Limit on buying & selling war supplies?
As of this morning, nobody in my club is able to buy or sell more than 1 war item per spot in the Trade Depot. Does anyone know if this is a bug or is it a change? It's very inconvenient.
Forum Discussion
After reading through this series of posts it is very clear what is taking place...a couple + years ago I contacted EA and asked this simple question - “Are feeder cities legal?” After 3 or 4 exchanges (obviously in conjunction with their legal department) I finally got an answer - “An individual may play multiple cities but they can not be used as a satellite or feeder city.” I had this reviewed by an appropriate professional who confirmed the response came from a legally recognized representative of the company and was a binding statement of fact. I have shared this previously and got called all kinds of names but that’s ok it’s simply a reflection of them as a person.
In answer to the rhetorical question from one of the posters “Are you a cheater”... actually yes, whether you know it or not. Don’t worry, I don’t think they’re after an individual, I believe this is an effort to address these multiple feeder clubs feeding there primary club. If by chance this makes it inconvenient to feed your primary city, all the better, levels the playing field.
@PinnacleValley do you seriously think that playing on two phones with two cities that develop legally in a similar way and play with others on the same terms is cheating?
how is it different from playing with a friend, brother, sister, girl with whom you would share a production?
In our club we always have the rule that 90% of production stays inside the club. one is lucky to make cement, another make cream, another has a lot of anvils on war, and another has wellingtons. This is healthy cooperation. And EA hinders us today, just like coronavirus does in the global economy.

Exactly.
Also, lets not forget that limiting war items to 1 in the trade depot does not stop cheats from sharing war items from hacked cities, it just makes it more time consuming.... they should focus on stopping the ability to hack for war items! It is not exactly a new issue........
@teppum I respectfully disagree, I believe you may have somewhat limited your focus...of course I understand the hacking issue it takes many different shapes and forms - one of which is raiding dead clubs and cities. I believe this is a specific effort to address the extensive feeder network that has been established by some clubs. You raise the point of legit feeder cities but that’s only an opinion (everyone else does it) but I bring documentation to the table which sadly trump’s opinion. I respect the game and the whole purpose of asking the question In the 1st place was a group of us considered building a network ourselves to combat the consortium but we didn’t want to cheat so we made the effort to make sure we were in line with the rules...didn’t want to get banned from a game we enjoyed and honestly a tainted win is no win.
@scx2km Yes, I do when the premise is to feed your primary city. <removed>. Honestly, I don’t care what you do...if you have the time to play multiple cities that’s great. If you have accepted the fact that you need an “unfair” advantage to compete, I’m good with that. But wouldn’t it be a better approach to focus your energy on helping others develop their cities or use your secondary cities to participate in other clubs developing relationships and helping others. For me it boils down to honor, integrity and respect for the game.
