So restart with the 75% of your last country's items, play till turn 15, save turns, and start hitting again. If you work it right, you may have all your stuff back by the time you start hitting.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

You are missing the point. I shouldn't of died to start with.

And there are like 3 different reasons one of these shuts pop up now. What the fluff happened to it not showing up when you are being hit. That used to be a thing. It isn't anymore. Pretty much, if you aren't sitting at your computer you have no chance because of all the fluffin red tape you have to go through to log in. It is stupid. The game is getting more and more broken.

wonder if the true purpose of Captcha is to keep all the crazy drunks from playing. how many dang bots are really interested in playing this game?

That was changed 2 sets ago or so? Because people were starting to use scripts to wall, allowing their buddies on IRC to login remotely. Because the captcha was ignored when you were hitting, the bots/scripts never encountered the captcha.

Sadly, when you're being hit is when people are *most likely* to use bots/scripts, and thus when captcha is required the most.

I will try to fix it up so it's in a better position on mobile &etc; as for not loading, it comes from google, so usually it loads fairly quickly.... depends on google uptime&speed i suppose

Finally did the signature thing.

if they werent using it for an in-game advantage, why did they need that information and what are they doing with it? a MUCH bigger problem if that is actually true.

I for one will not be signing up for any extended pay-to-play service of this game.

@Mdevol - I don't understand why the authorities were not involved here?? If this was a business it would no question. Because this is a game we should let data theft slide? The FBI loves this kind of thing. I want to know the PERSONAL names of the people who were involved in the hacking since they probably know mine... We could order a subpoena on the game owners and domain name other of http://www.earthempires.com to be foreced to provide the information either way..

think the FBI might be a bit busy running errands for the Secret Service at the moment. plus it might be a CIA or NSA responsibility if the server is in Canada, err, wait, probably should be handled by Rocky, Bullwinkle and the Mounties.

I don't need to post any proof for you and I will not be naming names. Unlike others here I'm not going to incite a public witch hunt. If you want more info refer to admins and they can enlighten you at their own discretion.

The script was given to the admins very quickly by me and they responded very quickly, as such the script was likely never used.

Otherwise if you want more info you'd have to join SoF as it has been posted there ;)

Catpcha Displayed because you have never answered a captcha with this device! Device ID: 204xx <- its the same laptop as device "189xx"
