Russian:

- Умышленная передача войск с целью уклонения от урона вражеских попаданий

when translated to english, "deliberate transfer of forces with the intention of avoiding damage from enemy units". Can't think of anything better, other wordings sound awkward.

We should link updates like this in the client somehow, otherwise no one will actually know it's banned now.

Tough luck almost everybody under 1000 rating in the faf community, he's right!

Perhaps you'd like to help them by making a tutorial explaining this feature? The most common situation that happens is that a building is upgraded or the player dies in a full share game and the buildings become impossible to target. It will look like it's being targeted but the attack order will disappear before execution and they need to scout everything again to remove this status from them.

regardless if it happens often or not this still shouldn't allow people to do it intentionally like yudi did on stream. Even if you didn't have his PoV it would still be extremely obvious he was abusing it by giving the mex right before the strat drops its bomb.

I just find it hilarious that it saved his mex in the first place

"Transferring control of a unit(s) in one's possession to an allied player in order to remove all orders involving that unit."

Good enough?

- Intentionally transfering unit control to allies to mess with enemy unit targetting priorities

Something like this i'd say

Pretty much.

Give some nice description of the exploit and we can add it to the list of banned exploits here:

Imo it doesn't count as 'breaking' the game and even if it does i still think it should be specifically listed.

"Breaking the game" is very unspecific. Does screwing with the AI means you're breaking the game? Because that includes the transfer of units to make enemy units lose orders, but that also includes blocking pathfinding with 100 t1 aa turrets like heaven does. But the first one is supposedly a banned exploit while the latter is not.

I understand what you're trying to say but it's really hard to distinguish between these kind of things, which is why i think it's better that this exploit is specifically written in the rules just like other ones.

Also the only reason why this rule even exists is to cover for unforeseen glitches/exploits. Otherwise there would be no use to even having the list at all because you can scrap every item except " Anything that breaks the game".

Maybe that's the reason why i made this topic??

Those are situations when bug occures with no player fault, and after that you can just scout once and be fine. And we discuss when players intentionally gift their units or buildings to hide them or mess with enemy orders. You may have scouted, or even have full vision, but you still can lose orders if unit gets gifted
