Posts from Cheating in the anniversary edition.

I don't know if it was worth starting a new thread for this.
But the outrage caused by such actions needs to be expressed.
Many users here play on UBI, and such things happen there.
A player with the nickname ILeGioNI is engaging in the following behavior.
First, he complains about the presence of skeletons and zombies in my army, then he mumbles something about how I'll soon see 9999 ghosts.
And here's the Dragon Pass, week 6, and he shows up with this. Just one turn before, I attacked him with a sneak attack of about a hundred ghosts, 30 vampires, and about 20 messengers.
What kind of program is this???
People, help me – what is this cheat, and how can I protect myself from it?

To the shame of the cheater, I'll say that he completely lost this battle, using the method of fireball, armor burning, and targeted attacks. First, the vampires died, then the ghosts, and finally the banshees.
He swore a lot during the process.
I suggest that in this thread, we expose the nicknames of those who avoid fair combat.

I thought that in online games, cheats are blocked, especially on Ubisoft's platform. And, if you didn't load from a save file, I can't imagine how you could theoretically use a cheat or additional programs that add an army, for example. In general, if it's not yet clear how cheaters are tracked on Ubisoft's platform, you can simply write the nicknames of suspicious players in this thread, because most of them don't even use cheats as much as they just behave unworthily, to the point of causing the game to "freeze" in a losing match to avoid losing their rating, or simply behaving rudely. Rating is one thing, but when you encounter such an idiot, they usually reveal themselves during the game, and I, for example, don't always even finish such games.

I thought that cheats are blocked online, especially on the anniversary edition!

Not necessarily.

and basically, if you didn't load from a save, I can't imagine how you could theoretically use a cheat or additional programs that add an army, for example...

I specifically loaded not from the final save. True, it crashed one turn before the battle and loaded itself.

In general, since it's not yet entirely clear how cheaters are tracked on the anniversary edition, you can simply write the nicknames of suspicious people in this thread, because most of them don't even use cheats so much as they just behave unworthily, to the point that in a losing game, in order not to lose their rating, they cause the game to "freeze," or they simply behave rudely.

That's what I was suggesting when I wrote:

It turns out you can cheat in Heroes of Might and Magic. How do they do it? It's unclear, but a battle against 2000 Fury units turned out to be hopeless. Moreover, the player wasn't using a custom hero, but the standard hero, Erinn. If anyone is interested, take a look; I saved this battle: http://ifolder.ru/12491469

Could it have been the owner of the Ubisoft server?

Maybe he honestly earned those Fury units?

I don't know how he did it, but I tried it too: I created 99,999 Druids using Arthemania in the campaign.

If you feel like battling 1000 archmages controlled by Jaliba in a duel mode, **Steklovata** is at your service (he only managed 60+60+60 against me, but this is just the beginning).

Yeah, I played against him too. He had a Deidre with 8,000 skeletons and an Erin with an army of 800 harpies.

In Heroes of Might and Magic, cheats can be tracked in real-time.
That is, you can't just "create" an army out of thin air.
Since the game server controls all values.
If it's possible to change data on the server, then cheating is possible.

However, if the game is loaded from a save file, it's possible to change the army values in it, and there's no way to protect against that.

The only possible solution is to save the game every day and check the saves after each tournament.

It's tedious work, but it's the only way to ensure your safety and fairness in tournaments, and in games in general.

Yeah, it’s not fair to play like that.

Give ILeGioNI a black mark!

even if he played lying on his back, he wouldn't have accumulated that much... he's a cheater, plain and simple.

In general, I thought a solution had been found here...
but, I have to disappoint you.
Ubisoft doesn't monitor or block anything.
I once played with a guy, I don't remember his nickname, and in real-time (without any save/load manipulations), he created 5,000 infantry units. And all of this in a game on Ubi.com! Outrageous!!!
So, he had a unit, but he somehow changed its quantity...
Are there any options? Any kind of anti-cheat system?
Has anyone tried to contact the developers?
Any messages on a foreign forum?
After all, we have a licensed copy...

Why didn't you specify that the battle was held in duel mode? Perhaps there's a mode where you can create your own army; I've seen that in several games. And cheating on Uplay is impossible; it causes connection issues.
