A lot of players do this trick :  Garrison rams in a building (fort most likely but possible to make it from workshop) Ungarrison them on approaching siege, then just after they land a hit, garrison them to safety. It's annoying because you have no way to react fast enough to kill the trickster ram. You can still : Surround your own rams with enough soldiers so that the opponent rams won't be able to unload too close to them. Surround your own rams with melee on stand-ground stance (need less then for 1 but also less safe for you own rams, you might be able to kill enemy rams though). Give up on ramming the fort and find an alternative (catapults, capture the fort, ignore the fort..). The odds that your opponent use anything else then the default garrison hotkey to do this are extremely low.

A turn in a 4v4 can be quite long, so there may have been more time than you expect for these inputs to be entered. however it is a bit fishy. Maybe screen record part of the replay to see what this looks like? Or maybe give the replay so we can watch it.

His average time per move for this part of the game was 1.43 seconds, which seems completely human, further pointing to his innocence. Average time per move for the entire game (except the end) for all players: Zekromus (1628)         0.98 sec King_Okocha (1498)    2.38 sec jimo (jimo)                    3.49 sec Decger (1623)             1.52 sec Atrik_III                         0.91 sec jbc (1532)                     0.93 sec acaradeperro (1274)    2.36 sec RangerK (1588)            1.92 sec These stats are so interesting.  I've never dug into a game file before.  It would be cool to show avg time per command in the stats at the end of a game.

Turn 6766 → 22:33.2   Garrisons 0.2 seconds after attack. Turn 6784 → 22:36.8   Garrisons 0 seconds after attack (at the same time). Turn 6799 → 22:39.8   Garrisons 0.6 seconds after attack.  

Player 8 was yours truly. Player 1 was Zekromus. 1) garrison of the unit happens the very TURN AFTER the attack.  Too fast for human reaction, right?  Because I think a turn is 0.2 seconds.  Can anyone confirm?  turn 6766 200 ... cmd 8 {"type":"attack","entities":[11066,11525,11526,11529,11740,11741,11742,11744,12119,12389,12973,13259,13261,13264,13265,13266,13269,13270,13271,13276,13437,13438,13439,13440,13495,13517,13518,13519,13625,13627,13653,13654,13655,13656,13710,13711,13712,13750,13771,13841,13842,13843,13971,13973,14059,14060,14061,14620,14621,14632,14633,14654,14714],"target":12240,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"allowCapture":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"} end hash-quick d0874eabce12f2f4dd5b62dd37b0d99b turn 6767 200 cmd 1 {"type":"garrison","entities":[12240],"target":10148,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"} end 2) garrison of the unit happens 3 turns after the attack on the unit. 0.6 seconds. turn 6799 200 cmd 8 {"type":"attack","entities":[11066,11526,11529,11740,11741,11742,11744,12119,12389,12973,13259,13264,13265,13266,13269,13270,13271,13276,13437,13438,13439,13440,13495,13517,13519,13625,13627,13653,13654,13655,13656,13710,13711,13712,13750,13771,13841,13842,13971,13973,14059,14060,14061,14620,14621,14632,14633,14654,14714],"target":12240,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"allowCapture":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"} end hash 144bce974a7c9b445307dceabbc89631 ... turn 6802 200 cmd 1 {"type":"garrison","entities":[12240],"target":10148,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"}   3) but then there's also this.  Garrison of the unit happens in the SAME TURN as the attack on the unit.   turn 6784 200 cmd 1 {"type":"garrison","entities":[12240],"target":10148,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"} ... cmd 8 {"type":"attack","entities":[11066,11525,11526,11529,11740,11741,11742,11744,12119,12389,12973,13259,13261,13264,13265,13266,13269,13270,13271,13276,13437,13438,13439,13440,13495,13517,13519,13625,13627,13653,13654,13655,13656,13710,13711,13712,13750,13771,13841,13842,13971,13973,14059,14060,14061,14620,14621,14632,14633,14654,14714],"target":12240, ======================= Probably #3 precludes the possibility of a script.  Amirite?  If so, then it was a coincidence - three times in rapid succession, the moment I attacked, he made the independent decision to disappear?
