multiple accounts

Wuzzy is my twin brother.
I play together with him.
We are both competative and have fierce competition in the rankings.

Yeah we are twins, we sometimes acts as one.
My twinbrother is saying that he killed your caravans.
Is that why you made this post?

You thought Wuzzel and Wuzzy were 1 person?

1) The exponentially increasing cost of settling/conquering cities means that no one will ever have more than an estimated 12 accounts.  It becomes impossible to gain the population requirements beyond that point.  It is part of the balanced design of the game and puts a hard limit on how much effort a single account will ever require to maintain.  In fact, it's in my opinion one of the big pluses to this game.

2)  You're at a bigger disadvantage against multiple accounts that are run by multiple people.  Two single-account players who team up against you are also twice as strong and can pay twice as much attention to disrupting your operations.  If you're lucky, they might be less coordinated than a single-player pair of accounts, but more likely it means being able to share the load of managing time-sensitive operations.  In practical terms, your problem is largely unchanged.  The answer in both cases is to make friends, join alliances, etc., not mope about how big and bad the world is.

You can see the landscape around you.  Whether those surroundings are run by 6 2 account players or 12 1 account players makes no meaningful difference.  It's literally a six of one, half a dozen of the other type of argument.  This is a highly social game and hugely impacted by elements of coordination.  That's something with which you'll just have to come to terms.

Oh, and just to clarify.  Yes, I realize the game is still in beta state, and there's much yet to do.  The devs are also open to change when change brings improvement, and changing the 2 accounts rule could potentially be an improvement.

It is not, however, nearly so significant or important a change as you make it out to be.  There are many other issues that are far more important to balancing and improving gameplay, whereas this is a truly trivial issue, especially in regard to the basis of the viewpoints you are representing.  Whether to allow 2 accounts doesn't really matter...it just doesn't make a useful difference.

If you search the forum for wuzzy you will find a post form you posting a message sent to wuzzy. I guess it could be that you posted it for him but again... it doesnt really matter for my dislike of the rule and since multi's are allowed it really doesnt matter whether you did or not.
