lobby sploits?

from Demigod Forums

Hey all,

am wondering if there is any way the host can prevent the game settings from displaying correctly in the lobby?

Just finished a 'game' against 3 nubs who had it set to dominate on a 3k limit and just literally bought locks non stop from level 1. Their builds were piles of shite (as were their playstyles) but they won because of cheap, stupid and dirty settings. This would be fair enough if the game options had displayed correctly, but it all said normal except ai hitpoints, xp and gold were on low - this I am 100% certain of, I have been playing this long enough to know to check game settings and as such I do every time.

Anyone else come across something similar?

This is a common bug in the lobby. It happens sometimes, some players dont see the actual settings of the game, until the host refreshes them (change, and change them back).

As far as i know, it cannot be done on purpose as a way to exploit.

same in my experience.  I haven't come across this as an exploit.

pretty crazy that nobody on your team could interrupt a 2 sec cast and dominate their crappy builds and playstyles to then cap the flag and lock it for your team.
