    Since I have already been told I am correct about this reason by an evony rep I can tell you with confidence that the reason they do not allow the multiple accounts within a given household to have military contact is because there are people out there that will contact evony claiming to have x number of players in there home even though all they want is to have a personal "Feeder" account for their main account. It sucks that a husband and wife, or father and son can't help each other out but the rule is in place to discourage this type of Lying just to get a second account for personal use. At least Evony is making some kind of allowance for family play, they could just have stated one account per household period.

    The account sharing issue is one of the one I agree with fully. The game is stacked in the defenders favor as it is, if Evony allows an account to be worked in shifts so that there is always a live person sitting at the account it becomes all but impossible to take a city from that account. With the ability to perform comforting every 15 minutes and loyalty only dropping 1 point every 6 minutes once it gets to 15 you can kiss your chances of ever getting a city to Zero unless the person babysitting the account doesn't know what they are doing especially is they have a warehouse as even a low level warehouse will ensure you have the food needed to comfort.

    "People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right"

    I like when they keep praying and filling a defenseless city full of troops. I just keep hitting and hitting till the alliance has no troops left and wait. You can easily kill a small alliance this way. Evony is a game of paitence and stamina.
    Stop wasting time searching for those wasted years.

    It's even more of an annoyance when other members of that alliance try to force someone to reinforce the city when they know that's a bad idea.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^

    techlordz,
    What is boring to one, can be fun to another. Personally, I find sitting at a computer for hours on end nothing but boring. I was deeply frustrated with this game until i aquired a few levels to make it interesting.
    I have since found that having 10 cities, all farming 9 NPC's, is WAY too time consuming. Especially when you have to keep up with those around you that have 1 million + troops at their disposal.
    So, Yea, a few months ago someone gave me a link to a program that solved that problem. I didn't care about the rest of the capabilities of that one, used it to farm NPC's so I wasn't forced to just sit here for hours on end doing nothing but trying to feed a massive army just to keep up so I wouldn't get hammered by those bigger than I.
    I got put on "Holiday" for it. And now it seems every time they do a sweep, even though I haven't used it since, I'll be put on "holiday" every time from what I've read.
    Is this fair? Hell no. But that is the "American Way of Life". Make a mistake, regardless of the reasoning, pay for it for life.
    As long as things are the way they are in this game, people will continue to use the programs that will benefit them. That's just the way it is.
    ONly problem I have is with the "Communication" aspect, or lack there of as it were.
    Evony is real quick at taking whatever action they see fit, they are non existant when it comes to answering anything.

    Many games like this throughout the years have prohibited multiple people in a household from playing together. Simply because you could multi account and pretend to be 2 or more people. All your reasons for why it is silly you and your wife can't play together are valid, but you have to just refer to the #1 reason.

    Some games back in the day you couldn't even play unless you had a mail account through your ISP that wasn't free. This kept people from using yahoo or hotmail accounts and getting 2 accounts on some of these browser games. It was also used in some games to prevent spies, and to tell you the truth it seemed to work pretty well. I remember 1 star wars game that looked really cool that I actually never got to play because I had no ISP email.

    So it sucks you have some boundaries but keeping a game with integrity has to come first.

    So if you used the program to help you farm and got suspended, then stopped using it to not get suspended... but still get suspended because you used it once in the past.. why not still use it?

    I mean if your gonna get suspended for something you dont do, why not get suspended for something you did do and at least not have to spend HOURS just trying to get food JUST to defend yourself. If Im gonna do the time, you bet your @ss im gonna do the crime.

    Oh wait heres something already thought of and put into countless posts..
    FIX THE FOOD PROBLEM AND THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE A PROGRAM FARM FOR YOU! Hell even incorperate an auto farmer into the game. Wait theres no profit in it for Evony if they do that. Put a charge on it, $5 a month would make you more money then the same "New Years deal" youve been advertising for months now. Hey Evony news flash, its the end of Febuary.

    Default Partly the answer

    That's what many of us have been suggesting. While this is a socialy based game, I don't know of very many people that litterally have the time to just sit and farm like that. It's NOT realistic.
    But, I like many others, really do enjoy the game when it's fairly even. I'm not saying that all players should be limited to 1000 troops to fix the problem either as that wouldn't solve it. What's the fun in just wasting troops on a battle you can't win?
    I've had a lot of fun attacking guy's that were bigger than I was and wittling down their troops and ending up with a city. lol
    But, in order to that, I had to have a massive army in multiple cities. They won't feed themselves, and there is NO WAY I am going to dump that amount of money into this or any other game just to keep an army fed when it can be easier done another way.
    Will I use the program again? Nope, but if they don't fix the problem, i'll just simply quit.
    I didn't get an email saying I had been banned for using it this time, I got one saying there was a problem with a payment I made at some point. I'm still waiting to hear back from them with a date, a transaction code or SOMETHING so I can go take care of it.
    They could have just simply sent me an email stating that WITHOUT the holiday break, but, Guess that would be asking too much.
    Keep in mind, any payment that has been made thru PayPal, MoneyBrokers, your bank account or a credit card can be REVERSED up to two years later.
    Somehow, I can see a LOT Of that happening if this continues.

    When several people I personally know of complained about a MASSIVE cheater, it took Evony weeks to do something about it. By that time, many paid players had lost cities, troops (in other words, dollars). When the offender was finally booted the alliance was allowed to continue, even though it was commonly known that ALL the members had participated in, benefitted by, &, at the least, condoned the cheats. The alliance should have been disbanded, the cheater banned, & all the members of the alliance at the time restarted. Too late now. Many people lost money over that. Now, on inuendo, or sweeps people are suspended. We have two whom I KNOW did nothing of the sort, but were suspended. Evony doesn't respond to mails, inquiries, nothing. All it would take would be the most cursory investigation of the accounts in question & it would be apparent they didn't cheat. Shame on Evony.

    if you're busted for *incert B-word here) it's only fair they get sacked (no inofo should be needed)

    but when you're being banned for multi-accounts - at least send a mail asking them to confirm they are more than one person - it's easy. Being banned and having no idea destroyed my sleep last night. (my wife got banned, not me)

    she was let in again after 24 hours but still no explanation of her being banned. as paying customers I think a little note is fairly asked for

    Hey Soulie - how did you get them to let your wife back in?
