I will take my time explaining this so be patient as I update this post frequently
What is an alt?
Alt means Alternative Account or in otherwords, additional account (another city)
Before creating an alt you should make sure your main original city that you are currently working on is saved so that you do not get locked out of it. If you don't make sure your account is registered and bind your email to it, this could mean BIG trouble. If you don't do this than you will create an alt and not be able to access your city you originally made!!!
Step 1
Go to the Gear Icon on the rightside of the screen and than the Account Icon
Step 2
See the above picture, Where it says Account: Songbird, this is the Login Name (WARNING: YOUR NICKNAME IS NOT YOUR LOGIN NAME) so write this down somewhere for safe keeping so you can log back in after you log into your alt (Your alt will have a different name like Songbird2 for example. Next click Account Management so you can set-up a password and Bind your e-mail address to your account. It is always good to name your Login name something different from your real Game Name so people don't know your true account name like I have done above, my login name is Songbird but my game name is Brain Damage.
Step 3
Click on change password and create a new password, write it down in a safe place with your Login that you previously wrote down. Than go to Binding/Modify Mail so that you can sync your account with your email address in case you lose the password or it gets hacked than you can recover it.
Step 4
Go back to the Setting screen by clicking on the gear icon and Account Icon
On this screen click the Switch Account button as shown in the pic below....
On the Login Page click "Register" on the bottom left to make a new account which will be your alt..
Step 5
Name the Alt something easy to remember, like whatever your name is and the number 2
This is pretty much all the steps you need to create another account with another city, take advantage by making as many as you can. Each device is only allowed 3 accounts... There is a way around this however, you can use another phone of a friend or relative and make 3 more, or use a computer at a school and Download Bluestacks app player and make one on there... There's several way to have tons of cities, I currently have 60 myself.
Why have so many cities and why have an alt??
an alt can be beneficial in several ways here are a few:
1. When attacking a player who has many fortifications you can use your alt and send attacks at the player's wall destroying all fortifications, then you can login as your main account and attack them with no fortifications and take all their resources and hurt them badly.
2. You can grow your alt's resources then Login as your main account and attack yourself in order to get more resources and level up faster.
3. You can send more attacks at an enemy, the max amount of attacks you can send from 1 city is 8 if you use an Assault Array power up, on my accounts which are 60 I can send 60x8 = 480 so I can attack you 480 at once while you can only attack me 8 times...this is an epic advantage..
4. You can use an alt and name it something mysterious and apply to your enemy's alliance and spy on them without them knowing it is you..
5. You can take your wilds of your main account and then retake them with your main account daily, this is called refreshing, refreshing your wilds will keep their level the same, within 24 hours the wild will decrease if held but doing the refresh will keep it the same forever.
6. You can complete achievements by farming yourself with your own cities faster than you could if you just attacked someone else.
