    5x economy trolls could easily be contained by displaying any modifier openly in the game for all opponents to realize they are playing against a troll.

    Then players would realize they are not crap just playing against a person who needs to humiliate to feel good.

    You can, look to the right of every player's name, it should be there. :p

    It already is shown: [​IMG]

    If that number's anything other than one, your opponent's pulling something on you.

    Yes, it is shown, but it is easy to overlook.

    Maybe there should be a light up color indicator?

    If one player's economy is greater than the others, then that economy modifier could be bright red or something.

    He's still pulling something on you, it's just that the result is different.

    I thought there was a bug where the host sometimes is the only one that can see the modifier if no one else is in lobby...

    I second this, AND I believe it could be a player UI clientside mod.

    It would be amazing for 1.0 to be grey, 1.1+ to be increasing shades of green, 0.9- to be increasing shades of red.

    What kinda is weird is that the metal extractors and energy buildings don't show the economic multiplier value. I wish it did.

    True it is sometime hard to notice they changed the ratio. I once met someone change it to 2 and I didn't realized it until I looked the records on Pa stats the next day.:oops::p
