Everything you need to know about cheaters.

I am a suspicious pessimist by nature. As a gamer, I have encountered and called out everything. Aimbots, maphacks, triggerbots, wallhacks, speedhacks, no recoil hacks, hacks that crash servers, hack...

    It is very much related to what the person above posted.

    Many people have an insufficient understanding of the game mechanics. They do not understand that in the time in which they build two harvesters, their opponent can build two attacking units to destroy their harvesters (if he does not build harvesters himself). Then they call this cheating, when in fact no cheating is taking place at all.

    And no, you cannot cheat on the cooldown timer. There is zero proof that this has ever been done by anybody. If you claim that this is possible, then record a replay of such a battle and show it to us.

    Claim of cheating without any proof (e.g. screenshot or recorded video) = Nonsense.

Cool story about the in game decision to purchase harvesters or not.

This is the most obvious statement anyone could make. Yes, you can choose to get harvesters. You can choose not to get harvesters. You can choose to get two harvesters. You can choose to attack the other player's harvesters. You can choose to defend your harvesters. You can put harvesters on a pad to control it for a missile launch. You can intentionally send a harvester to die to speed up you cooldown time at late game...

Are we on the same page? It feels vastly off topic from the guy's post about possible methods of cheating.

    Well, if you have 2 harvesters and 6 units wandering around. Yes, your cool down will be much much slower than for your enemy, who has maybe 1 harvester and 2 other units out. This is why it is a viable strategy to pop cap your enemy (aka. spare an infantry unit with very few HP so it cannot do any damage but slows cool down).

    I agree with the previous comment: understand the game mechanics before you accuse anyone with cheating.

    I have found many users with extremely high level units - like the stealth Tank , Basilisk, cannon ect but playing with very low level upgrade with me.


    The have units from level 56, 54, 39 and they're getting matched with me at level 15... This can't be possible without unit hacking... Below is the video link you're asking as proof...

      @Alpha11Centuary 
      While this might feel off to you, it is actually how this game is designed. Two things:

      1.) If your opponent has a (field) unit in their deck that you don't have access to yet, this will trigger a Challenge Battle because of an unknown unit. That means you won't lose medals from this fight. A challenge battle is basically the game's way of saying: "Well, we should not really have matched you with that guy cause they have higher units or rank, but they were available just now and instead of making you wait longer for a better match, we will just let you play against this guy and call it a challenge to make up for it".

      2.) If you simply keep playing, you will reach playel level 60 rather quite soon. Now, getting your commanders and units levelled up is an entirely different story. That takes way, way, WAY longer to do.
