Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Above all, the Thardferr Code of Conduct requires players to play fair, respect other players and staff, and refrain from cheating, exploiting bugs, harassing others, or engaging in behavior that harms the game or its community.

1. One Kingdom per Player

Each player may only have one active kingdom at a time. You may delete your kingdom and start over, but you may not maintain multiple active accounts.
Note: Multiple players in a single household may share the same computer. We have methods for distinguishing separate users.

Same Household Policy
Players in the same household are welcome to play, but must strictly avoid behavior that resembles multi-account cheating. This includes:

  • No regular resource transfers between household players (via Send Aid or Market or any other mechanism).
    • Exception: Occasional small gifts (e.g., up to 10k gold, 10k food, 1k wood/iron) are permitted.
  • No spells cast on each other.

These actions are heavily monitored and are typical indicators of “multi” abuse. Players violating this policy may be flagged or banned without further warning.

Functional Multi Abuse Policy
Accounts must be played with the genuine intent of participation, not solely to benefit another player. Examples of “functional multi” abuse include (but are not limited to):

  • Creating or using an account that only casts spells, generates resources, or sends aid to another kingdom.
  • Logging in occasionally only to perform actions that benefit another player (such as sending resources or casting positive spells), without playing the game meaningfully.
  • Having friends or family create throwaway accounts to provide resources, aid, or tactical advantage.

These accounts are considered unauthorized support accounts and are subject to deletion and/or bans for all related parties. Every kingdom should stand on its own and contribute to the game – not exist just to prop up another.

2. Acceptable Names

Your kingdom and leader names must follow our policies for respectful and appropriate language. Names deemed offensive or disruptive will be changed or removed.

3. Forums and Messaging

The same behavioral rules apply across public and kingdom forums. Kingdom-specific data may be shared in your kingdom’s private forum, but public spam or abusive posts are not tolerated.

4. Passwords and Account Security

You are responsible for your own account. Do not share your password. Shared accounts, or “kingdom sitting,” where someone else manages your kingdom for you, is prohibited (email [email protected] for exceptions).

5. Valid Email Address

You must use a valid email address when registering. Accounts with unreachable emails may be deleted without warning.

6. Unauthorized Scripts

Do not use unauthorized external tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the game. Violations may lead to a permanent ban.

7. Cheating & Exploits

If you’re found exploiting bugs or using multiple accounts to gain an advantage, your account(s) and any related IPs may be banned.

To report bugs, email: [email protected].
