Played P2N island today and I was really surprised by the speed of this guy, specially because a game earlier he was ahead of me with one of his mines being TC only.

So here is the save file:

QuickSave 2017.10.11 - 23h.44m.25s.ees

Compare Zero's gold and mine (these are prints from the first save):

We're both in bronze age.
We start with 100 gold.

My gold: 100 from start + 3628 gathered. I payed for copper which costs 844 in gold and bronze which costs 1320
100+3628-844-1320=1564
This means I should have 1564 gold available to me. This is the gold you see in the first printscreen on Human player.

Zero's gold: 100 from start + 3252 gathered. Copper costs 844 gold and bronze 1320.
100+3252-844-1320=1188
This means Zero (Player 5) should have 1188 gold available to him. However he has 2521.
2521-1188=1333.

Conclution: By my calculations Zero must have glitched 1333 gold. Someone should double check to see if I've made a mistake but it seems fairly obvious.
Oh and I didn't bother checking the other resources, since finding proof of glitch in 1 resource is proof enough.

So what happend to him?

as i Know , Cheaters get Permanent Ban ,

Looking at other players resources and comparing the epochs of said players, it also looks like he haven't received any tributes. Looks like cheating to me.

Just an update on this issue:

the user wasn't online with any of his accounts since 17th of October, and I wouldn't expect him to return very soon, if at all. He is on my "notify" list whenever I see him again, as he specified no valid email. But I guess a ban is not necessary as this player is inactive anyways. Thanks nontheless for the detailed report, it might be a good example for other players on how such a report should look like.

Thanks for this post, I was playing a 99% sure cheater/glitcher recently, and I have been breaking my head how to see how much resources he had left. Never got the idea to use the Scenario builder...
Time to check on the dude

It's hard to believe if the guy you talking about is an actual cheater or not, cause since you dont have any screenshots , we can easily tell that you edited the Stats with Scen Editor.

That's not exactly how this works...

And if it does work exactly like you described. How is making printscreens worth anything? They could also be edited? Or taken after the stats are edited with scen editor?
