What is a lag exploit?
And does stealing someone's worker make me a "BS lag exploit user"?

No. Sometimes the lag helps you. Sometimes the lag kills you. All should learn to live with the result.

What is a lag exploit? And does stealing someone's worker make me a "BS lag exploit user"? This is someone who may or may not have a computer which responds more slowly than yours at the start of the turn, and so you may or may not have a second or two at the start of the turn where they cannot react to your previous threats/moves... such as moving next to a worker, and then stealing it. Or, it may simply be someone who is slower with the keys than you and cannot imagine that their own failings are the cause of their lost worker.

I think the latter is almost certainly, nay certainly true. I just wanted others to come to this conclusion as well.

If you think you will lose a worker just automate it, it will move at the start of the turn, and most times the other player won't move fast enough to steal it.

I cant move my first 1.5 seconds of every turn. I figured it was the same for everyone, am I wrong tho? I never win a start of turn click match like i did with civ3.

The proper way to quick move is to highlight the unit you wish to move immediately on the following turn. IN between turns your sword cursor will turn into the spinny wheel. As soon as the wheel stops spinning you can click or hotkey to move your unit. I have found that people who cry about 'lag' turn out a lot of times to actually just be getting the quick move penalty into the next turn. For example, i move in a mounted unit with 7 seconds left and see a worker within range to take on the next turn. In response the other player moves a unit towards the worker to try to protect it in time. However because they moved their unit with about 3 or 4 seconds left, they recieve a penalty on their next turn and lose their worker anyway. Lag can kill or help deal with it, but alot of times its just a NOOB moving his units around too close to the next turn.

While I haven't gone so far as to give up on the quick move, I seem to get out quick moved so often that it's a pleasant surprise more than anything when it works properly for me!

Well, apparently there's some damn special quick move trick.
The ..A.. boyz know it but they keep it to themselves like. They're such nasty men!
Rokkit mentioned to me there was an extra trick, but he wouldn't divulge what it was, so it must have been around quite a while (I think he said he learnt it from Islandia or some such vet). Now he's passed away from the ladder scene.

What are the effects of that "damn special quick move trick" ?
Btw, killing someone and winning because of a trick the other team doesn't know... is a poor victory and sportmanship.
Is it the "no 7 seconds stack delay" someone posted in the forum some time ago ? ... when someone leaves a unit that can move and put a stack on it at last second of turn... then move all stack at beginning of turn without delay ?

Once the sword changes to the spinny wheel you must click in the cursor. You dont need to wait until the wheel changes back to a sword.
