Just dumping this alpha release of my little tool
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mYd32zYcomjd4FnBkGEUTK7jSufnbHmb/view?usp=sharing
its a simple tool that can take a backup of your current POL accounts SETUP and save it in a profile ( up to 4) that you can restore again later.
This way you can easily have up to 16 accounts registered
Download it if you want to
feedback is welcome
Quick Guide:
- set up you 4 accounts in POL, and close POL
- Open Multipol and hit Save Profile 1
- Open up POL against and notice its empty
- set up 4 new accounts and close pol
- Open MultiPOL and hit save profile 2
Now you have saved 2 profiles with 4 accounts each
To start the game
- open MultiPOL
- hit Load profile 1
- load POL and log in to your first 4 characters
- hit load profile 2
- load pol and log in to you other 4 accounts
I am working on removing some of the click steps. buts its gonna take a bit of work.
its pretty fast after you have used it a couple of times

New version now autodetects version of PlayOnline
Also at start will asked for location of the game/windows and autolaunch it when loading a profile.

Moved a copy of the quickguide to the OP
it appears the difference between save & load was confusing some people.
Next version will have a security check to prevent people from loading a non existing profile (empty).

A new Beta version has been created
- Added a 5th backup slots. for 2 reasons
1: to avoid user thinking they are related to an individual account in side pol
2: this keeps the total accounts up to 20 enough for a full alliance
- Added a delete option to delete a specific backup. not sure why it would be needed since you can just backup over it but now its added to help people clean up things
- renamed Save/Load to Backup Restore. to hopefully better illustrate the functions, that they backup CURRENT pol information and RESTORE it later when needed
- New Pol menu has been added (unfinished) that can reset pol location or make its size exactly twice or four times as big for high res monitors. this is specifically nice for people with an slight "OCDness' about perfect pixel ratio
- It no longer ask you to locate the game file at each start and thereby no longer start the game after clicking restore (formerly load). I found the behavior annoying and will fix/tweak it later
