Unfortunately there's no way to identify if someone is using the 'attack commander' or 'fire at commander'. Perhaps a future patch will change the orders of any commander after it's been stolen.

If they fly directly at the commander, or shoot at it, instead of at pd, its a pretty good indication, unless there is a special thing about the commander (only flier, very big). At that point, its worth investigating.

I suppose you consider it an exploit only when you copy-paste the "attack commander" order into some other unit that is not intended to do that.
If you managed to charm a Dark Night you sure earned the right to use him as he was intended. Or you think it's an exploit to use a charmed DK to attack commanders?

Using him as intended sounds reasonable. It's the copy-paste that is clearly naughty.

Are they any other cheating / bug abuse rules on your server, llama? Maybe a list somewhere? I'm not a fan of bug abuse anyway, but a list would be nice.

It is an exploit to copy the attack commander command to other units. it is cheating the same as if you hack someone's turn and did something to it. Major bug, major exploit.

I would not feel like I really won a game where i cheated to win. just me. While I am only hosting the epic heroes game, if i saw a player's units attacking my commanders they would be set to AI.

You know it when you see it.

The American people already know that Meglobob is a bad boy - a naughty boy. I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Meglobob is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.

... err sorry. Ignore the foot-tapping senator.

Heh! I have never used the attack commander/fire commander orders in MP. Only in SP. I know 2 people who have thou, 1 against me.

In future I will avoid telling anymore/sharing insights into the game. People always shoot the messenger.
