Interesting discussion, I did wonder how some of these guys had either the time or cash to put together some of the cities and war chests required. Increasingly a war consists of getting a few shots on, maybe knocking one or two opponents down then being smashed at a rate you have to spend so much time recovering that you spend most of the campaign doing two full rebuilds and have no time for anything else. Always assumed that they effectively cheated by spending a lot of money on extras but in reality those who chose to do that for whatever reason and pay should be protected from actual cyber cheats.
Increasingly also rather than a couple of basic items to repair a building now it's advanced items you have to search long and hard for or have three levels of waiting whilst the raw materials get through the process which isn't practical in the time.
We get they want you on it all day and watching adds and paying but even then progress would probably be slow, and if competitors are doing dodgy hack unprotected then it's basically fraudulent to take people's money for the rest of it.
