Well on the bright side if each of his accounts is only 1 city he's gonna have aweful troop production unless each account has a wicked hero....which odds are they won't since he doesn't have the means to make a large army for hero lvling

I'MMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
norr is basically a lesser version of shep
hes not as awesome as me, but hell do root (nod)
You reckon? I had a run in with a lowbie last week who had his 1 alt 1 mile from his main acct. He basically set about stealing all my valleys everyday. It got to me at first but then you realise it's probably just 30% of your income, write it off.
I would drive his main down to 0 loy and let everything disapprear - do that 4-5 times a day but all he needs to do is train 2 scouts.
Oh yeah and his alt was even better cos it was in BP so I couldn't do anything to slow it down and he was able to throw decent numbers of scouts at my valleys. He even mailed me to tell me his alt was coming oout of BP but he had another one he was building up.
With a bot or whatever you can probably drop them to 5 loyalty and kill the army or starve them out. With an alt that somebody doesn't care about and that is in BP you got no options.

Sigh, that is so true too
That was the one pest thing about 1 city accts in BP. I have to admit that a good 1 city player can give people hell (without doing all that BS u just mentioned) but more often than not its not the case....
btw, I haven't seen a modern bot reduced to 5 loy, at least not while run by someone with half a brain.
They don't even have to remember to accurately program them (I'm not going to spell out the exact things - that is against forum rules, I've been warned). Targets are set to what need to be achieved per city and the program automates resource shifting etc to keep that target met.
However, there are enough dumb users too. And I see them banned too. Its the users programming them to act much as they themselves would that give the most grief. Wait till you run into one.....
Oh well dunno about the whole bot situation cos well - I haven't even tried to use one.
I do agree with your last point - most players now are pretty terrible. I feel the average player level has plumetted since I last dipped my toe on 144 about 6-7 months ago. There are a number of reasons but I think 1 might be that if you let a bot do most of the work for you how will you learn how to play. It has to be less hands on, less dealing with the detail?

While multi-accounting may increase time or money invested on the part of the player, alt accounts in general mean more ressies .. mean more troops .. mean the average guy or gal stands no chance. Multi-accounting provides an unfair advantage against those who do follow the rules.
Evony needs to change the rules or enforce the rules we all signed on to in the beginning. Many items listed in the terms of service clearly were written to ensure something of a level playing field for all those who log in daily.
The botting, multi-accounting, key sharing, account sitting, all of this occurs routinely on our server and makes it next to impossible to beat down alliances we all know wouldn't stand a snow ball's chance otherwise.
I personally would welcome a return to basics. The people I play with daily grew in this game following those basic strategies and tactics. We know how to rein our teammates, share resources legitimately, and coordinate as a team to take down a target. This is how the game was meant to be played. Let's get back to it already!
I'll take comments --and beatings -- off the air![]()

wow one account i wonder why evony won't do their job and find out who has made the 400+ qwerty accounts on SS31. Sounds like to me they can't manage the game at all.
With the amount of servers evony has it does take time for them to go through them all. Account removal is done, even though people feel its not fast enough
but in some cases of people i know in rl, a wife and husband will both play the game, or two twins will play the game together. and to a line of code it'll look like multi-accounting but in reality it's not. so to some extent they do have to go through servers by hand, or just respond to people's specific reports of multi-accounting.
if you really have a problem with multi-accounting send messages to evony staff so it'll come up to their attention. that's the only way multi accounters have been shut down, some from alliances i've been in and some from enemy alliances.
just be careful cause if you report multi-accounting your account will get double checked too
