So yea, I just played a game of Civ Wars, a map on Warcraft III
and someone was abusing an exploit of the game
Personally, I consider that cheating
To give you an idea of what kind of exploit I'm talking about, here's the one I'm talking about
In short, Civ Wars consists in 3 lanes where units are fighting
You build Warrior camp (and eventually up them to better camp)
and they spawn warrior to your lane and they fight ennemy's warriors
there are a couple of optional modes for the game, usually, none is used
one of these mode allows you to send your worker on lanes and build there (instead of being restricted to your base)
Well here's the exploit
If your workers are building something, AI units (spawned units in this case) will focus attack the worker.
That's not a bug in the map, it'S an exploit inside Warcraft III itself
well, the host allowed the mode without asking other players
and sent his worker on the lane, near where units were fighting
and then gave an order to his owrker to build something in his base
So, my units were following his worker, couldn't reach it since they have the same movement speed
butr still, they followed ther worker while his units were attacking mine
I can't do shit about it
What do you think? Is it cheating? is it part of the game?
If he does it, should I do it myself?
Personally, I consider that cheating
Plus, it's usually impossible to do that without that optional mode
and he activated it without asking other players
Well, your though?
