Maintaining a competitive, fair, and secure environment is our highest priority. This document outlines our countermeasures, improvements, and milestones to eliminate malicious activity.
Pillar 1: Server Security & Vulnerability
This pillar focuses on structural backend modifications to make targeted gameplay exploits significantly more challenging to deploy
Pillar 2: Operational Enforcement
This pillar focuses on streamlining our internal tools to process reports faster, track repeat offenders, and improve our backend data to identify and confirm suspicious activity.
Pillar 3: Chat Moderation & Community Safeguards
This pillar targets text exploits and chat manipulation to maintain a healthy social environment.
Current Tracking & Updates
Strategic Pillar | Focus | Status | Impact / Objective |
Security | World Map Repair | 🔵 IN DEV | Potential Solutions Include: 💡Don’t forget to use the Hex Takeover feature to displace platoons you defeat!
|
Security | Mercenary Bulk Building | 🟢 DEPLOYED | We changed the build time to prevent some older mercs from being able to be built nearly instantly, creating the ability to mass build and deploy. |
Security | Constructs Placed at Same Time | 🔵 IN DEV | While this is something that can be done in the game when using gold, we are working to confirm if it is being done with a script and no gold cost. |
Security | Air Deployment Script | 🔵 IN DEV | We are aware of the air spreading script and are investigating options to best address this. Any of these may be added as a future feature to the game.
|
Enforcement | Data-Driven Report Triage | 🟢 DEPLOYED | Implemented backend changes to better sort and prioritize reported players for human review. |
Enforcement | Cross-Account Tracking ("Alts") | 🟢 DEPLOYED | Deploying adjustments to tie alternative accounts directly back to a main profile. |
Community Health | Account Action Messaging | 🟢 DEPLOYED | Creating a format for communicating Fair Play actions taken each month, along with the Fair Play Roadmap to communicate status of known exploits. |
Community Health | Centralized Resources | 🟢 DEPLOYED | Added automatic messaging to Discord sharing the important links for support and reporting issues. |
Community Health | Updating Common Questions | 🟢 DEPLOYED | The FAQ channel in Discord has been updated with common questions and misconceptions that we see in appeals and reports. |
Status Key
🟢 DEPLOYED: Active in the live game environment. Monitoring for secondary edge cases.
🟡 TESTING: Code is fully built; currently undergoing active stability and bug testing.
🔵 IN DEV: Engineering is actively rewriting systems or building countermeasures for this specific vulnerability.
