Does anyone else see a rise in gamey tactics?
I for 1 do and some players are far worse than others,
it's just I really like the historical aspect of this system . it is just sad that some players do not care about anything of the sort

Once i find such a player they go on my never again list

Another RED FLAG for me is someone with off the charts battle result in their record
I mean for me a win % of 60 or higher raises an eyebrow and lots of Major victories also is an indicator
After the game i am in now i will concult the records and this is info i will use to decide to play

These Time thieves that steal games thru cheating and taking up your gaming time should be expelled from the club once exposed

I hope you're not including me in that. I have a battle win rate of 69.39%. [It used to be higher, 71.98%, and a lot higher in my earlier days. Recently I have been playing against a talented Union Member, so my win rate is dropping.] And yep, the vast majority have been Major Victories:
Maj Vic - 57;
Min Vic - 6;
Draw - 10;
Min Def 6;
Maj Def - 19.
Some people are simply better at the games than others. The 'win' rate is not necessarily an indicator. There are things that indicate cheating and some, that in my view, prove it. But winning games is not among them. My recent Union opponent has won most of our games but I have seen nothing to indicate that he is cheating. I will continue to play him (despite my losses) when he returns from real life commitments, as I find him a challenging opponent and we on and off discuss other things.

I do not deny that there are cheats and regrettably I have had experience with several. Once identified they are on my blacklist, five still remain on that list.
