Yeah. This little option called 'Lock Teams'

In a custom scenario, set a trigger that changes the civ to your ally, even when he's already your ally, and he won't change.

This spam is even worse than my +1 spam.

No it isn't. This isn't spam.

But in a custom campaign, you can't lock diplomacy. Can you still guess it?

OMG... It's what Ax Man said in post 1.

There is another way. Put a cross bowman and a unit of a different player. If the cross bowman ever has the other unit as a target, change the diplomacy so the two players are allied.

Erhem! *puts on glasses and acts like a smart dork*

Trigger 0
Looping: Yes
Objective: No
State: On
Effect 0: Change Diplomacy: Player 1 -> Player 2: Ally
Effect 1: Change Diplomacy: Player 2 -> Player 1: Ally

In this sample, Player 1 and Player 2 must remain friendly to each other.

That's the whole secret.

Good idea though.

rayoflightsword: I hope it is. We haven't approved it from DarckRedd yet so we can't be sure.

Darck, your crossbowman thing gave me a great idea on how to keep them from changing diplo. Put a hunting wolf in the corner of the map with a weak unit for every player around it. Then just make trigger so that if any of those units die, you lose! (Muahahahaha)

That is severe, but it would certainly keep that player from cheating again! But I agree, they other method is better than the one I posted.

I never bother with stopping the player from changing diplomacy -- it will bugger up the game anyway, so it's his head on the chopping block. But other types of cheating (marco/polo) I really dislike.

A while ago I posted an unpopular thread where you use the PMANG beta unit to crash the game if cheats are detected. It didn't go down too well. Even AnastasiaKafka blackmailed me, saying that she wouldn't play my campaign if I put that feature in. Bleh. Some people...

Crashes can damage the computer, and it is very annoying. It wasn't a bad idea, but you could've just made them lose, instead of crash their computer

SnakeEyes: Did you mean "can damage your computer" or "does damage your computer"?

EDIT:

Quoted from DarckRedd:

Which other method? Which post?

can damage your computer. Crashing applications is annoying at the very least!

Wait a tick, if you want many change diplomacy triggers, you would have to create legions of triggers for each change, so if you use the hunting wolf idea, you can put in the most 7 triggers and forget about it.

*laughs*

By any means necessary Lord_Fadawah.

Thank you Lord SnakeEyes:

Crashing the game can also cause errors in the game files.

The 'can' or potential for damage in both my game files and my computer is enough for me. Especially when the feature is unecessary.

Nope, it's just dumb.

Exactly. Ray's spam was just... spam. I'm not saying that this is an extremely useful topic.

I now understand that crashing can harm the game files. But does reinstalling the game fix it?

Looping change diplomacy trigger. This has been known for years, dumbass.

Did you even read the thread, Kesteral? I all ready relvealed my methods.

Of course it does! You can not brake the CD with a crash.

Looping the change diplomacy effect has always worked best, although your method is also fine (unsure, but it might reduce lag too).

Edit: And it is "Guard!"

LOL!

But I can see the Kestrel curses and flames a lot..

Hehe, this will make it easier *types marco polo*

Darn the ... computer has crashed *kicks computer, stamps feet, stands on aoc disk*

Whoops, ..... that ............. scenario!

Do not post in this thread anymore.

It has served its meager purpose. Let this thread sink already.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Frankly, cheats have never been more rampant. When a friend of mine plays scenarios he used lumberjack, cheese steak jimmy's, marco/polo, the whole kit and caboodle. According to him, cheat codes are the way the game is played at his school. Something must be done to combat it.

Oh yes, but I didn't realise it could do permanant damage. My computer crashes on a regular basis. Just wait, Bill Gates, just wait...
