We are a group of 5 friends that usually play games together. We recently picked up Civ 5 and have been playing it quite a bit.
We always add AIs to our games too. We have a turn timer on, and usually after we're done with our time (but the turn timer has not run out) it takes some time for the AIs to finish up too and for the next turn to start. This friend claims it's because of overall computer performance, and I don't know enough about the game to dispute it.
Because of this, he always insists he should host, his game is installed on an SSD drive, and he has the fastest internet connection between all of us, and around the same processor.
Some other factors that have made me suspicious are:
a)He's the most likely to cheat in any game. The rest of us don't like cheating at all. But he always feels like he should win and can get grumpy when he doesn't.
b) Some crashes have been happening now that he's hosting that were not happening when anyone else was hosting. Sometimes it goes from game to loading screen back to game without anyone actually getting disconnected/crashing. Or sometimes he just crashes and the host gets passed over.
c) He always seems to have the surprisingly biggest army, best starting location, find the best random wonders, etc.
Is he cheating?
