    Potentially, but the host is the only one who can change the way the sim behaves while it's running - cheating. The other clients can give and receive information to the server, but can't modify the way it runs.

    Well either way that is only if someone is actually hosting a dedicated server, any tournament, or even just playing the server is hosted by Uber.

    Yeah, if it's Uber's server then it's impossible.

    99.99% of all online mp games are played on servers hosted by Uber.

    I don't see how unit naming is even an issue, ant>bolo aside.

    That's going to change someday, you know that right? In any case, it's still a possibility that a match is hosted on someone's private server and thus it's still a possibility that the host cheats in some fashion.

    bolo
    not ant
    we should replace the dox with a 6 legged antbot that can scale high slopes like spiderbots could in TA.

    Yes that'll probably change when Uber stops hosting the servers for PA, other than that I don't see why people would host games. (Unless multi-threading is implemented and they want to play a huge match)

    Learn to be humble. Ask yourself why hero driven gameplay emphasises personified characters, because all i see is this

    For someone who takes pseudo-intellectual 'game commentary' quite seriously, you're shockingly terrible at it.

    Oh oops, sorry if my opinion is totally disrespectful and carries an unjustified ammount of superiority complex, but hey take it or leave it right?

    Am I the only one that kinda agrees with the OP?
    I think there is a unit in statera named "BACON" or something like this. This has turned me off so much that I instantly got a bad impression from the mod.
    Immersion breaker all the way.

    Everyone agrees with me. All the rest is pettiness.

    First sentence I see reading your blog.

    I used to talk like that when i was 14 and thought big words with 10 logical provisions and subprovisions in one sentence made me look smart. Then i grew up.

    Nobody can have a real discussion with you while you're sitting upon your high horse.

    Hahaha... We're the ones being petty? You're complaining about a little name that you can easily change through any text editor.

    I think there are certain situations when names are silly (that one being an example), but most mods that I've played don't have this issue.

    This thread is great. I will consider making a commnder that craps out explosive piles of IcyCalm in the next patch.

    Yes, you grew up and became an obsessive metagaming cheater who hasn't bothered to read any real literature. Congrats! You should be proud of yourself, I am in awe of you.

    I hope this thread stays this toxic, it's really entertaining.
