    There are two options available to you. One you temporary hand your HC over to a fellow member of your alliance or you can get someone to account sit. The latter does mean sharing your details with some you trust but it's one option to consider.

    The difference between sitting and sharing is that the former is a legal method of covering your account if you need to spend time away from the game.

    You must inform Evony who is to account sit (you are only allowed one named person) and how long for. Don't log in at any point during the allotted time otherwise that could be seen as account sharing which isn't permitted.

    However, I do agree with Gamble some kind of special Holiday mode should be offered to HC owners for genuine holidays and suchlike.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    There are also restrictions on what actions you can take. Read the TOS for specifics.

    I don't. HCs don't change hands enough, and then for someone to holiday and take them off the table completely? It's not fair to others, and doesn't help position HCs as an achievement to gain and a challenge to keep. What would keep someone from holiday bouncing like they do in Age 1?

    Holidaying isn't a huge problem in age 2, I can only remember 1 or 2 times when I was attacking a normal city and someone holidayed in my entire age 2 career. Maybe if you let it effect HC's it will become some sort of a problem but I highly doubt it. The reason to why HC's don't change hands often is because of the ridiculous amount of time the defender gets to save their city, the extremely long amount of time it takes for loyalty to drop, and the overall discouragement that this causes to attackers who ultimately just leave it.

    For HC's change the loyalty drop time or lower the minimum loyalty before grievance drop, do not completely eradicate it but make it such a number that comfort can only be used 3-5 times before actual battle is needed to maintain the city. If you do this I guarantee you HC's will start dropping like flies, age 2 players have so many troops holed up in cities its not even funny.


    Edit: Neko did you delete your post that was after me or was it deleted? It was a good post anyway.

    if you dont think they change hands enough please please please take speech texts off facebook, this alone will be a step in the right direction, any further more drastic action like shortening the time it takes for loy to drop can be looked at afterwards.

    remove spch txts from fb and remove all spch txt items from peoples items and while i say leave spch txts on the wheel i believe the spch txt bundle of 8 can be removed from the wheel.

    what you are saying is totally wrong, people should be able to leave their HC's in a safe mode while they go for a break for a few weeks, i have to sail over the atlantic ocean in 3 weeks, that will keep me away for at least 10 days. me putting my account (inc hc's) in holiday for 2 weeks is not going to change how often they change hands, you are hurting the honest players while people that account share and endless spch txt to keep hold of HC's get away with murder.

    sorry if this seems like a rant, its not. just stating some facts that i think most people will agree with.

    Basically, if HC's arn't aaffected by Holiday mode, then it's a 24hr truce you pay for as long as you need it. People with HC's and cannot use Holiday/Truce on HC's, that promotes account sitting/sharing.
