Huge amount of resources added on begin - cheat ?

Just check this replay and see rapid growth of resources for my opponent; wtf was that on begin? What he did?

Cheats are allowed for this game. If you look into the metadata.json file you attached you can see:

"cheatsEnabled":true

You can also notice from the commands.txt file you attached:

cmd 1 {"type":"cheat","action":"addresource","text":"wood","player":1,"parameter":1000,"selected":[]}

which confirms that your opponent used cheatcodes.

Double-check game settings before starting a game, especially if rated. ;)

Wait what, cheats can be allowed in rated matches? Wouldn't make sense to me.

Cheats are not allowed in rated games. This is a general recommendation:

I haven't watched the replay, but I can imagine what happened lol. Whoever did this is devious for sure.

Yes I would recommend that selection of the cheats allowed box in the game setup automatically makes the game unrated.

Fortunately it was unrated.
