Finding cheats

[eternal242]

I have tried to search to find on my own a list of common cheats that are used on this sight. I want to know what I should be looking for when I think a player is cheating. I read some about dice cheats where you either have a better chance of assaulting or defending, but those posts were over 2 yrs old. I suspect a player in my game is cheating, he has 150 more troops in his stats than on the board. I have called him out on the game log but it would be nice to have something to reference before accusations come out.

I went back and found my error in world 2.1 with blue holding china(also blue) and not reading the troops correctly. But I still think a list would be helpful of what to watch out for.

There are no cheats, other than people with multiple accounts.

As far as i know there is no way to cheat on CC to manipulate the dice/get extra armies.

surely you could hack into the game and make it so you have more points

I'm sure advanced computer/website hackers could find a way - but the most common cheating methods are:

• Multiple Accounts
• Farming
• Secret Diplomacy

If you need a further explanation on any of these, please see the rules page.

Actually (and because I know someone will read into this the wrong way, I've done nothing other than some simple testing to help make CC as a whole better), the code itself is very secure. All the points calculations are done with numbers already on the server, so there isn't any way to manipulate the data. There also isn't a way to change the dice, or the troops on the map. It's more likely that someone would kidnap lack himself and get him to change their score than someone hacking in.

That's very reassuring, actually. I never bothered with the code myself - things to do.
Thank you very much for that little bit of knowledge.
