I can clearly say that my tips "abuse" game mechanics. It's not like that there is any rule against "cheating" in a single player game without any official competition. I don't think my tips were "cheats," but I don't really care if anyone believes and/or argues differently. IMHO, I can't really define what is exploit. And I don't see either of that is the case here. We are free to have our own definition of it, unless it was done with malintention or there is not a single person agreeing with the definition. It isn't a scientific or legal definition. What a word means can be defined, redefined, and changed by people using it. It seems like the main disagreement is what is "exploit" and what is not, rather than if my tips are exploits. I had no idea that this has developed to a hot debate. Or vassals/player should lose their holdings if they stay above limit for too long, just like apparently there is chance to lose vassals if you stay above vassal limit for too long, although I never had this happen to me so I don't know if it's actually true. In my opinion there should be hardcap for both demesne and vassal limit for player and AI, but only if you go too much above. Though none of this should be possible in actual ironman game with enabled achievements. This guide is just telling us how to exploit the game and as I said before, it's fine if someone wants to play like this, but don't argue this is not actually "exploit" because it just makes you look biased.Īlso yeah, if someone feels need to cheat or just generally have an easier game for whatever reason, there is ingame setting to disable demesne/vassal limit. If you commit tyranny and, because of the ways you abused imperfect game mechanics, you don't feel any negative results of that, that is clearly cheating/exploiting. If you play like you are supposed to and commit tyrannic actions, you definitely gonna feel consequences of that. Being able to hold 100+ holdings without much negative would be like (for an example you'll understand, coming from EU IV) being able to dev a single province to 100 dev by 1500 while still keeping up with tech and expanding as normal. I would say that some of the exploits shown (and yes, they are exploits) are the latter. Swipe sniping in Halo 2 merely made instant kills much easier, it didn't improve gameplay and actively hurt enjoyment for many players. Rocket jumping brings an added dynamic element to the game. However to say that they are equal to one another is absurd. Both rocket jumping in Quake and swipe sniping for automatic headshots in Halo 2 are exploits. It is a word with positive and negative connotations depending on context. Oxford dictionary definiton: Make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)Īlso, Oxford dictionary definition: Make use of (a situation) in a way considered unfair or underhanded. It's the opposite extreme of everything is an exploit. If you do not do so and you're going to use the word "exploit" for "not okay exploit" then I would agree that it should apply only to exploiting bugs.īy this logic nothing is an exploit and everything is ok. My view of the definition of exploit only really makes sense if you separate the questions of whether something is an exploit and whether it is okay to do and treat them as two separate questions. And I suspect much of the talk about what is or isn't an exploit in this thread was really talk about what is or isn't acceptable behavior. I suppose when most people talk about exploits they mean something that is not okay. IMO the real question is whether something is okay to do or not. I freely admit that defining it in such a way has little practical application, but practical application was never my goal. And if the designer post-defines something as an exploit that won't change whether it is an exploit, but it may change whether it is perceived as such.īut that's just how I'd use the word exploit. Something being perceived as an exploit on the other hand is indeed highly subjective. Either the designer intended a system to be used in this way or not. Something being a system exploit is objective. This is getting a little esoteric, but I differentiate between something being an exploit and something being perceived as an exploit.
