With all the recent use of demo on refineries I thought up of a trap that would be great. They could call it bomb squad and it could have a radius similar to decoy where is a bomb is placed in its radius it gets diffused. I think that would bring back some of the challenge and stop lazy oil raiders

There are much more efficient and easier ways to get oil than demo tactics, let them waste their time training tactics for a small amount of oil

I'm all for making improvements to the game - improvements that will enhance the game like better AI, better nation balance, better troop balance, more realistic tactics, etc - but wanting the game to be easier is just juvenile. If you want an easy game just go play subway surfers.

What's next - a Revenge blessing that saves you 50% of all oil stolen?
Nexon adding an Automatic Revenge button that allows you to make a virtual revenge attack without actually attacking? You get back a guranteed 20% resources stolen but lose a randaom 30% of your army?
When does the skill come into effect?

This is a war game - you will be attacked. If you want your stuff back go and get it.

I feel for you Brand. I've been barraged 11 times in 8 nights - twice by a guy called Nero. In fact, no matter how often l try to revenge the guy he's always under attack. I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

Anyway, I'm starting to think I'll never make the magic 100k oil but l prefer to get it back the old fashioned way - brute force! The plus side: if you're losing that much oil you're obviously doing ok. The down side: all games have these ''lowest common denominators'' - all we can do is tolerate them - and also revenge their àss off!!

Just took out ''Genius'' from Ninjas in Pajamas :) Now I'll work down the list, only a couple minutes to retrain!

Using demo on oil refinery is the easiest and laziest way of playing that kind of games. It's exactly like subway surfers ;) So nerfing demo on oil storage or bomb squad trap would require players to drop their troops and actually attack with their skills - isn't that what u want? Plus they nerfed it on Clash Of Clans years ago and everybody was happy with it. Nexon just have to grow up to that decision :(

So u just got it wrong - protecting oil is not making the game easier, but using demo on oil storage is making it super super super easy and just lazy ;)

i know it's frustrating but i am totally aganist is since it can be used next to mortars too and just waste a tactic that takes 1 hr to retrain for a trap that takes single click to rearm
a better idea would be a 2nd oil refinery to split the oil loot so it won't be easily raided by motorcycle or demolition or even a single zepplin supported by sabotage

this trap will solve only one out of many ways to easily raid ur oil and will cause many problems

I'm just sick of idiots wanting something to combat something else. People like you wil never be happy unless there's a reaction for every action. How about you battle for resources and accept that when you're offline that's what someone will do to you - and then when you're online you'll do it again. Wanting a trap or blessing or tactic for every farking thing is the farking easy way out.

This is a war game - you want something, go get it. Plain & simple. Stop relying on ''things'' to get the job done or to stop others getting the job done. I would rather play the game than bìtch & moan like some spoilt brat.

Just stop talking for a while ;) and carefully read what I said and then decide what u want - easier gameplay or harder gameplay ;)

You said: "wanting the game to be easier is just juvenile" and I said that using demo on oil refinery is the easiest, laziest way on playing the game, it can't be easier than that! What is the easier way of getting oil? If u know some let me know ;)

And in what way nerfing demo on oil refinery would make the game easier? It would actually make the game harder for all those lazy idiots using demo on oil storage.

And yes I totally understand what you are saying about "This is a war game - you want something, go get it." etc. I totally agree with u about that. But either You like it or not - every strategy game is a game of rock paper scissors - u always should have something to combat something else. All great strategy games have it all balanced and calculated very well - but Dominations not so much ;)

Peace and relax ;)

Demolition attacks on the oil refinery become a right pain once you're storing a juicy amount. I would just like demolitions to be useless on resource buildings. The intended use of demolitions is to hit defensive buildings anyway. This is what I usually wake up to when I'm storing a lot of oil:
