I know there was a similar post on this in the past, but don't remember where that went and wanted to revive it.
Every account gets the ability to create 2 kingdoms - a main one and an extra one. The main one is identical to what we have now, but the extra one has some restrictions put on it to make exploiting a multi impossible:
- Can’t attack each other
- Cannot attack or cast spells on any kingdom that has attacked or been attacked by the main kingdom in the past 48 hours
- Loses access to participate in the marketplace
- Cannot send or receive aid from any kingdom
- Cannot cast or receive spells to/from the main kingdom
- Cannot race swap
This would help to address the low player base and put a larger diversity of races being played, potentially eliminating all of the race swaps that have been happening. People will be more willing to join a game if they see a larger number of people playing. I know everyone has strong thoughts on "multis", but this would only be a net positive to the game because the biggest issue is lack of players. Even if it added 50 extra active kingdoms to the current player base, that would make a huge difference.
If there's any downsides or exploits, I would love to hear them (not just "no multis", because that's not what this is).
