Crazy leader-board scores/replay functionality

[AlliN]

So, this is a two-fold take. First off, looking at our leaderboars for Skirmish it is hard not to be suspicious, scores there seem fairly insane given the modifiers, and as much as they could in theory be possible on endless number of tries... having a 40+ score two times in a row, in very limited number of attempts...? Yeah, sus. (and before we get serious year I can imagine that Skirmish is not srs bzns - but if there is a way to exploit, it needs to be known for tournaments to make sense)

That said, it would be great to have a spectate/replay option (in example game generates a code you can use to re-watch a game). This would let not only prevent sussness, but also would be a great tool in the future to share, reviews and post games way easier than in a long video.

I was curious about this as well. The scores did seem a tad suspect BUT weren't crazy out of range of what *may* be possible. I don't care enough to sit down and do the math or work it out. A viewable reply is probably totally possible considering the nature of the game.

Crazy high scores might also be because of bugs leading to loopholes that haven't been yet fixed. This past skirmish I noticed that not only green spaces were allowing you to deploy troops in combat, but also some faction spaces which normally wouldn't.

Yeah that is what I think I've noticed as well, deploy was possible on non-green fields if you used a card that has a green agent icon on it I think - so something odd was going on there.

For example you "Dispatch Envoy" a green card to Conspire - but even then that shouldn't lead to 40+ score games in a row... and even if it might, there is a massive spike of the score at the op strata of the leaderboard, rather than it flattening out, which is odd from statistical reasons.
