How do I report someone for exploiting the game? I am currently up against this guy who uses and artillery/mechanized infantry strategy, I thought at first he was just SUPER active, but later realized that he was defiantly using a game exploit. (The exploit works like this, he marks a path he wants taken, he sends his "kill squad" out to complete the mission, then the squad does something very peculiar; the squad goes up to the border of the provenance it wants to take, stops, shoots at anything there until its dead, then moves in to take the provenance.) The basic mechanics of this exploit are simple, but it means he can plot his attacks overnight with no repercussion as I can't even get close to his troops without them making a deadly and painful barraging getaway (even with motorized infantry).

It is not an exploit, it is a mechanic that the game has with "High Command"

Your opponent is demonstrating the proper use of Fire Control.

This guy just joined the game Nov 3rd,
a. It's unlikely he knows how to work that properly
b. It's not only his artillery, but also everything else that does it too (goes up to the border, if it's clear it moves in.)

I've played against fire control before, this HAS to be cheating and quite frankly im sick and tired of trying to beat him as every time i beat him to death, he manages to come back in like 6 hours while im asleep...this is awful and I might quit the game over it!

This response is in 3 parts.
1. The artillery 'kill squads'
2. The time the account has existed
3. The respawn rate

1. It is a special option of High Command. It allows the unit to override all other orders if an enemy is within range. it explains everything said above.

2. You mentioned above that the account has only existed for 15 days. 15 days can mean a lot if you really like the game. He could also have had an account previously but he forgot the password or the account was mistakenly deleted.

3. If this player spends money on high command he definitely is willing to spend gold on healing units or speeding up production.

There really is no good way that I know of to deal with players like this :00002178:

This can be easily explained as well, with rally points. Rally points are another HC feature, which allow you to set points that you want units to move to after production.

All of these can be explained by High Command. There is no way to cheat like this.

Actually there is a way, but it would take a lot of effort, and i dont think this is the instance that it is taking place
