Syncing/Restoring your Game: Tutorial

[DeathStriker]

I have good news i got my empire base back.

Tem - That is great!

It is my hope that I helped in some small way. Take a lesson from this and make sure your Account is Synced / Backed-Up and that you keep in a safe place your Player ID.

What did others say to support that caused them to restore your account (besides presenting a screenshot of PlayerID)?

Secondly @RebelYell if reverted to old apk file would the 2016 work around account restoration work?

Urge all players to backup manually.

Years ago, I used to play multiple bases on the same iOS device, changing bases every day simply by changing my Game Center login. I stopped doing that after I abandoned my Imp bases (again, several years ago). I have decided to start sharing one device with two bases again, but something has changed. When I log into a second Game Center, I don’t get the past screen for choosing to upload the current base or download the other one. Nothing changes - I still see the original base, even though I’m on the alternate Game Center account. I have not synced to FB (I never was comfortable with the setup and don’t have an account).

Is there a new procedure for switching bases using iOS? I’ve searched, but find nothing new. Thanks in advance!

Dolphin75 - WARNING!! Trying to use Multiple Accounts on a Single Mobile Game Device (iOS / Android) might result in your Base(s) being LOST Permanently! (progress could become lost, corrupt, or overwritten)

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: You only have 1 Account per Mobile Game Device linked to Facebook or Other Method as is instructed by this Official Help.

YOU CAN use Multiple Accounts on a Windows or Mac PC but I am not experienced / familiar with that process.

Is there a way of un-syncing to one Facebook accounts and syncing to a different Facebook account? I got an account from a friend and it is still synced to his account, I would like to un-sync his FB account and sync my account to the base.

Danielma94 - The "normal procedure" is for the "giver" to sync account to a "dummy" FB Account linked to a "dummy" e-mail address (if not already) - and - then provide the "dummy" e-mail address / password to the "receiver" when the SWC Account is given to the receiver.

IF THIS WAS NOT DONE... You need to contact the "giver" and request they do that...

Most have at least one account linked to their "personal" FB Account using a "personal" e-mail address and one could see the "giver" not wanting to give away that info, hence the use of the "dummy" FB Account / E-Mail Address / Password.

Hope this helps...

DeathStriker I am wondering how you unlink/unsync the FB account so that you can link it to the dummy account. I heard that unsyncing/unlinking is a bit tricky and requires several steps. I was wondering where I can find this information.
