Alts, a pain in Evony's behind.

4. If they dont land near me, reset account and try again.
5. Landed near me (us) now holding a flat for 7 days.
6. I fill in all other flats when it comes around to lvl 10.
7. Enemy random ports the alt out, adv ports in war city.
This buys them 7 days time to get stuff together and a new way to "port" right next to you. I thought that alt accounts where against the TOS unless proper notification is given. So I'm good to report the account(s) doing this right?
P.S. If you want to fight, come on. Don't make an alt account and try to sneak in. If you sneaking in then you must be afraid? Just saying
It is a strategy used by those that cheat the game. They say all is fair in love and war and although many 'Evony Addicts' do not condone the use of them, I am sure that if you and your alliance were using these 'tactics' it would be to their own personal gain and if 'the end justifies the means' it is, to them a viable strategy to use.

Good luck with reporting them. They are called 'Alts' because they are disposable and Evony will have a hard time trying to keep up. You don't even need to make a dummy email account for it, just put in any old 'bogus' email address and hey presto you have an 'Alt'.

Some people run 2 accounts, simple as that. If they get killed in one account they move to the second and all is better.
Some people use them like you said above.
Fact is, I would not be surprised if 80 percent of evony players have created a second or more accounts on the same server. Evony would have a rough time banning them for multiple people could be on the same IP. For example, Im at college and run off the college internet. Whos to say that one of the other 30,000 kids here doesnt have an account on the same server. We are on the same IP, however are in no way relation to each other.
I have come across some 'Big Hitters' with a whole alliance of 'Alts' dedicated to feeding them so they can amass massive armies in a bid control the server. In war there's only one rule you must know, " There are NO RULES'
