Strategy and knowledge act as multipliers on rewards- run cav into a building and you'll have a bad time if you have 10 accounts or 2.
A lot of your posts on the forums come down to 'I don't want to put effort into playing the game, can't we just automate X or Y'.  Willingness to put in time is one of the factors that differentiate bad players from good players
This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some person started it, not knowing what it was, and we'll continue posting on it forever just because...

The only effort sould be rewarded imo is Mental in a strategy game . But you are ritgh thats just my opinion. 
Some other regarding your example would prefer to put endless click to harvest in order to have enough troops to eqoualy that they attack with cav to a building.... I would prefer to play a game that i would win this battle

If you look at successful strategy PC games with a competitive scene (Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, Age of Empires 2/4) then in my opinion there are the following points:

1) Strategy/Knowledge is important
2) Activity (troop control) is also important
3) There are both a military and economic approaches - which makes the games (a lot) more interesting

It is similar in competitive sports. You usually need a good strategy - but you also need to be able to play well. Which comes with training and putting in time.

Putting in time should reward you - otherwise what is even the point in playing? In addition to that putting in more time then others is a good "comeback"/"catch-up" mechanic in Illyriad.

For me the way to win at a strategy game sould be mentaly plan akording to the knowledge and your understanding... And then out in time and click to execute it ... The problem comes when there is an unlimited benifite regarding the time click koney  you put in so it  make minimaise the mental aspect .
I have not problem to click time or money 
But here is the equation if time/money/ click = 00 then the mental strategy goes to zero 

Also when i play a strategy game i think it more like chest and less like sports

I have a few issues with the pure more clicks equals more effort and thus more reward.  Your magic score, quest score, attack score, and underworld unleashed rank score can all be who clicks more.  

I like effort in a game but I don't like a mindless clicking game.

Allow me to throw the cat amongst the pigeons here, why not allow multi-accounts but have them 'linked' to an overall ID? 

Effectively eliminates the 'information' aspect, allows people to experiment with different playstyles, join different friendly alliances etc. Devs should then enforce anything outside of this. 

My 2 cents.

You can legally have 2 accounts now or are you saying remove the limit entirely.

Remove the limit entirely, just have them linked so people can see who they are. No-one can effectively run 10x serious accounts, as has already been discussed. People will create terraformers mostly.

you might not be able to run 10x serious accounts, but people sure as hell could get 100 accounts to 4-8 towns and have them sit all over the map as gold farms, look over BL and you will see this in action
