Hi Pinnacle
Thanks for the answer ! Yes that happened to me quite often: somebody made 30k within last 30 mins, which I think is really impossible.
For me the only reason to win megalopolis league is platinum keys, so from this season I decided to stay In the league as long and to to enough tasks to be in the first 50. So after 10 weeks I'll have my 250 platinum keys and I'm done 🙂 Everything else is too much stress and simcash, I have to spend to complete tasks like 3xTokio deliveries.
Have a great day!
PS: we are playing against a team, where only 4 people out of 23 are playing. Frustrating !

Hi ttony1973,
I really hate to hear that, this is suppose to be relaxing and fun and not stressful and frustrating. The war games have brought in an element of players that quite frankly are in the process of destroying the game. Before the advent of the mayor’s clubs all you had to be concerned with were feeder cities and the consortium - it was a challenge but you knew every week you had an outside shot. Today, not so much if you want to maintain your integrity. There is an element of the game you enjoy, focus on that if you can. For me, it’s the sharing and the fellowship with the wonderful folks in our club, trying to honor the memory of our late President by keeping her dream alive, learning and sharing with the great folks in the forum, and with the stubborn resolution that economics will force this game to be cleaned up. Best of luck to you my friend on any decision you make.
Hi lelik19900,
As frustrating as it is for you guys it’s probably more frustrating for them. I don’t know how far in the battle you are but be cautious, you may have only seen the first wave...time zones can be tricky especially when competing with global teams. Good luck.
Another war, another cheater...our current opponent used 19 energy in the first fifteen minutes. We reported them and EA will do nothing like they have the last three times now. What other options do we as honest players have?
So far our only option is to deliberately lose enough wars to get back to an area that isn't filled with cheaters. And then that's not fair to those lower rank clubs.
Hi tttony1973,
If you get a chance check out the thread unjustly sent to cheater server (it’s 8 or 10 down) - this information tells me EA is taking this topic seriously. I honestly believe economic factors will dictate this issue be addressed. Keep reporting the cheaters they will meet their demise in due time.Hang in there.
Thanks for the kind words. Our team is in protest this round...we aren't fighting them. This limits the cards the cheats can get....no one will earn more than 4k. Hurts us a little too, but I feel better knowing they are just as frustrated with US right now!
EA is doing VERY LITTLE to address the problem. I see a team that was reported three weeks ago still in the top 100. What really needs to be done is to turn off wars until they can get their hands around the problem.
In any case...they'll get the message when long time players start a mass exodus.
- Hi tttony1973
Was it the whole club, using 19 energy or only one player? I am wondering, if the club is aware of a player, who is doing that, if he/she is the only one?
And another question is, why doesn't EA ban those people? I personally don't want to buy war cards any more, if I know, that I'm going to play against cheater in any way, as soon as i reach top-100. 😏
PS: is it possible to see a list of a cheater teams? I know it's not alllowed to publish names, but maybe it's public somewhere? (Maybe that's why one of a top-10 Clubs is changing the name every 2 weeks?) It was one player...the rest of the club used the same Magnetism attack... as do all cheater clubs.
- Hi tttony1973
We use magnetism almost always for the first attack as it brings the most points for the start energy 👿, and it doesn't mean that we cheat. I am sure that many clubs do the same, but it doesn't mean, that they all cheat. Or do you mean this club was using it all the time? When 23 club members hit you for hours on end with nothing but Magnetism you can assume something is fishy. And when they attack you using more energy than is possible to have at the outset of a war you KNOW they are cheating. It's not possible to have 19 energy for one person at the beginning of a war.
Yes, it's a great attack...can you sustain an entire war with it? I know I can't. Can your entire club?
My personal take is EA is overwhelmed with the amount of cheating taking place from the simplest feeder cities to program hacks and don’t have sufficient resources in place yet to deal with it. They also have to deal with business and legal considerations when an accusation is made and have to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the merits (there are folks that scream cheating if they lose straight up) and once it is determined sufficient cause exists then they have to sort out the guilty from the innocent, I imagine it’s tedious and time consuming.
