Thread: Questionable Tactics

  1. #1

    Default Questionable Tactics

    I have been wanting to bring up some questionable tactics to discuss whether they are valid game play or cheat. state your reason why or why not.

    *all discussion are about legit in-game playing not involving alts

    1. reinforce troops to an alliance mate who has vesta on to save 1/2 food upkeep.
    2. apply free upkeep buffs such as milk-n-cookie to the max then go into holiday. come back after others' buffs expire and offer troop parking to alliance mates.
    3. ask a friend to adv port a city next to a red then take the city to cancel 24-hour no-march effect.
    4. same as #3, except that: adv port -> send attack to take the city -> current city owner goes into truce or holiday. so no one else can take city but you.
    5. Relaying resource transport with players of different prestige levels to avoid plunder penalty.
    6. long hour(long distance, 24hr+ blinking) attack. It's annoying but real attack can come when you sleep if you don't truce.
    7. 1-person alliance. declare with funny names then disband.
    8. put a victim in block list before attacking to cut off communication
    9. building more cities than allowed by your title at the same time to make npcing flat faster
    10. posting bids/offer twice faster than others
    11. transport resources to other cities without deducting Food from Load Capacity
    12. item farming
    13. honor dumping
    14. resource farming from valley
    15. lvl10 farming hero transfer without medals
    16. free adv teleporters


    Edit: moved topics up for easier reading

    Note 1: Dont call me idiot to expose them if these were your secrets lol
    Note 2: Some could still exist and some could be gone dont ask how to do it, just state what you think please

    1, everyone knows about it & I really don't think that's a glitch or cheat.
    2, not sure, I think it was & I don't know for sure but I think they've patched it (please correct me)
    3, This is a glitch I'll say because it's bypassing the 24hr cool down that comes with using an advanced teleport.

    1. Perfectly fine
    2. If they paid for holiday and the buff, why shouldn't they be able to use it?
    3. That's always been part of the game. Imagine if you capped an enemy city that had been adv ported and were then subject to the cooldown of the original player...that'd be stupid. And with the valley movement thing being fixed, it has lost a lot of its potency

    No, I am probably not from your server. Yes, I do feel I can comment in your forum. And yes, I do think flaming on the internet is hilarious to watch. Nor do I require an avatar.

    1, is totally legit. It is not in any way a secret to others.
    2, depends how much Evony wants to get their money for the vestas... Then again, the person is paying for holiday.
    3, legit... Just legit.

    1. its not a glitch .... you mate is feeding your army and if he has vesta then he feeds less
    2. think they fixed it to make it the time everyone else had... e.g if it was for 4 days... you will have 4 days of the buff after holiday.. ( duno tho. )
    3. this isnt a glitch either... evony said you can not attack but can be attacked.... so if someone attacks you and take city its allowed....

    1 and 3 are basis figuring out.... 2 depends on evony lol...

    I wouldn't see any of those as a cheat or exploit. You cannot gain anything more than you've put in by doing these... to get an advanced teleport for your friend or vesta for yourself, money has to be paid and they're going to be a one-use item. Gaining 50% upkeep for xx hours after an event ends by holidaying means you lost the same 50% upkeep for the same xx hours during the event.

    I'll have to agree that #3 is a bit of a grey area. To intentionally city swap to bypass the cool down could be considered an exploit.(please understand I'm not saying it is) If it's capped by the enemy then no it wouldn't be.

    But how many of us advance port in a red flag state.
