Well it is like this....There are like 20 players playing who work for the game developer. They get free crowns. And at the moment there are like 2 or 3 paying players. The rest are new players.
I have 3 villages of about 500 points in my province with special delivery. :( It is possible they only play this server to help someone else to grow fast. It is within the possibilities. So possibly it is not cheating. But still it is more logical those are multi acounbts. :(
