One of the entry criteria for the Trial Civilization Alliance is to be at least a Level 76 Civilization.
Even the minimum standard for a formal membership requires a Level 77 Civilization!
Even for a Trial Civilization, it's a level bottleneck that normally takes at least a millennium to overcome.
This speaks volumes to the might of the Alliance!
Among their most potent advantages is the utilization of system exploits, particularly in the sharing of intelligence and issuing of critical warnings.
The self-audit function of the Civilization Trial System was a warning issued by the Alliance at their first contact with the Heavenly Dao Civilization.
The valuable knowledge and insights gained thereafter are the prime reasons why the Heavenly Dao Civilization could initially exploit cheats and continue to develop them.
