(Battle) Remove own city shield when attacking neighbors

[DeletedUser107476]

Awaits the reply that GE is not PvP as no one has set up the defence in GE, it is done by the system. The truth is though, there is no such thing as PvP on this game as PvP requires both players to be on playing at the same time one controlling the attacking force and the other defending force. There is only PVE.

A means of solving this would be, if city shield is up, then you can't plunder. Fight their defense, but not plunder. That would solve issues connected to the tournament towers. Perhaps make it go both ways and the player with the shield, can attack others' defenses but can't plunder if they win.

Exploitable - you set shield up, go attack everyone, then as shield expires, you go plunder then set shield back.

To the first part of your statement, yes they used troops to defend. City Shield is not a strong defence it is invincibility.

Invincibility available for everyone.

To the second part of your statement. I would agree about GvG manipulation and this is something I would like to see further addressed. The releasing and retaking of sectors with easy win DA's is something that should not be allowed. Not sure where you get the concept of GE manipulation of towers as there are a maximum 64 fights for everyone.

I said it wrong. PvP isn't manipulated with GE, but the game is. Every aspect of the game where players can score points is manipulated. Even fights with neighbours.

Even this idea is trying to manipulate the game the way it suits topicstarter best. He probably has superior strength and doesn't like it that his neighbours can use a shield to defend, so that shield has to go. Not for 5 minutes if someone attacks, which would be a reasonable suggestion, but for 24 hrs. 5 minutes is hard to spot ofcourse and 24 hrs equals no shield.

Too bad this much effort isn't put into doing something that might actually benefit the world!
This is a game - Play it, Enjoy it.
But stop torturing yourselves if you don't like it!

Torture is best when you love the game the most.

Umm....you can do that now, there is no stopping that 'exploit', city shield lasts 24/48/72 hours, if someone wanted to 'game the system' this way, they could simply attack and plunder after the shield falls too and then immediately raise it, unless you want to put a week-long lock on plundering if you activate any city shield.

The word was directed to a certain proposal to 'fix' the situation with plunderers behind a city shield. Frankly I say this is normal, aka let them, several 'great fighters' here are downright annoyed at such behavior and try to fix it by administrative means.

This seems a reasonable balance - if you invest in an impermeable defence then you pay the penalty of not being able to attack during this period.

Modern leaders attack from the safety of bunkers or distance, and may never go near the battlefield.

It would seem that Alexander the Great who fought numerous battles "from the front" (and never died in battle) had a shield of invincibility ...
in sharp contrast to modern soldiers who are nowhere safe from snipers (or the like).

A 90% defense shield should be substituted for the "impregnable" defense shield.
Nobody should be immune from defeat (neither plunderers nor defenders).

Modern leaders attack from the safety of bunkers or distance, and may never go near the battlefield.

but their people get attacked

terrorism reaches every big nation (even the ones who think they are safe)

so no modern nation is really safe behind a city shield
the battlefield is coming to them (or at least near them)

I do not wish to see this implemented.

It's an strategy game. Putting a City Shield when attacking others is clever. Winning and minimising damage is what matters in times of war, above all other things :-)

It's not an honor's game or a fairness game. And even if it was, as someone has pointed, honor cannot be enforced, you have it or you don't. Let players decide how to play the game.

The person who put a City Shield paid for it with tavern silver or diamonds. Why would they pay for it if it was lifted on attacking another? Makes no sense :-)

Queen Boudica The Brave: Think a little bit more. If you are an attacker, you will not use the city shield (only if you are a coward ), but if you arent attacker, and you use it, you will not get in any Quests (Daily Challenge) that you need win X battles or defeat any players.
So this would be nice for that kind of players.

Ps.: Inno need to remove City shield counter, so that the enemy will not see hoy many hours/days left. Now this can be abused. Just wait the time when it expires and strike before the owner reactivate it

in the USA 30-40% of the produced food is thrown away
does that make sense ?

and are you an idiot ?
would you buy something and then throw it away ?
no. then don't buy the city shield if you attack your neighbors

Let players decide how to play the game.

they can decide:
a) they are fighters and attacking neighbors. with all consequences
b) they are not attacking neighbors

didn't you learn as kid that everything you do can have consequences ?
you attack. you get attacked back

or were you the kind of child that attacked and then hided behind your parents ?
a sold life as bully

There is actually a reason why they cost so much Tavern Silver...

If you need/want to hide behind a city shield in order to not be attacked, you should not be able to attack others in the hood. You lose that privilege.