This game offers a healthy revenue stream with advertising, in game purchases and market penetration and they will take appropriate measures to protect that revenue stream. I really believe it’s only a matter of time...and it will be sooner than later.
- @tttony1973
Of course not! We use it only for the first attack and I actually don't allow using magnetism to members, who have it below level 3. But as I wrote before (perhaps in a different topic), we still play against absolute beginners, so i prefer to collect the hydrants and save them for the strong clubs, when (if) we ever reach 1900. Well, do yourself a favor and stay out of the top 100. It's riddled with problems!
- It's a very long way to go ... Maybe when we'll be there , there will be no cheaters any more 🙂 Let me be optimistic!
PS: If anybody is looking for a German speaking friendly active club - pm me 🙂

Couldn't agree more with Tony.
Two wars ago, we fought an opponent with full 25 members and every member was active and for the entire 36 hours EVERY member fired 3x magnets and 1x movie monster. Might have been about 5% of the time that a disaster other than these two were used. They scored about 400,000 points on us. This is fine if they were using realistic resources, but to have had over 60 hydrants EACH means none of them were supplying each other with hydrants and I very much doubt that ALL 25 of them all saved up just for a battle with little ol' us.
I play this game non-stop. I deliver war items like mad. And by not firing any hydrant disasters for two entire wars, I've built up 21 hydrants. I can fire magnets 10.5x next war. Yet opponents fire 30x+ magnets at us, and not just a single player, not just a handful of players, but 100% of the full 25-member club!!
There is absolutely a problem. Too bad, because magnets are an excellent disaster. Too excellent, evidently. The cheaters have orgasm'd on them in the extreme...
But yet you use Feeder cities yourself. Practice what you preach
- Looks Legitimate to me. I believe is best you join a club that is more skilled in WAR.
Just finished a war against cheats. Complained to EA but nothing they are sitting in 29th place I do not think EA can do anything the whole thing seems pointless to me.
Hi joeleynon,
Give it a couple of weeks and see if they’re still there. I suspect EA will investigate to determine if the accusation has merit and will take appropriate action once confirmed, unfortunately the process takes time. Please let us know if they keep hanging around or disappear from the Top 100. Take care.
The team we think cheated used Magnetism throughout. Around 186 attacks requiring 372 hydrants. Some of them also used 7-8 energy at start of war when we all start at 6. No way they didn’t cheat.
- Exactly
- We've barely started in a war against a team right now that has all ready used over 200 hydrants for magnetism alone. They'd probably use many more but we pretty much gave up. Pretty tough to screen cap each war log and report.
All the cheating in a game that use to be fun has created a downward spiral of honest players. - Sorry, meant 300 hydrants. 147 magnetism attacks.
- Well....I see the war supply dupping still goes on after the big war update. Half way through war and the other team has used over 240 hydrants just on magnetism alone.
A honest team has no place in this game. Update was pretty worthless honestly. None of the major issues were addressed. We're a top 50 team about to lose to another team because they stopped fighting with the slightest of leads at 36k. Mind you, we regularly score 300k+. I get that it's a strategy, but it is no fun and makes everyone lose interest.
Our chub just finished losing a war to a team half our size who used nothing but magnetism the entire war. THEN one of their members joined our team to try to recruit our two top players to their team with the promise of ENDLESS magnetism attacks. Only one way to do that and it’s by cheats because you can’t buy enough to sustain an entire war for an entire team.
Sag mal den Namen von deinem Club, bin lvl 81
I know we are playing against cheaters when there are 10 players on their team and only one player is participating and within 20 min their team is winning with 100k points and only have two of our team members in a shield. Yes they use shield busters and magnetism that are maxed out in points but 20 min into the game with one player is impossible to have 100k points. I haven’t paid any money to the game since. And I won’t until they fix the issue!
