Guy ended up owning everyone and I was wondering why. It was because I assume he is cheating due to the pic below. On replay 1v1me glorious red army Jonuz pancakes01 xencex roninsword
It's not 'cheating' technically - there's an option in the lobby to set player eco multipliers as a handicap. It's cheeky to try and sneak it in without people realising though, and you can take solace that his was a shallow victory.
The guy who creates a lobby can increase his economy multiplier. It's a really deuchy move. Add him to your blocked list and pay attention to the economy modifiers in the lobby.
I'm guessing the planet was called rust and that he allied with red army. This guy changes his name (I think) with in game display name change and trolls like this. Don't let the massive amounts of metal fool you. He got to about 11000 metal late game, and I have a hard time believing that much even exists on the planet. They both have no real skill, so try to make them play a legit game with you, I bet it would fun to smash their commanders head's deep into that moon... Oh and Brian, he has some ui mod so you can't see the Eco modifiers being used, it's a real scumbag move; I hate his guts.
I've actually played 1v1me and he did exactly the same thing to me. You can tell by the multiplier he's just changing his econ to x5 before starting, there's nothing else to it.
I have no idea, honestly, but I played three games with him, two out of those three games I watched his eco modifier, but it never went up. In-game, after I was decimated, I went back to the beginning of the replay and sure enough. He had 150 metal income at the start. Either that, or my internet is crap-o, and I can't see the changes happen.
Maybe someone could make a lobby mod that looks at the eco multipliers, if they are not the same, have a "are you sure?" popup that comes up when you click ready.
This should not be a mod, Uber should implement this, for every player, since this type of guy can ruin the game for every user not just people who know how to install mods. Or just make the indicator go red or something to show you there is something wrong.
Any eco multiplier change should be recorded as a lobby change (new player, player switched team, etc) therefore unready-ing everyone, and be recorded in the chat.
