Britannia : Consumables - Are they Cheating ?

Hey Ex, hope you're doing well.

I think it's not really cheating because it's a game mechanic. Only going to be a cheat if you want to claim you're doing the fastest time without consumables when you are actually using them. Otherwise, enjoy the extra boost from them!

I should hurry up and finish buying all vanity for all civs so I can spend the rest of my EP on consumables

 

Considering your "hand" situation, that's definitely not cheating !

 

The past 9 months or so it's better than it's been for a decade, thankfully. Still have bad days and weeks from time to time, but having to lift heavy and often at work helps keep the inflammation down. Neck and back tightness from driving for delivery work is much nicer than neck and back tightness from taking and transferring sales calls all day too lol

Star rating for which elites in particular?

Thanks for playing my scenario maps. One day I'll add some more and fix/rework some old ones, one day...

 

Just wanted to say, definitely not cheating. They are part of the game, both Empire and Craftable/droppable consumables. Some folks have spidey-senses and can build 30 things while eating a cheeseburger and doing their online food shop, others maybe not so much…lol.

As mentioned, if you claim to do a quick time while using a consumable but saying you didnt, thats dishonest. But simply using the consumables to complete quests you struggle with (regardless of reason) is not cheating, and sometimes can help a player to improve by getting further in the quest and understanding its mechanics.

I suffer from a myriad of physical issues, chronic back and joint pain, both arthritic and otherwise, plus tendon and ligament issues, ever since I was a child, but I’ve persevered and generally manage to do quite well when I shouldn’t be able to. I used to play CounterStrike:Source at euro clanbase competition level, but after each competitive game, wow did I need some pain relief haha.

Now, at the grand old age of, well, I saw Transformers The Movie (animation) in the cinema, I enjoy playing this game so much, like I did when it first came out, but I cant do what i used to. So, me and my coop friend who I used to CS:S with, play legs, but with the 4/5* Celeste ones, we tend to use labour and resources of empire, that way we get to have fun taking out the enemy without feeling old and decrepit We still get bugger all rewards in the chests, but thats just bad luck

Play the game however you want, however makes you happy. Dont worry about the hardcore players who can complete Invasion of Rome using just their engineers as an attack force and building storehouses instead of fortresses. Just enjoy it….
