    @Silier should we add a city phase requirement or is that implied?

    I think they are correct. This looks buggy. Reforms should lock only units trained on the ship. From reasoning of the technology units in the dock should be locked only by city phase. So or technology was not updated or some update used wrong template.

     

    Just to track:
    Added to docks here without clear reasoning, previously only at ships:

    I am not trying to hide anything all I want is a new nickname! Yekaterina is not even my real name nor did I invent the name myself, and I've had enough of it!

    I didn't say you do. :) I was reacting to the statement I quoted.

    Maybe we can disallow changing your nickname to already taken options. If someone choses to be Kate then there can't be a second Kate. But Kate- is allowed and u can see that it's not the same person (otherwise why add a - after your name)

    You missed my point. A->X means A is available so B->A is valid from system point, unless obsolent database will be kept with all previous names.

    Someone just turning up with a different name, then talks politely and is honest about their skills

    If one is honest with skill while balancing teams and has well-known account, why to hide it in a first place. After some time players will notice player on certain account is good unless they don't play to their best skills on purpose but then they are not honest about their skill in the first place.

    No matter who I am in real life, it doesn't matter in the 0ad lobby

    It doesn't. No one knows it even with one account.

    Frankly, I don't understand why this game bans people for creating another account

    If someone's account is banned for breaking TOS, by this rule all their access is restricted. But one can't trust anyone because people lie, when they can.

    • The TG host asks them for rating or maybe previous name. If they are honest about skill level and didn't mess up balance then fine, let them play. It doesn't matter whether their real identity is hamdich or kate or feldfeld (all 3 could be the same person ;) ), as long as they bring fun to your TG, we are all chill. 
    • If the player lies about rating then trolls or smurfs with malicious intent of messing up TGs, then we can report them to User1 and give them an IP ban

    If there is one account per person, this is not needed because good players would be recognised automatically. Or by gained rating or just by their name.

     

    So let's say one wants to play on lower level and will play the way the balancing will not be broken even if one can play better. Are 2 accounts per person enough? Supposing one keeps their playstyle on lower level one would not be discovered as smurfer so there is no need to have more than 2 accounts for that purpose.

    If one can't do it they will create more and more accounts because others notice they are good player?

    Changing your 0ad username is like changing your appearance, which means nothing to everyone else. Do you really care about the DNA of the dude behind the screen?

    If you change your appearance people still recognise you when they meat you or talk with you, unless you do the drastic change and change also your voice and name.

    In lobby, username is everything others have to recognise you as a player. No one cares who sits there irl.

    Yes, changing username could be an option that for now is not possible like changing the password. Lets suppose it is allowed to change the username. Lets imagine player A changes username to Y and some malicious user B changes username to A and tries to destroy reputation of that player. That's currently not possible unless someone knows password of the player A. So here is example why changing username can be dangerous feature.
