I'm so glad to hear that! Those are really, really GOOD NEWS! Rome is such an ingenious project on an utterly awesome game!
The only downside is the lack of an effective anti-cheat system (despite some server admins best efforts on the issue).
The aforementioned measures are badly needed! Wave after wave, cheaters are slowly ruining the game. They don't enjoy the game the way it's meant to be played. Moreover, they deny other players an enjoyable experience.
I hope that those measures may be implemented in a timely fashion (regardless of the focus on the Venice project), otherwise - I think - it will be too late. If nothing is done, more and more clean players will stay away from Nexus servers and cheaters ratio will obviously increase over time. I foresee many empty servers and a few populated servers filled with cheaters. An ultimate "cheaters paradise feast".
This project doesn't deserve that fate - not - NoFaTe
. Don't let them win!
