@Master Blaster, I am not playing stupid, nor do you sound very smart when you go for ad hominem attacks.

Browser or not, makes no difference. All apps use IP addresses for HTTP(S) communication. VPN is how you access the network via any app, and Tor is a system of proxies which are usually used via Tor browser, but they don't have to be. And no, bots are not using the app. That's the whole point.

Further, the IP addresses that you listed are missing one component, but - ignoring that - 192.168.x.y are all class C private networks (256 of them, depending on the value of x). That's what the devices behind your router use internally, but not something that Plarium would see. They would see your router's public address, unless you are using a proxy, Tor network, VPN,... in which case they'd see the exit IP of that system (which you can change at will).

By "consolidating", you seem to mean "merging". If that's the case, I agree with @Tifa Lockhart: it would create enormous armies and it would still not solve the issue of bots.

I also don't think that "adapting" is a solution either. If someone can programmatically create any number of - obviously disposable - accounts, and command them as one, while you need months or years (or thousands of dollars) to rebuild, it becomes a no-fun money drain. That's not worth playing (IMO, of course).

I don't know what the solution to the problem of bots would be, nor what is Plarium doing about it. By the occasional complaints about bans, I'm guessing that they are not sitting ildly, but I am also yet to see anything tangible from them. It's been almost 6 months since I first reported a massive influx of bots, and those that I report are still here, hitting stuff on the maps, winning Brawls,...

  It really just comes down to goals and expectations, i.e. why do you play the game? Some people are competitive, some people are only here for the social aspect and could care less about competition.  Others are here to help their bh build their empires, yet others seek  only personal glory.  
The social only players don't care.   To you empire builders, your game is dead.  It died the day that RuAL and Co showed up.  There is no competitive scene in that regard due to the fact that most bh wars of any real scale are waged by proxy with prize bots,  whether automated or manual,  players are normally unwilling to risk the troops of their "mains" to defend against disposable accounts.  People seem to have forgotten that only a short time ago, the presidio map was a wasteland.  It only changed recently due to the new bastion levels and their insane requirements of holding a large number of presidios.   If your happiness is tied up with holding presidios, you will eventually be disappointed when the map is empty again.  Maybe I am in the minority, but I don't give a damn about presidios or automation or prize bots;  just play the game as it is and enjoy it for what it is.  Find and do whatever you can that is enjoyable in game, raid, kill, pillage, w/e and accept what is.  Plarium has had years and years to put a stop to all the prize botting, and it hasn't stopped.  Here's guessing it never will.

i agree with Johnny and the other decent players, non cirilic ones, lol

:))

can't attack him or scout him slav is back with new acc

see coordinance in picture below

Islands don't exist on the map until the owner builds an Observatory.

you are correct I have tested it my apologies. now I have a new task in life to see how big I can make the island without building an Observatory 

Probably quite a bit.

However, without Observatory, you cannot train troops because you cannot research them. No Observatory means no sketches and no map coordinates means no trading.

You can get some troops for free and via non-PvP tournaments (Exp, Upgrade, Prizes, even Brawls), but I imagine that it would be too slow progress to make it worth it if you're trying to built up hidden and then pop up as a strong heaven. I could be wrong, though. Never tried it.

Of course, you could buy millions of rubies and end up with significant force of ships that come with those packs plus buying some at global discounts, but that'd be quite pricey, and likely not worth it.

just going on every few hours I got to lev 18 but can't do any more than you see, the problem is I now have Armada and Dread units and the rum is emptied fast. 

I am now upgrading what i have

You cannot have Smugglers' without Observatory? That would help with rum, fairly cheaply.
