No, that's a shit idea and will be abused even more than it already is. I think at this point I would like automatic pre-set 12 hour night times that can't be changed. Obviously offset a bit for EU and NA.
we attacked a village with 1000 well armed attackers last night against free peasant gear
we attacked at 10pm my time, and as you can't see the night time of the defender by clicking on the village i assumed that wasn't too late
the guy we attacked set it to 10pm - 6am, none of our guys could show up at 6am so we lost the battle
the guy has now changed his night timer to 8pm - 4am
the night time thing is just a ridiculous feature tbh; there should be no battles at all between 12 - 12 gmt IMO (on the EU server)
in a game where someone loses 1,000 well-armed troops to 200 free gear peasants because of a dodgy night time feature you know something's wrong ..
i know that the majority of guys in my clan have jobs and have university and other commitments than strategus; can we not make it so there is a default fixed place 24 hour night time that someone can't change seconds before a battle in order to force a battle that the attacker can't possibly turn up to?
like i say, it's just gamey as hell if the defender can win with 200 free gear troops against 1,000 good gear troops because of a gamey feature like that :/
edit: not to mention the night before we lost another 1,000 troops because one of our members accidentally hit the "cancel this battle" button instead of the "save roster" button and somehow because he clicked that (there is no "do you really want to cancel this battle?" message), 1,000 of our troops apparantley just had heart attacks and died.
