You do know that if your friends/alliance don't divvy your cities up. Someone else will.
Those are some tasty cities you got there.

The application of population requirements to capturing as well as founding new cities sets Illyriad apart from most other browser-based games. It's a limiting factor which other games don't have when considering growth via conquest. The result is that rather than being the choicest of options, conquest is rarely ever an option. And when it is an option, one must balance the benefits of a fast start against the benefits of founding the next city precisely where you'd most like it and building it to your own specifications. After all, you only get a handful and then you're capped (again, unlike most other browser-based games).

In other games like this I've played, I've found it useful for a player (if a member of an alliance) to notify his alliance of his quitting. The alliance can then divide his cities for conquer so they remain in the alliance, but work goes into their acquisition. Besides that, it's just polite to give fellow members a heads up.

This would discourage big players to coming back to the game after a long absence. They could expect their resources to probably be gone but at the very least their cities might still be there.

As a new player, I will add my commits....I have to agree that giving a new player the account would effect the noob in learning the game. Sure everyone would love to have an established town (with all the resources and hard work finished) given to them, but at what cost? I enjoy taking the "real" time to learn the game which gives me a better understanding of the "whole picture" and more importantly to me....the pride in building something. Sure I have help in learning the game, FDU, and I received a shipment of supplies (THANKS again!) but if I build my town into am empire or have it turn to ruins it was by my doing.

Back when I was kicked from GOON I was considering quitting the game and was thinking about giving someone else my account. However I had planned to give it to an already established player who just didn't have an alt account yet. Like mentioned above, giving it to a new player could effect their learning the game, since a lot of it would have been done for them.

Wow!
No one but I shall ever be "The_Dude" or "El_Jeffe".
I have personal experience being on the wrong side of "account-shifting" were suddenly a new player (who is my sworn mortal enemy) is operating an account that I had previously established a peace treaty! Yikes. Talk about SNAFU....
Absent a public declaration on this forum, account-shifting is a deception. As a Trader, I abhor deception. Frauds in the marketplace (economic or social) are unethical to me.
Anyone considering leaving Illy and would like instructions on spiking an account should contact me in-game mail and I will advise on how to leave your cities to provide the least nutrition to the vultures as possible. No honorable person should ever suffer the indignities inflicted in Illy on the dead.

doesnt that create more agressive big players? 1) they have no idea how much time went into that city so they dont feel as much uhm how u say it( connected?) with it and wont be as carefull to keep it safe 2) they mostlikely will try to terrorize the smaller players instead of helping em
just my thaught tho
