Basically, in a no-rush game...  I haven't been preparing my military units until the last ten minutes before NR period ends, as I try to work on my econ. Yesterday I had the unfortunate experience that two out of two games (both NR in the title), the opponents ended up rushing. Both were "custom" or hosted games that CLEARLY stated NR in the title.

So now I ended up with two losses...  not because I couldn't handle the opponents, but because they went against the "treaty rules"
 

Is there something that can be done?  Can they be somehow reported for not following game rules?

i don't think so, what you could do is to pest them.

also, if possible, buy TAD, as treaty in it is an official game mode, and it's impossible to attack, or build too far from your TC before it ends

I strongly suggest if you want to play NR games to purchase one of the expansions where the treaty mode is enforceable and not simply a house rule.

Now if you find a player consistently joining and breaking NR games and have clear evidence, then first you should not play in games with said player, and second you can report them to abuse. 

 

Thanks,

Not the answer I wanted to hear...  but at least it's an honest one.  I guess I'll have to buy TAD.

we would rather not update vanilla, because we make more money if you buy our product, The Asian Dynasties.

Yeah buying TAD is te only way, unless you want to play deathmatch or rush games. 

Personally myself i prefer the treaty mode on TAD as it stops this problem but it has also created another problem of that the other player can just gather all of his troops in the parts of maps you cant see near your base and you get slaughtered as you have your army to attack him. Myself in normal AOE3 i tend to build barracks quite early incase of a noob rush.
