Virtue defferal Exploit.

DONT ENABLE VIRTUE DEFERRAL


http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=352997191

this guy was my friend and though good player, only to found earlier today that he uses the exploit of virtue defferal which gives him unlimited culture and can be used whenever needed.


i am not sure how he is doing this though.

he got like 30 virtues, this how i found it.

i saw his score spiking too much and found the score details which says 200 from virtues, i had 60 score from 12 virtues which means there is clearly something wrong, so i reloaded the game and swapped his slot to find out this exploit.

Calling out other players publicly isn't appreciated. Thanks for raising a concern about the exploit itself, however.

If firaxis wasn't in such a rush to throw this garabage of a game out the door into our faces. They would had realize how easy it is for people to cheat.

There wasn't a huge exploit like that in CIv 5.
(by the way who was this guy? If this is true, I would like to avoid playing with him, send me a privet message or something)

No, in Civ5 there was an exploit where, if someone offered you a trade, you could steal all their stuff...

Wasn't there a bug if you don't enable Virtue defferal that could cause this too?

Sometime this bug would fire the turn after you chosed a new virtue. Next turn it would ask you again to developt a virtue, but you were unable and so to end your turn. If you leave and rejoin the game the AI would have purchased every possible virtue for you. Like a buffer overflow happend.

Are you sure that Allow Virtue Deferral is exploitable or are you making that association based on the game settings from the hacked game?

Yeah at least that was avoidable and easy to detect if someone abuse it.
(people always ask for a trade rather than making it themselves, people can ask the host to kick a player for abusing trade bug)

But this is different. Anyone can do this and no one would have any idea the guy is even doing it. Unless they are stalking the score board every second, and load up a save game like this guy did and switch slots.

Plus that trade bug wasn't always around..It came in civ like a year ago, and took what felt like a life time to get it patch...and sadly that patch ruin the multi player...I rather have trade bug back than this multi player that crashes every 5 minutes.

there is problem with virtue and culture accumulation, that guy used that problem and exploited it, i dont have exact steps on what he did. but virtue deferal makes u defer ur culture later so he can exploit this further and use them when needed, else he wouldnt be able to end turn without developing virtues for the entire culture accumulated by exploit which would spike his score at turn 1 and get caught easily.

As Sam said earlier, no calling out other people publicly.
