Cheaters

I have reported all the cheaters that I know for sure in the game because some of them are very obvious. However, this issue has yet to be resolved. I would like to be able to get back into the game after being wiped so that I can see the end of the game and figure out who's cheating for real. This game is not fun at all if people cheat and I am considering to find something else more entertaining and healthy to play.

It be great if they just had an automated check of the leaderboard to keep it from getting cluttered with cheaters.

The only way to deal with it and eliminate cheaters is to know how many times each player has played with each other during the game selection. It's an easy update and SMG should consider that seriously.

Good morning,


I will hand that over to our support team to look into the the stats.

As said, one of the next updates will also bring a direct report button within the game and even more automated scanning systems running in the background. This is definetly the year we hit the cheaters, and we hit them hard.

We have quite exciting plans for tournaments and competitions in the long run, but it doesn't make sense before we get rid of the majority of cheaters.

Heres 2 more for you. Okey Rock 5 and Billy Bravo 5. Was obvious that these 2 names are connected somehow. From the onset they avoided each other, put 1 army on adjacent territories and targeted my troops even when there was no reason for it. I will take a loss as ive taken many but these 2 names are what ruins games. If you have to cheat to attain grand master or master as these 2 names have done, its sad. Cheat to succeed is truly the lowest achievement you can get.

I always host games and my ranking is between Expert and Grandmaster depending on my current streak.  I track the people who cheat and kick them out pregame.  Feel free to join my games anytime for a fair game.  I honor alliances completely, unless I am trying to eliminate the ally from the game.

I want to denounce two of the biggest cheats with which I played Francisco Durum 13 and Ignatz Eldritch 13, their collaboration was so obvious throughout the game that I can not believe they have not been taken out of the game even though joke has to both are "Grand Maester" if it is a total lie these types of players should not continue in the game! Sincerely

I have noticed that a player has two acounts. He is protecting himself until he has enough cards. Then he destroys his player 2 to get the cards. His two names are: - Porter-songs - Blue risque 2

More cheaters: Peter Justice 2 and Smith Schulz 2. Avoid these 2 "grandmasters" at all costs.

Obvious cheating occurring between Jordan Mac 3 and either 1 or both of these screen names- Vaughn Mcpunch 4, Vance the Poet 3.

Exactly FU, that's what I just said.  Give players an ignore/block feature so you can just block these cheaters.


It's absolutely ridiculous how much cheating there is in this game. 


Almost every game I've played with an expert or higher has had them using multiple accounts.  I just had a master use his lackey account to block me from Australia so he could take it.  When it's that obvious it's infuriating that you can't do anything about it.

I've had much better luck avoiding cheaters by starting my own games and eliminating novices.  I've been able to get 6 player games going this way and have not noticed much, if any, blatant cheating going on.

Just for clarification:

- We look into each reported case (support ticket), and if there is a smoking gun, it has consequences for the cheaters - with a ban being the max. penalty.

- As for hackers, this can't be really avoided, as any Android App can be reverse-engineered to a certain degree. We are trying to push app aupdates more frequently in order to make the hacker's life harder.

- We are also working on a system making it for cheaters harder to get into games with honest players.THis is planned for the first quarter of 2018.

Best,

- Johann@SMG

CHEATERS: "GrandMaster" Jules the Petite 7 and its "Expert" sockpuppet Ferd Esquire 8.

Master here. Hard earned. Faced some cheating before. Never cared much. Never ever cheated, myself, because what fun is that? Suspected cheaters before who had "plowed" into me or "hounded" me for no particular reason or rationale.

I always host.

A couple of hours ago: Intermediate joined second. Then, poof, a "GrandMaster" and an "Expert" joined together. I sensed something was off but first time seeing a GM. I delved in. I was suspicious from the start. Started taking screenshots. EFFING BASTARDS!!!!
