    Default HC bets and wagers

    Lets make some bets on what Evony will do to address the HC issues as they relate to HC's not trading hands between rivals due to account sharing and other things. Post what you think Evony will do down the road to help resolve this frustrating game issue. Whoevers idea(s) are closest to what the Evony Dev team does is the winner. I will make a special Youtube Video praising that forum poster and declaring that forum poster the winner and figurative master of us all....

    Thanks to Boleslav for the Afro Samurai Signature series.
    I have made a few video guides that may help you.

    I bet that they will do nothing. It isn't a problem, you are just incapable of capping them yourself.

    There actually is a way to capture ANY city that is being held with account sharing. It works for Age 1 or Age 2 Attack servers or HCs on Age 2 non-attack servers. It requires a little patience and diligence, but it works. It has been posted on the forums before.

    My guess for the "contest" is that Evony will do nothing.
    I don't think anything needs to be fixed with HC mechanics, and I think Evony agrees. If anything is done, then it will be Evony finding a way to actually enforce account sharing. That's where the problem lies, not in the actual HCs themselves.

    Over maintenance attacking? that might work but you also send stand the chance of losing your troops.

    How does that work? Maintenance is 15 mins long, loyalty drop from 15 is 1.5 hrs. Does loyalty drop per attack instead over time due to grievance during the maintenance window (like it does when hitting a NPC)? That would be only way I could see maintenance window being usable.

    In fact, recently I was hitting an inactive HC and had loyalty down to 4 when maintenance countdown was announced I had long distance waves in transit that would land in 20 mins, 25 mins 30 mins etc to cap (grievance was maxed)....When I came back on after maintenance the city had loyalty of 12 and gates were closed for some reason (no chance player came online right before or after maintenance or at all, totally inactive person).

    Looking, but I don't believe it.

    You organize your alliance attack at maintenance time with enough waves to break the defense, and grind the grievance to 100. Then send one loyalty wave with a camp time to arrive more than 1.5 hours after the last wave hits. Do this every day.

    Eventually one day will have a surprise "extended maintenance", and the maintenance won't end for a few hours, so the player can't comfort. You will return to a captured HC, once the server goes live again.

    I would wager that this thread is closed before a solution is presented and imposed.

    JP, correct me if I am wrong, but I think the crux if the issue for you is account sharing.

    Its been a problem for a long long long time, and Evony hasn't figured out a way for it to be fixed, so I doubt it will happen any time soon. I am not as good with cmputers as alot of people here but from what I have read its a hard thing to do.

    Now let me indulge your 8 hour sleep mode theory for a second. This seems like a very complicated peiece of coding and implmentation.

    Lets compare this to the attack overflow glitch one, which in comparison was a small problem. That bug was posted in the forum and took 6-8 months to be resolved, and now there is a similar bug in age II which effects drafting.

    So it took them 6 months to fix that(and a similar issue recurred) how long do you think it will take them to code your planned resoluation?

    Bascally what I am saying is you need to spend more time learning mechanics and coming up with creative solutions to achieve your goals within the framework we now have. Otherwise your just spinning your wheels.

    Ahhhh....nice. The old Surprise Extended Maintenance gambit (SEM).

    Sounds good. Though I haven't kept track of how many extended maintenances have occurred since I started playing to know just how long the odds are on this gambit.

    Also, I am not sure what happened with my last HC attack (on inactive) that stretched through maintenance but at some point during maintenance loyalty was increased (and not by player).

    I bet Evony will do nothing.
