I cant see any major way it can be exploited the only thing that is exchangeable in this game is resources, so yes someone might be able to upgrade a bit faster by making a 2nd/3rd account but the amount of time needed to build a city large enough to be worthwhile to me doesnt seem to be an issue. you cant transfer them your cents nor can you transfer them your items/packets, and yes while a lot of these type games do ban multi accounts, even when they do this people always find ways around it, I have seen a lot of people in other games that run multi accounts where it is banned, I have reported a few of them over the years too, but in those games there is great benefit from running multi accounts, in this game I still dont see any major exploit that can be done except as stated before by sending resources to grow faster, but it wont be much faster
The bottom line is that Kevin wants registrations. Go register 400-500 accounts, join them too the same alliance, and begin to farm resources if you want to teach him a lesson. Don't sit on the forum and complain about exploitation. Go exploit.
Everyone else is doing it.
dankfire,
I read this post and I made a brainhalt1 account. My clan leader had reservations about adding it to our alliance, but since the post by you stated it was ok he allowed it.
I was then pointed to this thread: http://bbs.civony.com/showthread.php?t=11
In RED it says I can be banned for multiple accounts!
I'm going to need clarification as these two items contradict each other. If indeed creating that account was in violation - please respect my honesty and just ban my brainhalt1 account so I can keep my main. Thanks.
Heh, I can't believe there are actually people in support of multiple accounts.
Note, I'm not talking about several people on one IP. I meant one person with several accounts.
A general rule is that the account must be played to its own benefit. Thus, giving away resources to a "real" account would be not playing to its own benefit, and ban away.
If you want to know how to exploit, simply make several accounts. One account makes only barracks, while rest makes resource. Send all resources to the barracks account, and you'll have a huge army in no time. A few workers to transport resources is nothing. The transit time is also fairly short.
With the huge army, rapidly settle several new villages. The new villages will be able to get put up quickly with the feeder villages. Set them up with barracks etc. You can upgrade the resource fields slowly later.
You'll come out of BP with an army several times what anyone else can get. GG no re.
I think people should only be allows to have 1 account. However there needs to be a better way to enforce it then by IP. There should be a way for the admins to spot cheaters. For example. If the same IP has 2 accounts and the second account does nothing but sent resources to account1 they are cheating and should be banned. However if both accounts play alot and seem to be playing normally then they should be allowed to play.
It may not be clear to everyone, but when this thread began. the official policy was that multiple accounts were acceptable. the policy changed and the first post edited from "allowed" to "not allowed" confusing the issue somewhat.
some of the posts no longer make sense since the policy change.
words are funny things
they can explain, or confuse
please use them wisely
if u have more than one account than u could send stuff to a low account to help it build up fast but some game's do let you have more than one account if it not on the same server
as it was initially allowed I tried this multiple account thing. Mainly to try different strategies to get the initial village off the ground. But I tell you, it's no fun and I got very confused between my different accounts. It would mean putting a lot more hours in to run several accounts in a decent way and it already takes a lot of hours on one account.
The only advantage is building up a small village as a farm and that gets tired very soon. I was running these on server 2, so if you come across my multis there, have fun.
It would help if there was a start-over function.
