Defenders blessings to remain active after successful defends

[GoldDS]

Hi all,
Just wondering what do you think about defenders blessings? As due to the update and the so called fix there are much more successful defendings than before. However, being happy about a defence win, is quite short as the next attacker finds a fully unprotected base.
Thus as sort of defending reward blessings should stay active until you really got defeated (particularly the storage blessing).
There were some other ideas in the forum about a little peace treaty after defenses but I guess this would fit better.

What do you think about it?

While I like getting crowns after every defend, I don't think that makes up for the loss of all my lost blessings and resources. I always set up full blessings when I log off for the day and only part of the time are they useful since sometimes i can defend 5 or 6 times before I am defeated which is hacking away at my hard earned resources.

Oh yes definitely. Reward proper defending.

I, somehow, can't come around to accept this. If we should reward defending (by keeping the defensive blessings active), shouldn't we reward attacking by keeping the offensive blessings active after a successful win too (armour blessing, weapon blessing, loot blessing)?
Blessings are meant to be for a one time use or for a limited period of time, and so, when the defensive blessings have done their job once, they should be gone, seems quite right, in my opinion.

Thanks flash, but pls consider after successful attacks you got resources and trade goods. Nothing that you get for defending, even if successful you lose resources and trade goods. So on the next attack after the defense win you get fully wiped and lose even more.
Currently I don't enjoy defending, in total I lose more than if the first attacker after I go offline triggers peace treaty...

That's a close call. If successfully defended, you lose lesser resources than you would otherwise, would be another line of thought.
True, in this game, there's not much incentive to defend. The benefits are more to those who attack more. The game's lopsided, and favors those who attack more often than they defend.

I agree that blessings should be a one-time option. Defending should be dependant on a well-designed base & technological upgrades. Indefinite blessings indeed - where's the fun or skill in that??!

Sorry I shouldn't be punished when I put down several defensive blessings and someone does a joke attack.

All's fair in love and Dominations pal !!

All's fair my ass when we have cheaters running around.

Maybe this could be a future buff for a future nation yet to be determined. Much like if the Germans keep winning they keep there advantage. Feel free to plug "x" nation here. Does anyone think future nations are in the works?

I think they should remain active after a defensive win. Last night I had a defender, fortification, tower and storage blessing active and an attack stole 20k gold and 10k food and removed all my blessings. An hour later a global player looted 500k gold, 50k food and 1k oil and I get nothing for that? Bit stupid really. Especially since the first attacker lost and the global steamrolled me.

Can anyone explain/define what the threshold is for defense blessing being triggered? I know they don't always go away after every attack. For example my Tower Defense remains if none of my towers were destroyed. How does this play out for other blessings?

 

[_Flash_]

I can try for an explanation based on some of my observations. It might not be accurate. If none of the buildings are destroyed, fortification blessing will stay. If the forest defenders don't attack the attacking troops or don't get killed defending (not sure which), the defender blessing will stay. As you mentioned, if your towers don't get destroyed, your tower blessing will stay.

You pretty much align with my thoughts on this. I have noticed at times my Forrest Defenders will spawn in the exact opposite corner and never reach the fight before the small raider force dies off. Hence the blessing remains.
