What happens if I log in from a second computer while the game is already running on another?

Fairly straightforward question, I suppose. Will it show me the same gameplay? Will it good the progress on my other computer? WILL IT ALLOW ME TO DO TWO THINGS AT ONCE

...inquiring minds, people.

Same what happen in Cotli. Your 1st running game will stop with a notification that another computer linked into the game. Also, this game only is available on steam, how do you want to connect with same steam accounts twice? ;)

I've logged in to the same Steam account on 2 computers simultaneously lots of times before. I'm posting this from Steam mobile while I the first computer runs, if that's anything noteworthy.

...but will pick up in the same place?

highlighted the "issue" why youre able to launch the game twice. from mobile you cant launch any steamgame.

used mobile back in the days often for comfortable (voice)chat so i know you can use desktop and mobile at the same time. but via mobile you cant launch games, so its a different story. using steam online (!!) you cant launch any game twice from same steam account....would be to easy for "account sharing" ;)

Yeah, that's how I read it.

Not that I was intending to cheat, but I *was* curious.

It would be very bad game design if a server wouldn´t recognize if an account is logged in multiple times ;)

Idle Champs acts the same way as Codenames older idle game Crusaders....it refuses the other session if you log in from another device.

While AHK is is a powerful macro-tool i see a bigger threat in another common tool. To bad Dev seem to fix account wich obvious broke their game be manipulating gameparameters.

Cheaters are just cheating on themselves, the game lose all interest when you use those cheats as there isn't even the smallest challenge left.

But with what Z said, I checked and found programs that give you:

Infinite Health
Super Attack Speed
Change Gold
One Hit Kills

You are right: it does not matter what others do in the game.

But for whatever reason, it makes it feel a bit pointless wasting time trying to push through difficult adventures using different character combinations and formations and potions when you can just get a thumbs up from the Devs by enabling super speed, infinite health, one hit kills, and massive gold boosts. That is just my 2 coppers; your mileage may vary.

What's the point of playing an Idle game if you're going to use cheats like that though?

Auto-clickers I understand, scripting to automate the game - I understand.

But cheats like that? I don't understand it.

In saying that, I don't mind what people do in the game or what they find fun - I'll still play it, enjoy it and continue to support by playing how I enjoy it.
