🛡️ Multi-Account Prevention & Fair Play

To maintain fairness, we have addressed building points gained by multi-account issue. Some buildings in certain nations have been adjusted accordingly, and we’ll continue enforcing these rules. These buildings would not have been built without those accounts so we need to act here in order to keep fairness of the game for all.

We have already downgraded the buildings as of this moment, list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jY3mfhjWWry_6Q9QNfEoAgT8wm53c2_CRP2EM6kFA2E/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you for your patience with this patch and your ongoing support as we implement updates and work on smoother payment solutions. If you encounter any issues, bugs, or have ideas for future updates, please reach out to us. Enjoy Eclesiar 1.1 and the exciting new possibilities it brings!
