cheated on a shared game we had vietnamese burgundians and vikings on a 10x 256x shared game he used alone the wheel barrow double bit axe all the rest did not get any of the technologies enabled. He is a hacker, he was alone on 1140 and rest of us all on 200 on first two minutes.Please
Ban Him.

Here is the video for the information provided as following:

Burgundians have a civ bonus where they are able to access their economy technologies one age earlier. They also cost less food.
See:

This means wheelbarrow and double-bit axe is available in the Dark Age, hand cart and bow saw is available in the Feudal Age, etc.

I have not reviewed the data mod but I’m assuming that the mod did not bother to share the Burgundian bonus, which might explain why only the Burgundian player (and not the team) received the bonus.

The 256x tech appears to be implemented scenario-side. Presumably, this is done by either using triggers to set the techs to be repeatable 256 times, or via a XS script that loops through the techs and sets the repeatable count of each tech to 256. In either case, Burgundy would have access to 256x wheelbarrows and double-bit axes from the start. Whether the other teammates get that bonus too is a matter of how the data mod is implemented, but in any case I don’t see anything amiss here.

Sorry, I realized it lately. Its completely a terrible mistake. I am done.

Please change this topic to modding or ask for help!

But he got lucky twice with same civs, who would get those in one year I played with him twice and he got the same civs twice.

There is a wrong move with this guy.
