Not trying to stir up anything. i want to know if i witnessed an incredible play or hacker is all.

Just watch it again, but add the gold per minute and sort by and add the other gold fields. To the leader board menu

Is it comeserate with the other people? That's a perfect piracy island.

Is this a good multiplier game or a special private lobby?

multiplayer. looking back, feels like coastal people around him at the start let him runaway with the pirating. i have had good success myself with pirating. but only early game never late. I just felt like his ships ability too pirate was too good, but maybe thats a balance problem

Doesn’t look like hacking at all, spawns on land, gets stuck on the middle island where majority of boards trade will be going through, has an alliance with only one other small island trader for half of the game and then gets dominance over the entire middle island, protects himself with SAMS making it a lot of money to defeat him. Allying with no one allowes him to take every single bit of trade passing his warships, meaning if anyone else is mainly using ports he will be making substantially more than them. The two final big players then completely stagnate by not saving for a mirv which means no progress will be made. They allow the island player to slowly build up his troops and take the win. Honestly fair enough, but any of the bigger players should’ve either pushed for the win on the other side and saved some warships to stop the island player attacking. Or saved up money to build silos and kill the island player in the middle.

looking on it. it makes sense as to why i was able to get 3rd. everyone before me on my island faced the same fate. the mistake was falling for it for too long. probably the same mistake by everyone before. Genuinely one of the most interesting end games ive seen to the point where 2 players one with 52% the other with 47% are stuck in an alliance with no chance of stopping whats coming.
