Commanders, we have added different limits within the game trading and gifting systems that restrict the maximum amount of Resources that can be transferred between two allies. This means that a player, who has created several game accounts will be unable to use “feeder” accounts to supply any significant amount of resources to his or her primary playing account.
The same case with Reinforcements limits, which we've added in the latest version.
As we add more features and limitations to further discourage the use of alternate accounts, the relative advantage of this practice will continue to decline. Also, when it comes to adding new features or improvements requested by players, we always take into account the possibility to abuse this feature by multiple accounts. If we see that it can give an unfair advantage to players, who are creating and using alternate accounts, we may decline this suggestion or find some ways to minimize their profit and encourage players to play with their main accounts only.
We constantly track your feedback and analytics data and work on general improvements for such cases. Please note that it takes some time develop new algorythms.
The only thing of value to limit alts in the latest updates has been the consumption tech limits. This does help but but not solve the infantry alt problem. It just delays the time to make them overpowered.
The ability to reinforce players in other alliance has actually tilted the balance too far to one side. We now have the ability to attack as allies with several alliances but we are not able to defend in the same manor. Making it challenging to defend against stronger alliances.
I think the biggest problem in the game right now is how powerful a single player can become. Literally taking all your other paying customers out of the game. A players tech should never exceed that of an hq or bs. I think I speak for everyone when I say those assets should be superior to the defense of a base.
I suggest,
1. Limiting the amount of troops that can be revived from OPs per day
2. Increasing defense (or even introducing shields) for BS and HQ. Extend player defense tech to assets
3. Make reinforcements visible to recon units.
4. Multi alliance defense improvements such as reinforcements to players in other alliances.
5. Reporting on player contributions to assets.
Thank you for such a detailed feedback. Can you please specify each of these points? That would be very helpful.
1. Limiting the amount of troops that can be revived from OPs per day
If I run through ops from level 0-105 twice per day on offense (red) and (defense) green. The number of troops I've killed in ops is astronomical. I currently have the ability to go to hospital and revive all those troops using diamonds. I recommend limiting this to 5 or 10 million in power that can be revived per 24-hour (or even longer) period. The same way you limit the purchase of troops. The way it is now people with a lot of spending power can but an enormous army in one day.
2. Increasing defense (or even introducing shields) for BS and HQ. Extend player defense tech to assets
A strategy game need to have goals. In SI the goals are HQ levels, Achievements, and BlackSites. Teams work very hard and spend money to meet and attain these goals. But the game has reached a point where something that takes months to gain by many players. Can be captured by a single player in a flash. Players can increase their tech to inflict more damage to defense units in an hq or BS than they suffer themselves. This removes the strategic value of these assets altogether. We need to have better defense than an attacking player in the assets or allow the tech the defending players have to extend to the assets. So extremely strong players on defense can mitigate blows of the strong offensive players. An other option could be shields boosts etc for the assets themselves
3. Make reinforcements visible to recon units.
When choosing to attack a player and you have sent a recon squad the report does not show if another player has troops in the base. You will not know until you hit those units and you still won't know how many there are
4. Multi alliance defense improvements such as reinforcements to players in other alliances.
The ability to tell when an ally was attacked by putting a scout in their base was a nice way to be alert and help. This is gone now. But my point here is that it is difficult to defend against an attack by a strong group of alliances. Base defense is so high now that it is useless to attack bases trying to capture your assets. To counter this I'd suggest a feature where you could allow other alliances to reinforce your assets for a certain period. (Just a suggestion) There is no strategy if the tools aren't available to be played though.
5. Reporting on player contributions to assets.
It would be nice to get reports on garrisons of players in the assets as well as contributions on BS upgrades.
Hope this makes sense. You can ignore my suggestions as long as you don't ignore the problems I am pointing out. Anything that undermines the strategy in the game really discourages players
