It’s been just a couple of days since I heard of this bug of infinite free unit, and yet they appear in literally every match with Golden Horde included now. I’m quite surprised that the devs haven’t done anything or at least make a response. So, will the bug cheaters be banned after fixing yhe bug? I have already seen cheater say "it’s my fifth smurf account“, if nothing will be done, I’d say the devs should be seen as encouraging cheating.

In the past players who frequently abused exploits to gain an advantage in multiplayer were banned. I certainly hope they do the same for people abusing the Golden Horde exploit… I stopped playing team games because of it. It’s super toxic!

Yes, we urgently need a patch to fix the bug.

I had this happen to me as well, and to add insult to injury they were also map hacking with how they pinpointed every undiscovered sheep with perfect accuracy each time through the fog of war at the start off the game, and anyone who ever suspects someone doing this and how you can get solid proof of them cheating do this. Turn free cam mode off on a suspected player to see exactly where they are clicking and you’ll see for yourself that they give perfect orders to their scout like almost exactly right beside the sheep each and every time they move the mouse across each point on the screen, to where the sheep’s are located through the fog of war. That is how you can spot an obvious map hacker in any recorded game. A smarter map hacker would be more cautious though with his clicks but there are other ways you can spot that as well like French knights that have no scout avoiding a flanking maneuver despite their line of site being smaller than infantry. Whether it’s people using exploits like this or map hacks they need to be banned from the game, and permanently banned if they’re a repeated offender, I’d even go as far and say IP ban them cause they’ll just make a fresh new account and continue to cheat. Like I’ve heard of stories of people rebuying the game on a new account just to continue playing the game and cheat, I like to call these people no-lifers cause they truly have no-life and get a kick out of making other peoples lives miserable to boost their fragile little egos.
It’s more likely they’ll ban posts on Age that talk about hackers because of hate speech

its a bannable offence atm, devs already stated they will ban them
Instead of banning they should have immediatly released a hotfix because this is so game breaking.
If they don’t have a fix yet, what should they do instead?
Banning abusers seems appropriate. And it seems to be what they’re going to do:

Here’s the result: they only ban them for a few days.
It seems they don’t even permanently ban cheaters, according to what I saw in Vortix’s video.
