Should the Strategus Viewer be allowed?

Kinngrimm, just wait for official account sharing implemented in game. I think, that we should use only official tools, to avoid any unnecessary discussion and for equal opportunities.

what do you think this project is all about ^^

official account sharing

You are being sarcastic right?

It's least effort for the devs to let this stuff be. Any restrictions mean they have to be actually enforced and forbidding this stuff means coding in encryption - which probably isn't that much effort though.

Apart from the possibility to write a bot the current access to Strategus data and actions is relatively limited and really, at most people can write things that should probably be in in the first place. I'm all for shared line of sight inside faction at least - possibly even with ability to share your faction's FoV to other factions.

Well as strategus datas are drew on client side there is not really any way to forbid people from reading/using it.

They would need to recode completely strategus to make tools like that just "hard" to make ...

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

looks like no is the popular answer

[Haboe]

60 ppl voted no
59 voted yes....

This topic, and in particular its poll, says little...

Its 50/50 on yes/no ratio, i think the only sensible thing to do now is to stick with the word of the devs. Which is: Yes for now, and we can stop it anytime we want.

It is over.

No, not at all, and things like this never should. 45 (36.9%)

No, it was used for personal gain and the public wasn't made aware of it, even though it is now open it should be closed due to the "abuse". Other things which are announced and released
to all/not purely your own clan/alliance should however be 15 (12.3%)

Yes, however from now on these kind of things should only be allowed with an announcement at development start and with betatesters from various different groups. 31 (25.4%)

Yes, and you should be allowed to keep it for yourself, you made it, your choice. 31 (25.4%)

Devs I hope you'll make some form of rules based on the results.
