Setting the hacker issue aside for a moment, II would like to make a couple of suggestions to improve gameplay:
1) Give us the ability to private message players in our alliances. As a council member in El Cadre, we have a few rules members are expected to follow, and it would be most helpful to be able to speak privately with members to address violations, etc.
2) Allow alliance members to view each other's attack logs, and then get revenge on their behalf. Stronger players can retaliate when newer players lose a lot of resources. Alliances become stronger, wars get waged between alliances, and players spend money on improvements after seeing what their buddies can do in battle.
