Found a fun way to get rid of cheater-bases. AKA The Big Bulldoze

[S_How]

That is great to hear, first glimmer of hope in a while. I chuckle at Tim Trains statement about how there have been thousands of accounts banned. Despite this apparent action, cheating in the game feels worse than it ever has been, by a long shot. Until this point, I have never seen a game handle cheating with a softer touch than this one.

I will be very happy if all of these max IA bases are removed. It devalues things so much for normal players - there is no reason to purchase crowns when you see 25%+ of bases have hacked their way there. Every new piece of content you add, good or not, I get even more frustrated because those with illegitimate crowns and resources have it immediately and it puts everyone else that plays fairly at an even greater disadvantage.

When can we expect to see real action?

Thought this was about stuffing hacker bases' stomachs with medals to the point that they'll rupture and they get banned.

The post did go sideways .. lots of them do. I do like the way you describe things though.

Since I've started bulldozing four days ago I think I have pushed somewhere between five and ten cheater bases up one level. Not that many but it has proven to be quite lucrative, and more fun than I've had in months with this game. I don't think many people are doing the same, if any at all. But I'm still curious if you are. So if you do, put a fruittree in the easternmost position of your base and I promise not to attack you on my way up.

Lucrative means around 15-20 million in gold and food each and about 100.000 in oil in four days. On average I would say I attack 15-20 times per day. This may seem a lot, but when attacking cheater bases you often don't need more than 15-20 raiders for maximum gain. Also, when on my way up, I use a mixed army and mostly don't loose more than one or two cannons and/or tanks.
