That won't work. Anyone can make another Facebook/google account in 5 minutes. I'm sure some people will do it, but unless there was some sort of prize involved I doubt most people will go through the effort of having 2 players just to win a game.

Trust me, it happens.

I appreciate that people can create second Facebook/Google+ accounts but as I said in my post it is rare that people would go to that length.

The bigger problem is it does prove unpopular as some, including me, don't like the social media account linking but it is one way of helping solve the issue.

I just finished this game and If I go back and watch all of the moves that were made in the game i see 2 players who are doing more then working together... Player A is taking over bases just to pass them off to player B without defending them at all and in some cases turning off shields, player A making mines just to hand them over to player B, player A putting up walls of troops to prevent player B from being attacked on some sides. I think this could be possible dual boxing, is that allowed? It breaks the game completely and takes all of the fun out of it.

What about a matchmaking system where it pick x number of players from a lobby / wait list. We could have the 'custom' games as well for people that want to play with friends or multibox

That would work great! However I'm just asking if this type of play is allowed so i know if I should report players doing it

Hi paradox. (I'm in a game with you atm.)

Helping others is allowed but multiboxing is not.

What you described could certainly be multiboxing. I'd recommend emailing the devs, and they'll look into it.

I've been looking for their e-mail. Can you tell me what it is?

Just click the "email us" tab inside of your game.

It would great if there was a filter built into the game to prevent this. From the players point of view it sucks and is a pain in the ass to have to turn in players we think are multiboxing.
