Showing treasure numbers just increases bullying, in the earliest stage anyway. A king loses a few treasures, then every alliance around sees it and is attacking that same king, whose governors are still in BP and can't help. Because kingdoms are so crammed, attacks come from just a few minutes away. Learning your mistake after the first attack and trying in vain to build up defense troops and a wall with constant incoming attacks is very hard for anyone other than an experienced player with lots of gold. The people who play this game server after server with high activity levels could be trusted to give input before adding new features.

VVV, com.1 was won by a team of under 40 players. Done the hard way with lots of patience, activity, skill and perseverance.

I also think that changes need to be made to make meta playing less attractive. I agree of course that being in a meta is the easiest way to win a server as the game mechanics are currently, but I wasn't talking about the easiest way. I was talking about playing in a way that honors the principles you espouse. To me it's also about whether winning or sticking to your principles is more important. Walking the walk, not just talking the talk. No offense intended VVV, as I agree with almost everything you write, but when you play as a king in a meta, then you are supporting meta playing.

Loved VVV's comment too, other than the com5 part. I don't get how you could say that you've been "advocating for reducing the meta influence" when you're supporting the meta concept. A good team can win a server without going down the meta path. We've all seen it or read about it. We need more leaders and teams with courage and skill to show that it can be done again and again. Until then your actions show that you believe metas are the only way to win.

Many of us were there and read Swordy's lies. The thing was that we didn't know Swordy had a dual, and it wasn't the account owner doing all the talking (where he agreed with BadZone to disband United) but the dual. I wasn't in xTools but felt that United acted dishonorably first and that xTools reacted with dishonor. Those on opposing sides (including me) will never agree as we are all biased to some extent. We need to use what we've learned from this and keep the conversation with TG going to remove the possibility of this happening again. Team, rather than individual, ownership of WWs might be the best solution.

I used to instabuild when it was 3 gold to cover all building and researches queued, but now I don't instabuild at all.

I just relocated to right beside a king's cap. He's in the third biggest alliance in the server. I bet he's thrilled to have an unknown player beside him.

It's the same with new messages flashing constantly on the screen. Please give us the ability to stop them.

I thought it was just me doing this repeatedly.

That's happened to me more than once too.

In the lobby beside your login name, you'll see More written in green with a little i in a circle beside it. Click on the i.
Your friend needs a lobby account of his own to be added as your dual.

Thanks Sarge and KEEN, but I'm no longer playing the server and just letting people farm the village, signing in to keep it active. This means I don't have to worry about being attacked by robbers.

Can I stop new hideouts from spawning by leaving just a few resources and no troops in the current 2 I still have?

Female heroes have very masculine looking hands and feet.

I think it would be useful for all sent messages to show automatically whether these were sent by a dual or sitter. It would solve problems that have been seen in multiple servers.

I'm pretty sure that admin will be able to see if exsitter and attacker communicated ingame.

Spawning in a Russian area again....Google translate tells me that our alliance leader just said "Hey. We , the Kings , it is necessary to exchange the locks , and then tomorrow 's hot Bude" Well, yeah, that's OK with me I guess. Perhaps language barriers might be a good enough reason for relocation? The delete process is already underway. I'm just not going through this again.

You could go after the player who sent the siege too. He's as low as your exsitter.

Well, I also sent a message to the Help Centre as I wanted to know fast, and was told "Those resources can still be stolen, because they are still in your village." so now I'm confused.

Are resources reserved in the build queue safe from raiders?
