Hello Commanders,
since we have introduced a few changes affecting teamplay with Patch 19.1 and hotfix 19.1.1 I have been asked to summarize them again in one place. Therefore, here is a recollection:
Limitations to Substitution
To combat the use of the substitution system for the herding of multiple accounts by the same player, we see it necessary to impose some restrictions in the future.
From now on, a player account can no longer be substituted on a world for more than half of its total lifetime on said world.
Further, substitutions access can only be granted to others as early as 5 days after first joining a world.
Lastly, only a period of 30 consecutive days can be substituted at a time, after that the original owner needs to re-issue a substitution request.
Changes to Loot distribution
As another measure against the boosting of accounts with multi-accounts we also are going to change the distribution of loot rewards for the destruction of bases.
The resources looted by the player destroying the Construction Yards will now be based on how much the player striking the killing blow has also contributed to the destruction of the defense units. The difference in resources between that amount of loot, that the last player receives and the total value of the base is lost.
A trigger threshold has been included in the loot distribution. If the player that destroys the Construction Yard has contributed 80% or more to the defense damage done to the base, they will receive the full amount of loot in the base now.
Loot distribution rules only apply to the final attack on the base, any previous attack now receives the regular shares again.
