is it possible to make a new account without buying another game?

i heard the other day that if you got a certain rank, you wouldbe able to create home cities at a new certain level.  for example, that if you were captain(i think) all your home cities would be lvl 100 when you create a new one.  is this true?

thanx

As for the first one, no. Thats what the pesky Product Key is for, to ensure software isnt passed around and thus losing the company profit. Its called copy protection.

And secondly, yeah. Once a home city reaches a certain level, all others will start at that level. But its nothing to do with rank. U could be a level 0 conscript with 100 losses and get Lv 80 home cities off the bat.

For homecities, basically when you create a new one, it will take the level of your highest homecity and the new one will be that level rounded down to the nearest 10. For examply, if I raise my Spain to level 75, when I create a new homecity, it will be level 70, even if the new home city is a different civ. I'm pretty sure if your highest civ is a European civ and you create a new Asian civ, it will take the level of your highest Asian civ instead of your highest European civ, even though your highest Asian civ might be a lower level than your highest European civ.

the Euro/native cities are counted seperated from the asian, for now, i think it'll change soon...
 

asian civ hcs should work like all the rest as far as new lvls go. then i would actually play with them.

Looks like the other users answered your questions. :)

finnaly a thread that got the answer before somebody spams...

BTW, Paragon, do you know if asian HCs will also start getting high levels as the others? or will i need to level them up too?

I'm curious about that as well, cause I might be getting TAD sometime

This is unrelated but OMG Paragon's almost gotten his 10000th post!

it's just annoying to try Asian as i'd have to use a low level city, while i have lots of level 80 cities.

also, another idea(kinda radical, but good one) why aren't HC level completly removed from the game, it is, all HCs start at level 131 and all you need is to build your deck 

well it would be cool, but i think it would make the game a bit less interesting, because rite now we have to work to get our home cities, that way we would all simply have everything available

 LOL... Like it's hard to level an indian or japanese HC? they're CERTAIN to max exp in 30 min games, thx to sacred cows and XP shrines.

I levelled an indian HC to lv60 in no time, created a chinese and japanese HC and started playing with japanese. Now i have a lv82 japanese HC, a lv63 indian HC and a lv62 chinese HC. And level 60 is pretty much all you need to get all the cards you want, and a fully equipped deck.

My highest euro/native HC would force me to get lv100 HCs. And i'd rather not have em that high cause if i made a lot of lv100 towns my total exp would skyrocket and peeps would complain even more about me not being a medium player or newb (i'm 2nd lieut in treaty, private in sup since i've only played 2 sup games so far in TAD)
