Cheating in TOAW III: Policy Announcement

[Heinrici]

Well that reloading message was a bit frustrating. When i played first TOAW 3, I believe that i replayed a turn a half dozen times. :-)

I played that game at my work and because of nature of my job, I'm briefing pilots, I'm forced to save turn sometimes if pilots are entering every few minutes. Damn game would crash then (well i though that at time). I thought that it was error in software so i usually played turn again and again and again... Then when i finished my turn the game would crash again. Again i was convinced that is was software error, a kind of ˝blue screen˝, so again i replayed turn. I cursed authors of toaw 3 because of that ˝instability˝ of game and it continous crashing, because sometimes i had similar problems of instability with Toaw:CoW on win XP.

Then i realized that it was anticheat feature. Game is very, very stable, but that ant cheat feature can be frustrating, well in the beggining, but when a person get used to it it is ok and useful. You can see if your oponets is reloading game over and over again in order to achieve result he wanted.

That forced me to play longer scenario at home where i had all the time in the world, well when my girlfriend is on the work and i'm alone, and only shorter at work. :-)
