    • A segment of the video above.  
    • Most of the cheats that you discuss exist in the form of a mod. Here is a potential solution: the clients synchronize all mod files from the host during the gamesetup process, regardless of whether the client has the same mods or not. All clients and the host will expose their mods folder to each other for synchronization over network, while players are chatting or waiting for the game to start. The advantages of my solution are: 1. All cheat edits of signed legitimate mods will be overwritten instantly. 2. Players don't need to restart the game or go through the hassle to download mods in order to join a particular host. 3. Less likely for OOS errors.
    • I rarely saw an enemy just giving up, sitting and waiting for my coup de grace. In my experience the enemy has lost most if not all of their soldiers when I reach their CC. There might be some rebuilding effort, but with most of the population, production buildings and dropsites gone it usually won't amount to much; you can see in the replay if they even had any means to fight back. Basically it's gg for them once I get the CC. Since way back in AoE2 I usually play with one ally against four enemies; teaming them up will greatly increase their resistance. With everything randomized the games will vary widely, how much I have to help my ally, having no invited guests vs. fighting off four armies simultaneously...
    • I guess you see it as a black and white issue. I promise you its not, most players disapprove of cheating with progui but don't work together to exclude it from games, that still makes it cheating. It only takes one person to offend but it takes the near unanimous and timely agreement of multiple players to actually stop it. Most players don't want to "disturb the peace" to argue that a player should should be disallowed from using cheats, which starts heated arguments and delays the game. Instead the conversation online should be about whether to allow it when someone asks to use it.
    • A single AI is usually not a challenge, so you'd need to play against a team. Or maybe there is some mod somewhere with higher AI difficulty.
