Checking for Protection

Darteye

I am not saying i want it to say the duration. HOWEVER, i think that you should get a pop up message if you goto a kingdom in the attack screen that says "the kingdom you are trying to attack is under protection" or something along those lines if they are under prot. This way we dont have to type in all our numbers just to have to do it over and over on diff KDs searching for on out of protection.

Just a QoL thought

Darteye Idk. Making it “too easy” to see when people are or aren’t on protection imo isn’t great for organic gameplay.

Maybe have a button next to the attack button that says “check for protection” and can tell us if the person is under prot.

Darteye

Brozee ur gonna do it anyway...just saves me having to type in all the numbers...which can be especially annoying on a mobile device

This literally just saves time and has no impact on what u do gameplay wise

Personally don’t mind how it is now. Makes it so people can’t spam through and find everyone on pro quickly.

Lord Thane

Darteye not true, people cast truesights to get target data before sending attack. A lot of times they'll waste wizards casting on protected kingdoms... If they know a kd is in protection, won't waste wizards on it.

I like the idea to know if they're in protection or not, make target hunting so much easier.

Darteye

Brozee well i want to kill things...not farm so if i can do that easier i am all for it 😛

Can we get a poll on this?

trupheus

Why have a button to check? Could just have a notification on the KHoF that says in protection. Add a new column, if the kingdom is in protection that box is checked. Or highlight them a different color. I like the idea of pink. It’s weird how many kingdoms would always be in pink.

Lord Thane

trupheus that's what I was thinking, utopia style... I think stealing some of their ideas is fine, still have the spirit of Thard. This kind of feature would just be a time saver, cut target hunting down from a 30 minute chore to a simple 2 minute thing. Pick target, run Truesight, run the numbers to see if you can break them, run the attack. Easy.

I don’t like anything about this, maybe show it in lvl 2 of truesight? A note that says this kingdom is under protection… if you try to attack a kingdom under protection how long did it take you to push the numbers into your phone… like 12 seconds, get out of here.

Lord Thane

Xliest it sucks for me because I don't have a bigass alliance like when I was a kid, don't have people available with huge data feed constantly getting pumped with targets and fresh Truesights. So now if I want to make an attack it's a huge ordeal, gotta find someone - run truesights, hope it's successful. If the TS works then I get my army ready and send it, but if they're in protection then I have to start over target picking, if I even have wizards left for another TS - otherwise I'm just sending a blind attack... It just sucks. At least if I knew there was protection I can move on rather than waste my time/wizards. I'd vote +1 if we bring it up for vote.

Lord Thane I think the butt pucker attack and, boom under protection is core to the game. We shouldn't be advertising in or out of protection publicly, if that was the case. Makes bottom feeding far easier.

Xliest

Lord Thane just put a star or something in the khof maybe. I don’t see the point, though your going to get a truesight anyways, or if your not then your hitting blind and your risking them being in protection… your just lucky that your troops don’t walk half way there. And realise oh shit this guys in protection… kinda like shadow hall, but self inflicted.

Xliest

Lord Thane if you don’t have wizards left then you have to make a choice, attack blind risk 30 seconds of your life if he’s in protection or not attack and wait for resting. Or someone else to update the TS or pick a new target, I don’t understand the sence of minmaxing time taken to type numbers into your phone.

Xliest

You Don’t have a big alliance yet… you mean. There should be some cap on cooperation in my opinion anyways. If your just here trying to feel the game out and or haven’t met anyone yet that you want to work with it’s very frustrating to have 3 kingdoms from different provinces 2x your size hit you before the retaler finally comes in and takes your last castle… I would quit the game if this was me. We need a large enough base of players and new players to constantly afford that type of turnaround.

Leo

Sorry to say but this is a terrible idea. Knowing someone is under or out of protection is a very valueable data to obtain that easily and publicly. This will kill quite few tricks and strategies that can give a player edge. It is fun to have your or enemy province come up with a plan for series of attacks just before tick, but by miscalculating or a suprise factor a critical attack is denied by protection and all plan fails. Managing that needs quick thinking or having plan B under your sleeve. Or sometimes you may choose to break protection before normal time to suprise the plans on your kingdom. There are more that can be done with this info being hidden to public.

Darteye

I don't know why we are focusing on true sights so much....this is nothing to me if i am ready to hit anyone my size or lower I assume I will win because I run big armies. U can also deduce their size based on land/ks.

Literally you guys think it's such a huge information boost for before I type in my numbers telling me they are in prot? I'm hitting the attack button...period. then they in prot...cool let's rinse and repeat this till it goes through. I am attacking REGARDLESS I just don't have to go through the tedious crap that adds nothing to gameplay to get there. I DO NOT want it to say duration left, now THAT would break the game. This literally just makes it so I don't have to keep typing in my attack numbers.

Like literally if I could and it didn't give retals I would just sent 1 troop to check protection status to save time. Hell want to make an rule if someone hits with 1 troop they don't give a retal? Literally just 1 troop, can't ever win a battle but will give the same result I'm asking for here.

Or even better have some quick buttons like send 50% 75% 100% etc...I would literally just hit 100% every time once I have gate.

That is a very good idea that solves "typing" problem without messing with the protection mistery. And an easy adjustment to add in the code.
Have such buttons for both "each unit" and "all army".

Lord Thane

Leo yeah I like that idea, I'm gonna try plopping something in for that if I have time today.

Lord Thane

Heh, full send it

Lord Thane
Thoughts on having an option just to type in the percent (text box)?
Some may choose a number between 1% and 100%
instead of limited the option to only 50% or 100%
FULL send at the top is nice 🙂
