I have a question about game ethics. I have discovered that once I finish my turn in a PBEM game and save , I can still move my units and make attacks, and even achieve several combat rounds extra. I have not used this feature against my opponents. But in the replay from one of my opponents I suddenly discovered that his turn ended three times, before the playback ended.
What is the accepted behaviour?:( :confused:

You need to have a talk with your opponent. This is one of the universally agreed upon taboos. You do NOT play on after the end of the turn. Further, you might want to keep a very close eye on the playback for other "irregularities"...

If your opponent is a newbie, then there is some excuse for this behavior. If he's experienced there is none, as he should have at least discussed his intent, or desire, to play this way beforehand.

Yes, this little loophole should be closed if future patches come along. The reason it says end of turn is...uh....because the turn is over. You have to manually go past the part where it asks you to save your turn so you can send it to your opponent.

Basically by doing this you never fail a proficiency check...a HUGE advantage over an opponent. It takes away a major component of this game system by doing that.

:hurt: Bad bad bad! :hurt:

Purists would never use this tactic...but there are back hallway rumors and whispers on the wind about pairs of opponents who both agree to play on after the turn is ended. Clearly this is a sign of the impending Apocalypse.
