Hey, I am playing on Europe 2 and recently noticed a guy that has a lot of alternate accounts and taking over parishes, including mine. He is in a faction with all his alts and they also have the same shield, the main account, ** has some vassals, also his alts. Firefly, please do something about him.
Here are some pictures of his faction and 2 of his vassals:

He can be found around Moldova, next to Romania.

You may want to contact support at https://support.strongholdkingdoms.com/

The forums are no place to report cheaters or to ask FireFly that action be taken against them.

but are the forums a good place to complain about the rewards system players get to use alts? which is probably why said player has a bunch. Invite yourself, buy crowns on the alt=get the kickbacks on your main account, and premium on both to interact/help between accounts.

This system is firefly blatantly encouraging alting and its a big problem.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unlike my fellow moderator beater, I believe that if you got proof of people cheating and that firefly isn't doing anything about it, those proof should be made public so we all know who the cheaters are. But then you will need real proof like the person admitting it and stuff like that.

firefly, please stop banning me just because other players think i have an alt account.

i STARTED playing europe 1 314 days ago, as clasher2. when h8 disbanded i played for maybe 1 week longer before i to left. id say 12-17-2014 i resumed playing in europe 1. since i left as a prince rank i hand much honor an gold stockpiled. i then began messaging my friends who are now in HOUSE 19. they said they need interdiction so i begin supplying them with monks. about an hour later i try to RESUME playing to find i have been ban for 24 hours for violating game rules. i ask firefly through many tickets which rule i broke because i do not have multi accounts. they dont answer and when they do they send me a link to the game rules. ok so when my ban lifts i dont send id to any of my friends and what do you know im not breaking any rules well today 12-24-2014 i join my friends in house 19 an one of my friends gives me a village, so i launch my troops and 7 monks for interdiction on that village. shortly after my monks land on the village i receive a message from BARBAROSSA a house 3 player, enemys to h19. saying ive been reported. i respond reported for what. evern though im pretty sure he thinks im an alt account.

so i write this to say firefly please check into the players who are wrongfuly ban for playing a game by the rules. just because a player reports someone doesnt ALWAYS mean they are cheating .


THANK you

I am very glad firefly is doing something about the cheating in the game. They don't tell you which rule you broke so that you can't circumvent or hide the cheat method next time.

I would rather prefer they swing the ban hammer indiscriminatly to cause a bit of fear to people who are even considering cheating. There are so many cheaters out there, this is the only way to counter it now. Any sign of cheating however remote, get that ban hammer swinging. Don't care if innocent get hit with it. It's only a very small number. The amount of cheating that is going on far outweight the minority who are wrongly banned. Most of the time they are not innocent, they were just unaware and that is no excuse.

Now stop whining on here, obviously you are cheating. I can tell what it is as well.
There is a small chance you weren't aware but that's no excuse.
I am not going to mention what it is you did because you will just complain and whine about it and think it is unfair. Besides it's either or. It's hard to pinpoint which one exactly. Your actions and the actions of firefly point to the fact that you either broke one of the two rules or both.

It's more unfair that people cheat so much and people like you complain about small stuff like this and makes them use the ban hammer less when they really need to hit the cheaters hard and that may include people who are not aware of themselves cheating. In this case, it's more the prevention and consequence than your intention.

i do not an have not cheated in any way an thats what im saying, firefly shouldnt ban every player reported for cheating because in that way that can be cheating, lets say were at war you report me for hacking i get 24 hour ban then what happens to my village once id ends more then likely it will be razed or captured by the time i am aloud back on all because a player decided he wanted to remove me quickily.

now what makes this fare that an incicent player get ban just so another player can remove them before firefly sees that they didnt cheat or do anything wrong. i got ban just because i was in a house with players that may have cheated. so what makes this right.

i agree its a shame there is so much cheating going on in this game by firefly needs to handle reports better. an not ban every single player reported. they have ways to tell if your hacking or cheating an if it does take 24 hours why not give the person thats ban a 24 peacetime. because if they are cheating they wont be back anyways an if they wasnt they wont return to a reset screen. thats what im saying
