    I have the ablility to see the map without a fog of war...at the beginning

    I dont know what the heck happens whenever I play ranked multiplayer and Im no hacker but everytime I play zulu, the map loads without water in the ocean and with a fog that is there but if I move the cursor over any where, it is cleared.. With that, it lets me see where cultural boundaries are with their respective colors but not the cities themselves...I love it soooo much!! but I dont know why it keeps happening..Does it happen for anyone else???

    No, you simply see that for less than one sec and you can't stop the cursor to see it, then, you simply see the map but your eyes are too slow to understand really what was there, you can see if there are plains or grasslands perhaps but not so much.

    lol nope
    THe game starts with no water and thin clouds that can be removed if you move ur cursor over any spot. It stays like that and I can see grassland, deserts, and cities...For the whole game

    Then you know how to cheat as well here.. I meant that you could do that for one sec if you stay there and you see that on the board of your screen, but if you can do this, then you are a cheater really other then being a zulu rusher (if I remember you told us you use zulu).

    I told you it was an XBOX bug. Nothing like that never happened to me in the PS3. Then I wouldn't call someone a cheater because s/he exploits a very clear bug of the game. Only an idiot wouldn't take advantage of such a glitch.

    No, this isn't a good cheat really, and maybe he is the only one that can do that seeing everything. Then, remember his name

    However, there are freezers in the game, but you can play this game, don't care about these bugs if you want to play.

    Yea, I guess im the only one but having that cheat doesnt really change the fact that Im the best zulu rusher everr (haha).
    Being able to see the map doesnt really even help me find cities faster. Because some games, it doesnt work.
    SO, Im gonna find the cities anyways..seeing the map just saves me one or two turns of runing into a dead end!]

    Civ is great tho..come back and play people...like me
    haa

    You know what, I find it pretty disturbing that you want to come here and gloat that you're using what is definitely a very nasty bug / exploit to win ranked games. It'd be different if you were actively trying to find ways to fix the problem, perhaps by clearing your 360's cache for instance. Instead though, you're admitting very proudly to using the glitch on your own specific console to help win your games. I can tell you that I did not see this glitch once during my 200 plus ranked games.

    Please do not post threads like this again unless you are looking to resolve the problem instead of brag about it. As a former top ranked H2H Zulu player, I have to say that I really feel ashamed to read something like this from another Zulu ladder player. Have some respect for those that you play against, especially with a rush-friendly side like the Zulus.

    If you'd like to work on getting it resolved, please PM either one of the mods here or Elizabeth.
