That's exactly what I'm talking about. The rules should be clear and not contain phrases like: "It is forbidden to use bugs," when, as we can see, many people don't know not only about specific bugs but also what a bug even is. :)
For example, I don't know what version of the game I have (pirated or not) - it's not written anywhere, but it can't be patched. And here's an example: the Ballista bug:
I'm fighting against slow units (they're all in one group), I have one fast unit and a ballista - there are no ammunition carts. The fast unit moves this group of monsters around the battlefield so that the monsters can't catch it, but they also don't attack the ballista. The ballista shoots at the monsters. The ballista has 24 shots. But what I see is that when the bullets run out, the ballista still shoots, and the remaining number of shots continues to be counted, only it goes into negative values (-1, -2, -3, etc.) and continues to deal damage to the enemy. The battle can theoretically be won, and with enough persistence and patience, it can be won in practice. Did many people know about this? Why shouldn't I use this in the game - it's clearly not forbidden. Let's say I'm so honest :) that I won't use it, but where is my guarantee that another player won't accidentally use it? Well, he doesn't look at the remaining number of shots - he just runs around and that's it. This isn't in the list of forbidden bugs, and the player isn't to blame for not being observant. And what am I to blame for, why should I be in unequal conditions with this player? If the bug were clearly forbidden, then we would all be in equal conditions. So, the question is - should I continue to shoot the ballista without ammunition or not? :D The rules don't say anything about this. And I don't know if it's a bug or not - maybe it's just a clever magical ballista. :)
PS: And what exactly is the violation on the part of the player? He has the right to attack with a ballista and one unit against superior forces - he does. Then he simply doesn't want his unit to be killed and runs around. He can't stop the ballista - it shoots automatically. And so what? What is the violation? I also want to ask those who have a normal, patched version - is this bug (or not a bug) fixed there or not? If it's not difficult, please take a look.
I guess I'm just slow (or I was just too lazy to read everything carefully). Now I understand about the automated battle with the ballista. I just learned that the ballista is supposed to run out of ammunition, I always thought it had infinite ammunition, I never looked at the ballista's ammunition, it just keeps shooting. I don't know how it is in version 4.0, maybe it's been fixed, I always played on version 3.1, and there the ballista definitely has infinite ammunition. And how the number of shots changes over time, I don't know, I didn't look. Because I always thought it had infinite ammunition. :)
Today I'll check in 4.0, maybe the ballista's ammunition does run out.

And another question: Can I play on version 3.1 or is version 3.2 required? I just wanted to patch to 3.2, but the patch wouldn't install. Do I have version 4.0, can I play on it instead of 3.2? After all, the higher the version, the more bugs are fixed in the lower versions...
