This system automatically limits how many **resources** can be shared between players — whether by sending, trading, or raiding — so no one gains an unfair advantage. You don’t need to calculate anything manually. The limits are fully **automated** and adjust based on your in-game situation. * * * ### How the System Works The limits are influenced by: - The **relationship** between two players (connection type) - The **hourly production** of the sender - The **resource balance** between the players over the last 7 days Both **merchant transfers** and **raids** are affected. * * * ### Connection Types There are three connection types that define how strict the limits are:

Connection Type	Description	Restriction Level
Type 1	Players not connected through sitting, device, or IP.	Least restrictions
Type 2	Players who recently used the same IP or were sitters of each other.	Moderate restrictions
Type 3	Players currently in a sitter relationship or sharing a device.	Most restrictive

* * * ### How Limits Are Calculated **Hourly Production:** Includes total production of lumber, clay, iron, and crop (minus population consumption), plus the **average hourly raid income** from the past 7 days (if positive). **Resource Balance:** The system tracks all resources exchanged in the last 7 days, including: - Direct merchant sends - Marketplace trades and trade routes - Crop eaten by troops stationed in another player’s village (counted as if sent). * * * ### Sending Resources When sending resources, the system checks whether the new balance would exceed your limit: - If yes, an **error message** will appear explaining why. - Players can send **more** to unrelated players (Type 1) and **less** to sitters or shared connections (Type 2–3). - Sending to larger players (higher population) is more restricted. The **higher your own production**, the **higher your allowed sending capacity**. * * * ### Marketplace Offers - Affected by the same system as direct sending. - **Type 1 connections** (unrelated players) can trade freely, unless the trade history becomes heavily one-sided. * * * ### New and Small Players - Players **under 200 population** or **in beginner’s protection** can only **accept 1:1 offers**. - They cannot send resources directly or create trades that are unfair to themselves. - Once beginner’s protection ends, they may **return received resources**, but not send more than they got. * * * ### Artefacts and Wonder of the World (WW) - **Artefact villages** can be supplied freely **if at least 50% of the shipment is crop**. - Crop-only trade routes are allowed. - Once construction plans appear, the crop restriction is lifted. - **WW villages** can be supplied **without any limits** — including all trade routes. * * * ### Supplying Troops If you are supporting another player with troops: - You can send **extra resources** to help feed them, as long as the shipment contains **at least 50% crop**. - The system allows more additional supply between **unrelated players**, and the amount scales with the **troop upkeep**. * * * ### Raiding Limits - **Raiding unrelated players** has **no restrictions**. - Limits apply if: - The attacker and defender are in the **same confederacy**, or - They share a **Type 2** or **Type 3** connection. When limits apply: - The system treats it as if the **defender were sending resources** to the attacker. - If a **Type 3** connection recently sent resources to the defender, the attacker cannot steal any — and will see a message in the battle report explaining why. A same-IP message does not necessarily indicate a rule violation or account sharing. It can appear if the other player was your sitter within the last 14 days, was in the same alliance within the last 2 days, or if you use a VPN or mobile internet connection. VPN and mobile providers may reuse IPv4 addresses, so another player may have used the same address within the past 14 days. * * * ### Summary - You don’t need to calculate — the system manages limits automatically. - Limits vary based on relationship, production, and balance. - Artefact and WW villages are exceptions. - Crop-heavy deliveries help feed troops safely. - Raiding limits prevent indirect resource transfers.
