Caps on max # attacks

actually no.
what was suggested was a cap on number of attacks from ONE player to SAME player. but one can still be allowed to get 20 people to attack same guy. i believe your pals created this mess, demonic

as much as it sucks, i know, it happened to me as well... i have to disagree here. limiting the number of attacks from one player on another is reasonable. but there ARE reasons for clans to want to destroy a player. it's all game strategy. their reasons might be reasonable and might be right out arrogance but in all cases, they have the right to be able to. it's up to the player's clan to properly support the target, which is very doable. if the player belongs to a clan that failed to support him, it was his mistake to join such a weak clan. just like the offending clan can be a bad one and fail to destroy their target. according to the new battle system, destroying a whole army is a lot more difficult, which doesn't leave the target out naked, and makes support easier. if a player fails to defend himself with these conditions, then something is seriously wrong with his game play and/or clan coordination.
and besides, if that limit was imposed, how do you suggest player destruction be? or even just the initial rune taking? a player gets attacked till the maximum cap, his army is still intact due to good defence, then what? he easily retrains back, and the attackers just wasted a day of attacks till the next day? not very ideal.
the other scenario is, he got attacked the maximum cap. no one can attack him again. he becomes free to attack full force all he wants, leaving himself naked for the remainder of the day? also not ideal, but even an outrageous idea to be accepted.
then comes the coding part, and the loophole abusers (ya ya, we all are, no one dare deny!!) that will send the decoys to increase the attacks on someone, having to code what constitutes an attack and what is a decoy, then others sending 30 naked troops to a whole-clan-supported clanmate to also make him reach the cap, then what? preventing clan attacks? asking friendly clans to do it? the list just goes on, and it's a whole year of coding to our dear developer team.... nah, thank you very much. the current system is very idea, and realistic..

Your comments are fair and valid for experienced game players.

What about the newbie that does not absorb it all, fails to find chat and forums etc?

There are many on the stable server that after some months only discover these things and choose to go it alone! Experience or no experience a player deserves the same rights as any, clan or no clan!

hmmmm yeah, or your pals.  Lets just say, frodo, and I think enough is said about that...

Yes - one whole clan on one village is very different than a whole clan on a whole clan.

Whamra did you really think you identity was unknown, with the regiment names you had closen it could only be you.  The amazing thing is that you are so bent on being #1, and loosing that on stable has made you run amok to revenge the loss on speed - I am amazed that you are even allowed to be the admin.  Play or admin - the conflict of interest is crystal clear to everyone, but yourself.

You think that my clan was behind the uprising against you, Whamra on stable, and therefore you are taking it out on me.  Well, I am sorry my friend, but the list of clans that had enough of your abuse of power is loooong.  It was never about TSR, but YOU, and it was not me, but our clan was the biggest. 

Even though you allied with Patron and morph in your quest to take us out as soon as you could, I predict you will not be allowed to grow strong on speed either.  The community has seen what you are about, and it won't let you dominate the board ever again.  I also predict that when you realize this, that this game won't hold you interest any more, and you will leave it completely, as admin and all.

I really enjoyed playing on speed.  I think we had a really great group of players in our clan that I really enjoyed playing with, but the clan is pretty much shredded, and quite frankly, I don't think I can fit it into my life - I have to sleep at night for my job - to my friends, that I bailed on, as I had to log of for at least 7 hours, I am truly sorry!  I had 20 minutes to make a quick decision and get ready to leave the hotel.  And sorry Tyranicus, that you got my troops, that was not cool, but I was slightly upset at the time.    - I am glad you did not loose any runes over it, as I am not planing to come back to use them.  Why would I want to play a game in which the admin for the game, has a hard on for me, and has clans lined up to take me out?

I think every one is forgetting this is a speed server with more speed travel times, half building times...I think allowing players to be spread out further in the start of the game would help this. There is no 100% way to just allow everyone to play forever un touched by a nasty war or two. It is a war game. As many of games like this it is the same. In other games as well you can be attacked and killed off. Sucks I know, I have been there. The values are still low compared to what they could be later as stable comparison of building speed. Once the distances of players are moved out some later in time it will change.  It happen to a big percent of everyone at one sever at one point or another of being hit bad.  There needs to be a medium because people are not happy one way or other. They aren't happy if they are sitting only building and they are not happy if they are attacked by more then one person.  Daed said he liked having big wars. I think simply the level of amount of players actually playing and distances starting at the begging of the server kindof made for a major war to break out quickly. There was no problems when people were hit and knocked out on stable? And now there suddenly is a problem for both servers since there is a faster server with lot of spells and things added?

B..E..A..U..Tiful!!!!!

he DID have the #1 clan, and by far. he DID have the alliance of badlands and AZ. if i am counting networths right, he DID have more power than the so called "alliance awesome"
let's try to remember the events here, impirian launch on badlands, how many runes were stolen? i will take the extreme case and say a whole village's worth of runes, suddenly, i looked around me, and all badlands pulled gero.
AZ DID get a beating, i admit, they went on vacation very late.
TRT? ganesha and demonic proved to everyone that attacks can be repelled. i went to sleep frustrated by the failure of the offensive. the next day, i woke up, no TRT. wtf?
again, checking the clan logs with allies clans, it was aweful, each time a player loses 10 runes, he pulls a gero. if his neighbour lost 10 runes, he went on vacation. i mean, cmon people! this is what wars are! fight back!
i lost 30+ runes right in the 2nd day after rune stealing was activated... i fought back... but oh well...
i stil believe TRT and co quit, and did not lose.

We had the idea to give defenders the ability to steal valuables from the battlefield at some stage. We might add it later on. Our first idea was to make a thief action that steals equipment from the last battle. Both defender and attacker can cast this action, but they must have at least one thief in the defenders village.

Would it be hard to implement such a simple idea to slow down the night intruders ?

Let say everyone could announce night in his village which would last for 7h  and it could be done once for 24 hour. During the night everything would go slower for this player, so time for incoming troops would also grow. I am not playing on the speed server and most probably will not, but for thous who play it might help to sleep better . From other point of view you can do not announce night so it would come just like summer in Finland no nights at all and everyone on full speed 24 h a day . In addition withing the night hours some units could have their strength increased some in opposite decreased. Well just an idea

yup, and as doom says in another thread for a similar feature, beats the idea of a war game.
