Night Time

Its awful, if you miss the night time you end up attacking at 7AM and it makes me rage so hard. You would have to wait up all night for the attack to be a good time. Can we just create a set night time for everyone on eu using CET? Nearly all people in my clan work or are in education, and it is the same for all clans. Could we set the night time from something like 2 AM till 14PM for everybody on CET, just to avoid these shitty battles?

This would screw all the eastern (russian, turk) players. Not that I would care, but it would screw them  :mrgreen: :P

They asked for feedback about putting in the option for 18-hour nighttimes right before this round of strat started:

I was really hoping this would happen since it would make the game a lot more playable for people who work.

Im all in Favour of Rank 10 set faction wide nighttime. And increase this nighttime too 12hrs possibly 14hrs.
Given the abuse possibility of a larger nighttime, ie clans get people to stay up all night attack at 4am then by the time normal people wake up at 7am the chance to reinforce is passed nearly. I would ask that this benfits both the attacker and defender by increasing the reinforce window too include all the players nighttime. So if your attacked at the beginning of the Night period (lets say 3am)and the battle will then take place at 7pm the next evening but uptill the 7pm time period  (on the day of the attack) you can reinforce. Stops people abusing increase nighttime by launching attackings at silly hours for a EU/NA map and then been able to fight the battle at a reasonable time. Otherwise you abuse the nighttime and the defender has no time to react, but the attack gets a primetime battle due to the "new nighttime" system.

Thats it for my general thoughts.
A thought in your direction tho Muffin, dont let your clan members start attack manovours at 3am (quick march is a special attack manavour when your in enemy land in my view) in the morning if you dont want to fight at 8am, none of us want to fight then, so if your gonna attack do it at a reasonable time of day and not when everyone else would like to sleep. Peace.
Smooth is the admin NA deserves. Not being that much better, EU deserves Thomek.

I don't like this idea and I'm in a small clan. What about clans with a large amount of members from everywhere? There were even clans with EU and NA parts (though this doesn't seem an issue anymore in this strat).

I e.g. can not play before 6pm on workdays, where a lot of others can play already...

This. And make the nightime set by a faction visible for others so they know when it is set.

If you play strategus in a Clan and not alone you play with/for your clan. If you want to play it alone you can leave your faction and set your own nighttime.
We have members in Spain,Russia and even Australia, and evereryone has roughly the same nighttime. Some people don't like it, but the majority of our members benefit from this nighttime.

Well we set off early afternoon and expected to be attacked by mid evening, but your 3000 man army seemed to miss us somehow... Maybe they were intimidated or just have incredible sight problems. So we carried on and attacked another target once your army decided that 1600 merc troops were too much beef for you.

im sure a clan that did that would find its members less than enthusiastic about doing anything at all on strat :P 



inb4 Nords and mercs clog up more threads with their useless BS talk.. oh too late. guess no one will read this suggestion :(
